Cupboard clearing and more painting

After Ringtons had been I went out to sort the cupboard of out that used to have our previous gardeners lawnmower in. There are two steep steps into it and I admit that it has just become a dumping place and I can never find what I want! So, as Tina has now entered us for Open Gardens in June I had better get active when I can!
I had an old bathroom set of drawers upstairs so thought that would be useful. No excuse not to go up and down the steps now and actually be able to find things!
I had brought a flower pot home from the studio yesterday to work on an idea for a workshop. I made some pansy templates and drew round all three on the flower pot. I used a fine line felt tip so will be able to check that it will burn away. I have painted the pansies more in dabs than strokes to give some texture. Will be hard to see how they are until fired.
This eveningI have painted the second one of the Russian doll set. I will take the flower pot and the marrow up to the studio tomorrow.
Not long now until the penultimate Traitors!

  1. Blimey the shed looks very much better than it did! This open garden thing, does it mean the Rev is taking up gardening? 😂
    Your flower pot looks pretty good. I'm betting it'll look even better once fired. I love the marrow. The marking on it are really good. That'll look brilliant when fired. You're going to have a great, and unique set of dolls when they're finished. I'm really looking forward to seeing them all.

  2. I hope the latest things turn out well when fired. The other three ‘dolls’ are rally small so will probably get them done and take all three up together. Have a lot of things I have painted that I haven’t seen yet.
    Hopefully Tina will lend a hand in the garden 🤞
