WOYWW 831 Cardigans and old doors.

Hi everyone, I’m back for our weekly bloghop courtesy of Sarah’s Craft Shed

Brian thought I’d take a better picture of my goddaughter’s circle cardigan so that left him to model it.😹 


I’m now working on her daughter’s cardigan, then I’ll send them both together. 
Bella’s supervising me on this. She sends you all purrs. I need one more measurement to finish the sleeves, and to do the gold embroidery and buttons. 

At art class we’ve been working on the surroundings to the windows. Mine’s in its ugly phase at present, I’ve been using salt, and printing with corrugated cardboard for bricks but it didn’t work well. I want to add strokes of flat brush for the brick on the lower left. The next phase is the window and shutters. I am finding the newspaper collage tricky to cover, but our tutor says we can glue more tissue over it. I’ve added the photo I’m working from to the middle do you can see what I’m trying for. I have a lovely new Winsor & Newton watercolour paint called ultramarine ash for the light blue. 


And finally


I’ll be round to visit after class. Your comments are very welcome as long as they’re signed.
Happy WOYWW,
Hugs

Great cardigan, your daughter is going to look brilliant with that on. I love the window picture too, look forward to seeing it finished. The funnies made me smile too, don't think I could manage the Limbo museum though. Happy woyww, hugs Angela x10x

That last funny made me laugh out loud!! As did your ‘willing’ model, he’s a good lad. Both cardis look great xx. It’ll be interesting to see how your collage progresses, it’s not a technique I’ve done much of so I’m keen to see how you get on!

Fabulous cardigans, both of them. I have been trying to puzzle out the crossed out word! Is it a rude one? Happy WOYWW Angela #11

Brian makes a perfect model for that lovely cardigan. He's a good sport. I love the colours you're working with for the child's one, too. I'm also enjoying seeing the various stages of your painting - it's going to be wonderful when finished. I hope Bella is keeping well. Silver sends meows to her. Have a great weekend.
