mardi crafts
Sue had an idea to make a mould in papier maché from an existing bronze bust. She is going to cut it in half to extract it and then stick the two sides together. This could work – watch this space.
Birgitta has finished her large papier maché bowl and her decoupage tray
Jennifer was also covering a plain tray with ‘cutlery’ napkins.
Jeanette was continuing with her cross stitch and Mary with her painted box

mardi et jeudi art 26 février 2015
A wet and miserable week but lots of colour and chatter in the barn. On Tuesday morning lots of crafts as usual
And on Thursday mostly oil painting and acrylic
jeudi le 19 février
A frosty morning today so we decided it was best to stay near the warm stove in the kitchen. Mary was painting a wooden tray with delicate flowers on a black background. Jane was starting an oil painting and I was making placemats from glossy magazines.
The sun warmed us up this afternoon, so we were back in the barn. Jan was working on a beautiful oil of an alpine scene, Eric started a portrait in acrylic and Angela was working on her quirky seaside scene in oil. Amanda was working on her rug and Viv was making hearts. I finished my portrait – I think.
