This morning Darren and I walked up to the ceramic studio where he painted a present and I started a project which had seemed a good idea when I thought of it last night. There is a chipped plate that they would like me to paint as a sample and I had the bright idea of covering it with what looked like interwoven ribbons. Spent a while working out how that would work and then with Donna's help we decided that it needed to be a checkerboard pattern and I would then have to paint the details to make it look like ribbons. I was there a couple of hours and you can see how far I got, like I said, it seemed like a good idea at the time!!

Darren meanwhile painted a dish and a plaque and said he didn't mind me taking a photo.

We went to Sainsbury's for food, car cleaning and shopping! Then, this afternoon we had some jobs to do but now Darren is working on his computer tasks and I am watching Columbo!
