sketch box

Well this is a productive week so far.  I have managed to paint more window frames and clear out our storage area.  Having off site storage is very handy but you keep so much junk!

Anyway tonight I have spent some more time on the box that I started a few weeks ago.

It is done now. 

I think.  

I hope. 
 
This will be great to hold a small sketch book and pencils.

I have another box on its way already so that will be tomorrow night's project.

In the meantime two of my grandkids are blogging.

A creative gift

My granddaughter has been staying with me again:  Ally loves to create book covers and uses bits and pieces from my stash.

   The book has a white cover and the addition of text, stamps and stickers is really striking.

crafting at last

 At last I have had some time to play - I want to make a journal cover and to try some different materials or techniques.  I have had a pack of Lutrador on the shelf for months and could never get around to using it.  I also have the wooden printing blocks I bought from Etsy a while ago.  I decided to use some lumiere paints and one of the blocks to add some flowers to the lutrador.

So far, so good.

The flowers look fine.

This is going to be a slow project so I will show some more in a day or two.
