WOYWW 861 Squirrel and cornucopia, chevrons

Hi all, sending big hugs to Neet in hospital and hoping she’s feeling better. 

I’m joining in with our crafty bloghop care of Sarah’s craftshed. 

Here’s my desk at art class, working on my watercolour squirrel. It’s all fluffy and backlit. Tricky. 

And here it is finished:

Lots of use of comb brushes for the fur. 

I’m getting on with joining up the strips of my chevron blanket. As it’s essentially rib, it stretches easily, so I’m having to get the strips to the right length, not easily!

Still, Bella is finding it cozy and sends you all purrs. 

I’ve been searching for items for this weeks winter cornucopia:dried orange slices, berries, chestnuts and a chilli 🌶️  that may not fit. The cornucopia is made of Xmas paper and we’re sticking some of the paper onto the picture as collage, but then we have to paint the rest of the image to match. Daunting!

After shopping, we went to a local pub/restaurant which has changed hands, the Tiger in Stowting, a little village ‘nearby’. I say nearby, which should have meant going back to Stone St (the straight Roman Road from Canterbury to Sandgate castle, down which the assassins of Thomas A’Beckett fled.) Oh, no, we tried to go across country. This part of Kent has lots of valleys and one-track roads, and I very nearly gave up before going back to Stone St. and starting again. It was worth it, though, for an absolutely gorgeous pistachio tart. 

And finally…

I love Wiley Coyote - you won’t fall if you don’t look down. 

I’ll be round to visit after art class and our art class lunch, so put the kettle on!

Happy WOYWW 

Hugs
