Good afternoon all , and thanks for popping in this Bank Holiday Monday...I do hope that you are having a lovely day.
I have been working all day on DT and magazine work, but I did manage to get a long walk with the dogs first thing.
The weather has been glorious, I do hope that you have managed to enjoy it....I wonder how long it will last....???
On Saturday it was our Clarity Glasgow class , I had tried to keep my Birthday a secret but the lovely ladies surprised me with a bouquet of flowers, a cake and so many cards and gifts, I was overwhelmed...
It really was a great way to spend the day, especially as we had some messy , mixed media play .
We decorated a canvas , using grunge paste, a clarity stencil ( workshop only at the moment...but mmmmm watch this space ) some Gesso and some Inka Gold...
Look how differently it looks when white gesso is used instead of black.
The ladies work was amazing , here is a closer look at one canvas, look at the shine on it.
I used a peg to attach the sentiment , so that , the sentiment can easily be changed,,,or it can be used to attach a note or a smaller piece of art work....
Whilst the GP was drying we decorated a tag....
And after lunch we also had time ( I was cracking the whip!!!) to make a card.
Look at all the fabulous colours....I love them all.
And here is a photo of our little group..... Such a great bunch of friends...
It was another great day , but I must admit that by 9pm when we got home , I was a little tired, but I did have enough energy to open my cards and presents....thank you all so much, I am so lucky to know such lovely and generous people...my house is full to the brim....I am so thankful...
Yesterday had a bit of a sad note to it, my lovely Mum fell whilst walking her dog and managed to dislocate her ankle plus break her Tibia and Fibula bones....she was taken to hospital by ambulance and although they managed to realign the bones she needs an operation tomorrow to have the area plated.
She sounded in good spirits last night and this morning when I spoke to her...( this is when I find it hard not living down the road...)
Thanks for joining me...have a lovely evening, take care ..
Pop back soon
