Even more confinement
14th April 2021. Well it’s been a long haul in France as we are in a month of even more confinement, not being able to travel more than 10km from our homes. We are allowed to mix with up to six people but it is not recommended. No bars or restaurants are open and, hopefully only for this month, no non-essential shops, which means, crucially for me, the fabric shop. However, I did predict this and stocked up on fabric at the end of March. I have been dressmaking – pictures to come – and needle felting – secret presents so no photos – but not painting. Jenny Gilbert, however has been very prolific and here are some of her much improved water colours.
Dawn has finished her beautiful painting of her grandchildren
Amber, who lives in the UK sent in this embroidery
Viv went on a stained glass workshop recently – numbers restricted to four – and made this (2nd on the left) sun catcher for the garden
Gabriele did this wonderful abstract painting
… and finally John has been having fun making some clocks
