"Such a Jocund Company"

Finally finished the Daffodils!
The base was covered with a stitched, distressed and sprayed napkin grid then individual daffodils picked out and "enamelled" with Opals embossing enamel.
The whole was then variously french knotted, straight and cross-stitched into.

and on the beach...

Just had a great weekend with young Alex - in the garden...

Catalogue killing time again

It's nearly time for Catalogue Kiling with Maggie so I though I'd show some of the ink experiments I did a while ago - all sprayed on gesso with salt added and all exciting - colours would probably have looked better in photos rather than scanned but still reasonable I think.
Inks go left to right: Quink Royal Blue Washable, Quink Blue/Black, Quink Black, Quink Red, WH Smith Brown, WHSmith Black (probably neither still available) and Caran d'Ache Amazon - the star of the show!
Back to the Daffodils for a bit now I think...

Next thing is to do some sewing, fix it all together and do some more sewing!

Snow - Tex

I piled Snow - Tex onto an art canvas board and sprayed it - looks like a piece of stone!

Played around with different colours of sprays and did more attacking with the soldering iron!
