And now for something completely different...

I actually did something!  Something vaguely creative!  For me!  Not for teaching, not for selling, just for me!!

Sorry about the excess punctuation, but I'm so excited...

I made a collage out of bits of the Sunday newspaper magazine (don't often get a paper, but I was after some more recipes...coz I haven't got that many...ahem).

I then added oil pastels, then Koh i noor paints.

And I've finally got myself sorted out enough to put some things on the etsy shop.  Nothing huge, don't get too excited, but it's a start!

I've been so busy - doing endless paperwork, having a rotten cold, having my teaching observed and graded, and attending another local craft fair, that I haven't had a moment to myself.  Today I'm fighting back!

Warming Pot 1

Finally got round to stitching some braids and wrapping them around my papier mache cooling tower, for an exhibition theme of Chimney Pots....but because it looks like a bit of a woolly cooling tower, I am going to make a series of Warming Towers - comment on global warming?? A fair point, but as I don't much care for political art...I just like the colours and the threads.

This is a WIP - beads and cords and stitching (curved needle?) to be added. Hopefully by the beginning of October....
