I don’t think I’ve the right colour of our Helen’s fungi but I’m pleased to be able to hold a brush again.
I’ve had to use the Frisk maskaway rubber (the square one on the left) as I started this with masking liquid 3 weeks ago and it’s harder to get off, the longer you leave it. I’ve used salt and cling film in the background as well as printing with corrugated cardboard. I’m not very happy with the highlights- I haven’t succeeded in making it look shiny and I missed some of the white specks.
My crochet is growing under Bella’s supervision! She sends you all purrs.
I’m up to 8 strips out of an approximate 12 so far.
We’re enjoying the Canterbury festival, seeing Caravan (70s rock band) last Sunday and the Tallis singers in the cathedral next Saturday.
And finally,
Happy Halloween to you all.
I’ll be round to visit after art class.
Happy WOYWW

Your crochet is coming along nicely, thanks to Bella's supervision. :) And the mushroom looks fab even if you are not sure of the colour. LOL to the sugar filled child - sad but true. Heading off for a hospital appt. but Happy WOYWW

That toadstool painting is fab and you used some interesting techniques along the way! Well done on the crochet too, Bella is helping for sure xx. I’m glad you’re getting to some great concerts, the Tallis choir are amazing. The CatNav made me laugh!

Glad youve managed to get back to your painting...it's fab. Love the funnies.

Funnily enough, that is exactly the rubber I was searching for a day ago. I so rarely use it that I have no idea where it is - along with a growing list of items, my Apple ear buds being one of them, or should that be two of them! I have never had much success with masking fluid. Great Halloween funnies. Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
ReplyDeleteGlad you're able to paint again, I think you've done well , maybe needs to be a bit redder but it looks very like it ! The funnies were fab . Happy woyww Helen #2
ReplyDeleteI've used masking fluid in the past and just found it again recently but don't think it's in very good condition. I remember it being quite difficult to remove but normally used my fingers to rub it loose, not the best idea. I love your fungi it looks reaaly good. Purrs back to Bella, Oh and before I go the bat funny was brilliant. Happy woyww with hugs, Angela x9x
ReplyDeleteSuper painting. I cheat and use a bit of fine white Posca pen for my white bits I missed leaving blank shh don't tell. Hugs BJ#1
ReplyDeleteYes the constant emails were driving me mad to, so I unsubscribed . I just go on the site if I need to.
ReplyDeleteJulia Dunnit : Golly Lynne, you are a harsh critic! The print looks amazing, I love how many bits and pieces you've used to create the forest floor, it's a fascinating process. I've had one of those erasers for glue and sticky fingerprints and GKW on cards etc, and never known what it was called. They are like the crepe soles on my old school shoes so I used to just look for my crepe rubber!! Or should that be crape for rubber not food..., I am not able to look at either word and say which is right, I've spent too long looking! Your crochet is amazing, I have been so out of practice that it's come as a bit of a shock to be so awful at it!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm so late, I finally found a few minutes between carving the pumpkin and roasting the seeds! Love the last funny, so much sugar! 😄 I think you did a lovely rendition of the mushroom! Each time you do one, you will get better! Keep going! Bella looks so comfy cozy, I can almost hear her purring from here! 🎃Lindart#14
ReplyDeleteooh love the painting, must admit I bought masking fluid but havent got round to using it. Love the jokes, especially the bloody bat one. Kyla
ReplyDeleteYay that you are able to paint again Lynne. Loving the progress you have made with that and the crocheting. Meow to Bella. Sorry for the belated visit. Stay safe and Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh my, Lynne... the vampire bat cracked me up! LOL
ReplyDeleteGood to see you painting again. Please take your time. Bella looks comfy. I don't crochet as much as I used to because Tabby wants to lay in the middle of it.
Creative Blessings! `
