Helping Hands

That’s our theme at MMM, chosen by Janny this week and she’s made a lovely collage to inspire us all. I found myself drawn to this image of little girls sewing beneath a vintage sewing machine – definitely their idea of  ‘helping hands’!! So here’s how my 5″x7″ canvas turned out.

I’ve been prepping other projects too… I currently have 5 on the go! I’m altering a wooden tray, Asian-style, as a DT project; I have a gessoed board prepped for JP’s Layer Love class which begins next week; a couple of altered items in the first stages for Ria (Home Impressions) and a box of items to be altered for sale at Hatherleigh Festival later this month!

However, I was experimenting with caulk too this afternoon and created this wooden piece… on a recycled wooden stamp block.

This is so much lovelier in RL – I used some Stewart Gill buff shimmer paint for the base coat and it sparkles in the light! It’s a birthday gift/thank you for an arty friend and I think it’s right up her street!!
