I’ve been quiet here but I’ve been beavering away.

I decided to re-do those stamps. This time I used a metallic puffy paint. I was right. It was firmer and retained a good height.

I finished the autumn project, creating more variety in the colour of the leaves and arranging them to represent a leaf strewn path.

And my sister-in-law Jan and I played with clay and stamps …

Using my new stamps …

And Jan’s idea of using a cheese grater …

And a napkin ring …

Jan’s undulating ornament …

Did some other stuff too and reminded myself why carving wood while tired is a bad idea. Lucky I bought some plasters the other day.
