Summer Bunting

-

 Did you guess from my last post what I was making?
It wasn't Smurf hats at all, it was...



BUNTING!

I knew it was only a matter of time before I was to make my own bunting. It can be so expensive to buy in the shops can't it but I used scraps of fabric I already had from left over sewing projects and the pink cord was in my collection of bits and bobs. I tend to keep any ribbons or cord for occasions such as this. :)

I'm off on my summer holiday tomorrow so I've closed my shop for now and will reopen on the 18th.

See you when I get back! x x

I love the reusable garland. I love decorating for parties and events, according to the theme, but usually those things have to be thrown away after one or two times, since they're made of fragile paper structures. Pretty.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
