watercolour demonstration with Janine Gallizia
We were so lucky today to have Janine come to demonstrate
We had a bit more trouble trying to emulate her style
but we will keep trying
lots of works in progress this week
Sue was starting to create pom pom cushion
Jeanette was continuing with her cross stitch and Mary was painting another box
On thursday some water colour paintings were started
… and I finally finished the pom pom rug – a labour of love and an expensive one too
patchwork and teddies
Frances was laying out some beautiful fabric to make a quilt
Clare had made another teddy bear in preparation for the course on 25th July
Sue was making progress with her cork board and Birgitta had made a stunning lampshade with headlines from a German newspaper
Mary finished her beautiful cushion
… and on Thursday we were sketching and painting

Birgitta has finished her lacquered tray and Brigitte was doing a delicate decoupaged box
but mostly we were painting this week. Some lovely watercolours
