My working table in the last months

Two months ago and after some "up and down" with my recovery from my broken foot, I thought that it was time to start working, but no way, we had already scheduled maintenance works in our house, which took too long, and so I had no opportunity yet to start painting.

My "giveaway" to Susan and a swap with Eve are on the table and I hope to finish them still this year......,
please excuse me, but I didn´t forget.

And here are some photos:

When I work on the roses I like always to collect a real rose in my garden, it helps me with the colour

Paper roses, painted with watercolour, they are formed with individual petals

Covering the frame with real silver leaf

Good to see you're back to 'work'. Just like Sans, I too love to see progress photos. I see on the flower making, I work the way you do. I also like to pick a real example from my garden in order to get the colours as close to the real thing as I can get them. They look beautiful!

HERCOLANEUM AND POMPEII

Hercolaneum was founded by Hercules according to mythological tradition . In 63A.D. the town was hit by a earthquake which attended all the Campania, and a few years later in 79 A.D. was devasted by the eruption of Vesuvios. When the eruption ended Hercolaneum was covered with a thick layer of mud (at some points over 10 meters deep). Abandoned by its inhabitants this town was never rebuilt.

The same happened to Pompeii, the reconstruction work that followed the earthquake was not yet completed when on August 24th, 79 AD Vesuvius unexpectedly awoke, submerging the countryside with ashes,, cinder and eruptive material, while rivers of lava mixed with mud followed down.

In 20 AD the Volcano was considered extinct by Strabone a geographer, therefore the population was taken by surprise and many of them were killed trying to escape. The eruption of the Volcano was so imense that the top part of the crater collapsed forming the present caldera.

This tragedy that lasted for three long days arrived to us through the letters of the writter Pliny the Younger to Tacitus.
Pompeii remained buried under a layer of ash with more than six meters deep preserving all the evidence of life by that moment, which came mericulously to light more than two centuries ago.
