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
