Books and buttons


The weather here has been cold and went and windy for the last few days so it is not much good for painting the house or gardening.

This means, of course, that there is time to spend in the workroom. 


 I covered the front of this book with molding past and when it dried I added some paint and ink to create a bit of landscape at sunset.

The next step is to decide what to add to the picture.

 


Two new buttons have also been created.


These are very relaxing to work on while the television is on.

Nice full texture here, and those little french knots, can't get enough of them. Good stuff on a cold day. We are sunny and cold here too, all the way round the world. xox

Love seeing your books etc at the moment. I agree perfect weather to be inside LOL when not out walking doogie. Just got back from a walk and it is freezing! Big back wall is waiting until spring to be painted as I have officially had enough of the paintbrush in hand LOL would much rather threads instead.

sometimes I think the challenge with things like tour book is not what to add but when to stop! Your book looks lovely.
Cold here too, perfect for being indoors.

I like your book cover, Dian, it looks 3D.
The rose in your header is a very pretty one :)

Dian, you are having such fun with that molding paste. I love your sunset scene, especially the little tree with the purple flowers.

Your little buttons are so cute, and I can see you obviously love making them. The thread colours you've used are so pretty.

Sorry to hear the weather has been miserable. We had a bit of rain, not much, but at the moment it is still quite warm, with a prediction of some more rain in a few days.

Thank you so much for the goodies in the mail, everything is really cool.
