WOYWW 805 Hexi cardies and Margate art

Hi all, where’s this week gone? Here I am for our Wednesday bloghop care of Sarah’s craft shed


I’ve bought a trolley off Temu to collect my art stuff in one place. I’m not sure this is the right place for it, but we’ll see. I was curious to see how Temu are and while they deliver what they say, they bombard you with “credits”. I succumbed to some Baohang watercolour paper and a notebook, but I’m glad I didn’t sign up for notifications from them; at least I can ignore them unless I want to look at the app. Since the minimum order is £15 I’d end up buying more stuff I don’t need. 

It was half term this week so no art class desk to show. 
I wasn’t very happy with my first hexi cardi, so I’m trying a new pattern in Hobbii winterglow, under Bella’s supervision, of course. She sends you all purrs. 
It decreases on the sleeve side of the hexagon. If anyone’s interested I’ll send details. 


B and I had a day out in Margate on Thursday. I took some flowers for my parents in the cemetery and we went to a gallery I’d been recommended; the Carl Freedman gallery for an exhibition called Realms. 
Some were fantastical,

And some were entirely sewn. 
We had a lovely lunch in Bottega Caruso and walked back along the front, behind the Turner art gallery. 

This Wednesday we will be posing glasses of water over postcards (Matisse for me) and paint them with the distortion caused by the glass. 
You can see the effect in this ‘selfie’ photo by Picasso. 
And finally



I’ll be round to moderate and comment after my art class. 
Please sign your comments at least; I’m not comfortable with totally anonymous comments although Google might make you post without your name at the top. Thanks xx

I sincerely hope that the news in these coming days will be good for us all. 



Take care and happy WOYWW 
hugs

  1. I enjoyed seeing the pics from your Margate day out, the art was fab, the lunch sounded great and those skies were very dramatic! Your art classes don’t half cover some interesting topics, the water distortion should be fun but challenging. Loved the funnies today especially the pockets, lol!

  2. I have some trolleys like that and they are very useful but it's easy to fill them full of stuff without thinking about it but I'm sure in time you'll reorganise it several times before you're happy with it....I know this from experience lol! Happy woyww. Hugs Angela x7x

  7. Going for an art-trip... those are the best (and inspiring!) days! Love what you show, those 'dogs in the wood' are intriguing... my desk photo shows my trolley too, in the background, and I too have those hanging baskets on it. I bought mine at Ikea... Happy woyww, have a lovely week! Hug from Holland, Marit #14

  8. Love the caveman funny!🤣. Your Margate trip sounds fab - especially the art gallery. The sewn pic is stunning. That turquoise yarn in your crochet really makes it pop. x x Jo 🌈

  10. What fun, going to a gallery with hubby! Lovely art, I really like the sewn one! I am looking forward to your Matisse postcards behind water! Things will be fine, we will all survive and 4 years will go by quickly, then hopefully we can right all the wrongs like we did last time. Have a great week, Lindart #15
