The final plaster is off the scald and it is taking its chances in the fresh air, dear me ~I am getting so accident prone.<br /><br />Oooh yes, stained glass - I love it! I'm afraid I am a bit of a gad about when it comes to media, as I realise now it is colour and texture which excites me, and I have to rein myself in or I would be off in all directions again trying all manner of crafts, finishing nothing. (See my post 'Textile Tarts' which says it all!)<br /><br />Lovely to meet you, I shall be visitning often!Lx.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-39316267158993382872012-07-12T08:44:30.445+01:002012-07-12T08:44:30.445+01:00What a thoroughly entertaining post!

Hope you have more photos to show us.<br /><br />Dylan is thrilled with his visit and his chain-mail....on SUnday we will be visiting Roman remains at Housteads in Northumberland, an old `roman fort. Then they hope to pop up to Alnwick CAstle on the way to Scotland, where they filmed Harry Potter, the castle standing in for Hogwarts! There is one excited little boy here!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-10915448224203746972012-07-06T20:24:18.221+01:002012-07-06T20:24:18.221+01:00Lynne,

My sons would kill for that. <br />Those artistic images in bright colors you have in the journals would translate well to quilts! <br />Thanks for your comments on the trip to Japan and the indigo shop. You would have loved it there. Everything in the shop was created by hand and dyed by hand.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14170109073868532077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-79083375640024579192012-07-04T19:09:14.819+01:002012-07-04T19:09:14.819+01:00Well, Maggie, as I say, lots of my stuff is very d...Well, Maggie, as I say, lots of my stuff is very derivative, but like anyting else, once you 'get your eye in' so to speak, you get going in your own style. I'm very taken with lettering, whether straight calligraphy, or more journal-type text. I LOVE different fonts, if I had a printer I'd make more use of it to print out text in really unusual fonts to use in journals or as templates for applique. So many ideas.....no time for half of them!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-80219961765962172202012-07-04T10:22:53.128+01:002012-07-04T10:22:53.128+01:00Well, I've always wanted to do art journals bu...Well, I've always wanted to do art journals but just don't have the imagination in that way. Plenty when it comes to writing, but not arty stuff. Even bought several books on the subject, now they languish on the shelf here or at my favourite charity shop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-57355134374528609312012-07-04T08:42:09.754+01:002012-07-04T08:42:09.754+01:00Ada, you have caaught the bug now!

As you see, I am a fan of Teesha Moore, but I was 'surfing' last night and there are SOOooooomany other people doing the 'girl/crown/wings/bird' thing, even teaching classes using them. So though I know mine aren't original motifs, I don't feel so bad re-using them because others do too!<br /><br />Yes, it's a pity their visit didn't co-incide with a 're-enactment' up at the castle, the boys would have loved that. Never mind they had a great time there.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-37246851030301288042012-07-04T05:52:55.924+01:002012-07-04T05:52:55.924+01:00Hi, looks like you are continuing to have a great ...Hi, looks like you are continuing to have a great time with the family! thank you for your lovely comment on my blog, it's very much how I am feeling at the mo...... me with a blog!
