Masked Finch

Wow! I must be on some kind of roll or something! 

It's not like me to do something so quickly (one afternoon). Normally I have to think about it...rethink it...and then think about it again..and thats just so I can decide whether I'm actually going to do anything arty today! hehehe ;)

I do have to say though that I'm rather proud of myself for doing this...the thinking, the choosing, the application all in one afternoon. Believe me when I tell you that this is some kind of record for me! & I'm rather pleased at how he turned out.

Words of Wisdom

Hi to everyone out there in internet land. I hope you are all keeping well.
I mentioned in my last post that I had been working on something lately, well that something is now all finished and in the hands of its new owner so I thought I would pop on here and share some photos.
It's another handmade book. This one is called 'Words of Wisdom'. It was a commision for a friends daughter who was turning 18. In it are a collection of quotes and little bits of wisdom that friends and family were given as children, or that they have found useful/inspiring over the years. Along with a long lovely letter from mum to her beautiful daughter. It certainly is a special keepsake that I think will be looked back on with a lot of fondness and happy memories as the years go by.
Well here are the pics... Hope you like it.
