First of all I want to thank everyone for their lovely comments on my last post and to explain why I have not replied individually as I normally do. Typing is getting a more and more lengthy task as my fingers are losing feeling, so I thought I would use my time to craft rather than type. Please keep the comments coming, they mean a lot to me.
I have done another screen from the Gocco machine, another Iris and been playing in my sketchbook with stencils. I'm looking at those iris on the screen and thinking how they would make a circular design, oh well that's something to try when Paula comes tomorrow.
I've been using my inktense blocks to draw imaginary still lifes, I'd like to add some stitch to this if I can.
More pages in my sketchbook using gelato and art stick pens and finally something finished!
My good friend Bev (who teaches C &G) at Beecrafty amongst other places said two or three weeks ago that she would finish this piece off for me by backing it. The amazing thing was in the fortnight or so she had it I'd forgotten all about it, so it was a lovely surprise when she brought it round with a very professional looking binding. Thanks Bev.
And how lovely it is - as is that page from your sketchbook with the gelato and art stick pens ... some great colour combinations.
