We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

One step forward ...

two steps back!

Sooo frustrating trying to move, my buyer has now lost her buyer, so everything back on hold and I don't know whether the house I want will still be available once a chain has reformed.  Anyway, my property is back on the market ...  arrggghhhh - need to keep it tidy again!

So, very little happening on the creative front, but the Fearless Four did get together recently to finish a project we started some weeks ago.

You may recall the clay flowers I made (see here).  I made some more, to use on our project which was to create a very 3D canvas.

Because we were using a lot of modelling paste etc. it needed to thoroughly dry - hence our second get together to finish off.

I forgot to take a photo after stage one! So here is my completed canvas. A long thin one, which I don't often use.

Ingredients include thick modelling paste, crackle paste, acrylic paint, gilding flakes; the copper leaves I've had for many years, and finally I've used some - though there are lots left!



Here is a bit of a close-up ...




The others managed to do two projects each -

Linda used some pieces from old potpourri!

Lin used some clay pieces and also some of Linda's potpourri!

Monica has used clay pieces, fabric and also some of the potpourri ...

Another fun day with friends.
