More Texture

I enjoyed my class with Alison Board last month so much I carried on playing for ages!  


I have experimented with mountboard, papers, lutrador, Khadi, scrim, calico to name but a few.


Some have been burnt away, others re layered and, like the little book covers I showed, some can be stitched through.


The way all the texture hold the paints is fabulous.


This is moulding paste through stencils.


Skeleton leaves. yarns, fabrics, foil and texture paste.


Today I seem to have woken up not feeling on the bright side of things, yet again!  John has had a very nasty bout of this cold which is going around that will not leave him and it appears we may now have to share.  I'm a little worried about taking the usual cold flu remedies as I took one dose last night and my stomach has been hurting rather badly since. I do not want another ulcer before Christmas so I will be avoiding taking more.

Sometimes being a quilt maker has it's advantages even more than the usual.  I'm going to find one to wrap up in whilst I have a bit more of a play with some textures!

Have a great weekend.
