Today was interesting we spoke about how to stretch paper properly and the many benefits of doing it .. then we had a go at a quick half hour snow scene ... what fun!

Happy Days!

Week one and two of new term ..

Great .. the new class term has started and over the last two weeks I've done this pic ... I'm really pleased with the finished results!


Happy Days!

Finished! Just in time for new class...

Finished the pic of Houghton Mill .. It's ok, though I think the tress could be better, and I must remember to mask out the white areas as you can't paint white!!!

Happy Days!

Shopping Evening

Last night I took my cards (there's lots of them!) to a friend's shopping evening ...



Had a really lovely time, sold a few cards, one plaque, a couple of gift boxes, got an order for a plaque and an invite to have my cards at the Christmas light switch on, tomorrow, at the end of the road which, this season, is collecting for Help The Hero's.!
HURRAH!

Happy Days!
