No sunset pictures, no sun last night and none tonight either, in fact is has been grey and damp pretty much all day. This morning Sandy said she would collect me on her way to the studio, it was drizzling but I waited outside for a bit and pulled out a few weeds. also took some pics.
I spent a couple of hours cleaning and filling the paint pots. Sandy was telling me about the record speed in which she sold her house on Saturday, the man took less than four minutes looking round, and in three and a half hours they had settled on a price, it had only been on the market a couple of weeks!
I painted a bit of the fairy, but do want to find and print of a fungi picture so that I make the one she is sitting on look real (even if fairies aren't!)
Then I painted the fifth bowl, not as careful as I could have been but although I like them the novelty of painting them now I am on number five has waned somewhat!
Should be quite a striking colour combination though. I walked home from the studio, very painful ankle and the knee not a lot better, but both eased off as I meandered home.
I was talking to Darren about the pyrography and wondering whether I should varnish or now, I could see advantages and disadvantages in that. He suggested that I was them, and what a good idea. Not only does the place smell gorgeous now, but it has added a depth to the items without making them shiny. Not sure if they will look any different in a photo, but will post it anyway.
No plans for this evening apart from seeing Holby and no specific ones for tomorrow, may go to the pool and hope there are no more power switch offs!
Like the third flower photo of the mauve plant with the droplets on. The blurred background makes it really stand out.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to use the bowls on a daily rotation so they all get used?
I think the wax was a very good idea of Darren's. They definitely stand out more now even in the picture. I hadn't even considered that option.
I wasn't sure about the varnish,didn't seem right, so yes, great idea Darren.
ReplyDeleteI use a bowl for breakfast and others with snacks if I feel like one. Do try and alternate them.
