Another week of this isolation gone, these Wednesdays seem to come around much quicker than before and yet we should be finding the time dragging. Is it because we are busy crafters? I am full of admiration for so many of my WOYWW friends for posting pictures of the wonderful ways they are working to make things for the NHS, and for all of you out there doing your bit educating your children and keeping them safe. I must say a big thank you as well from me for those joining in with #Cheers. I've decided to show some of my cake icing days at the moment but will be back to my journal shortly. One thing though, I'll never catch up with Shaz with all those lush cards.
Well, this week saw me posting a class to my craft club. I just wanted to hold them together and the person who runs the programme is so busy with her day job at Social Services dealing with vulnerable people that I had to do something to help in my way. I did ask her before I did it, don't want to tread on anyone's toes. Here is one of the cards I made - showing the masking tape technique for a different sort of background.
I had been working on the worksheet for a couple of weeks but due to my back problem it took me a while to get it all finished and ready for posting. Since then, however I have been busy painting my Tando shapes and indexing my new fairy stamps. I managed them quite nicely with sitting in my best chair and using the other table.
Here's my alternative desk with my finished tags
The two burnt orange tags both have stencilling on where I used Crackle Paste but the others have stamping on them, some are second generation stamping. The top left one has his top beak set to one side to give the appearance of it being open and I tried to place the black bits in their eyes in different places to make them look as if they are looking in different places. So much you can do with eyes. These are quite dimensional being mader from greyboard so I have not yet decided what to do with them - maybe mount them all on a bigger board to go on my wall. Great fun making them!
That reminds me, I had better get started on my journal page for tomorrow. See you next week! Stay safe and well! xx
ps Happy Birthday Captain Tom for tomorrow xx
