Here is the finished book from my workshop with Tracy Evans the weekend before last. Completed before I went in hospital so I could show you.
The last two pages (above) are the front and back covers on Greyboard which was Gesso'ed about three times and painted white twice before I could do anything.
The little book on the third photograph down opens up to reveal this
and here is the book stood up, angled so you can see how it is put together
I have never used these 'hot' colours before but I really like the combo so Red, Orange and Lemon will be coming out again in my craftroom. I did a bit of brayering off on some cards, index cards amongst others, so you will be seeing this colour combo again and again.
In fact my last batch of Index Cards took me to the end of the challenge and you will see I was playing 'catch up' on a few occasions. Maybe next week I will show you them. You can rest assured I will be chomping at the bit to get going again. In the meantime here is my clean and tidy desk for all of you on WOYWW the longest running blog hop I know of here.
Health Update:
Most of you know I had a Pacemaker replaced on Monday, it was eight years old and had reached the end of its life. I cannot praise the staff, Dr Little, Helen from the Pacemaker Team, and the nurses Sara, Karmen and Vicky for the way they looked after me. Also the Royal Bolton Hospital for the care it has taken to keep patients safe, as I am sure many other hospitals have.
I was more worried about the Covid test, in fact the operation did not faze me at all but I can honestly say, I got worked up for nothing. No, it wasn't particularly pleasant but it was not bad and over in less than a minute thanks to Karen the lovely lady who did it at then Winifred Kettle Centre. So please, if you have not had a test, but some time have to, don't get too worried.
