Paul’s treated me to some new watercolours .. and I love them
I’ve started painting again and these new Sennelier are just beautiful love them
I’ve challenged myself to the 100 miniature paintings in a year ..as of today I’m up to 50 ,
Holiday was inspiring
I’m finding it’s really helping me with my boots , even though it’s a different medium , with the new dip pen and inks I’m getting much finer details
Of course it’s taking longer .. but I’m so happy right now LOL
Newbury came and went
Commissions to do then my holiday
What a wonderful week and I came home
I’ve been busy painting
I’ve been having problems uploading pictures from my phone .. but looks like it’s all working now … so it’s catch up time !
My latest wobbler repaint … love her !
Shadow is waiting to be wobbled .. I’d not realised he wasn’t done ! So I’m thinking of restyling him like this ❤️
What a wonderful weekend we had gathering at the Chequers Hotel Newbury
Weather was glorious from the start …we traveled avoiding the MotorWay so our journey took us along the B4597 Ormond Road , Qxfordshire , with the rape in full bloom the scenery was just beautiful,
That pesky cool wind finally dropped so it was sunny and warm , making our visit even more pleasant
Lovely company, beautiful dolls ,glorious weather ….a perfect combination
He was in such a state when I bought him
Poor boy was very well loved and very battered .
He’s had his hair dyed using a combination of Rit dye , his legs cut and wobbled , using apoxy sculpt and blushed
, his arms have been straightened and hands blushed
Then his neck was expended , and his eyes enhanced and a soft blush of freckles
His outfit was made by Mom … MinnieBloomers Designs
And his boots hand made and panted by myself
He’s lovely , we are so happy with him
Available soon
Balancing days with family and friends
I forgot how organised you had to be 🤣
But I’m painting and cutting out by day , sewing by night whilst streaming old Midsummer Murders , Death in Paradise and nothing else that takes my fancy
Doing some felt shoes and I’m really enjoying them
And some dolls and tiny knits to decorate my sales tables
Painting by day and embroidery by night is so satisfying,
