WOYWW 784 Koi carp and wax fruit

Hi all, 

I hope you’re all well and crafting? I'm here to join in our weekly bloghop, now courtesy of Sarah's Craftshed.

Last Wednesday’s art class was fun, we’re doing Koi carp, with the fishes masked and lots of wet in wet paint, into which we put  rounds of grease proof paper and gauze to make stones and weeds, to which we added more paint.

This week we’ll paint the big carp above and will add more carp with stencils we’ve cut out. 

I’ve also bought some stencils of scales to help with the painting. It’s a fun project!

At Thursday’s class we continued with the wax fruit and we’ll do a watercolour wash over these this week. 

There are Claire’s examples.

On Sunday, Brian and I had a stall to sell my novel, A Sense for Silver at Elham Food and Craft fair. We had a really good day and sold all but 3 of my copies of my novel. I’ve had to get more from the printer!

I had some lovely cards for my birthday including the stunning black and white one from our LLJ, beautiful presents including this silver potbank charm:

a lovely meal out at the Bridge Arms, and of course my summer art class series on Wednesdays. 

Bella sends purrs to you all. 

And finally:

This was in the news but it made me laugh. Poor Rover!

Take care and happy WOYWW
