What a brilliant day! It was messy, mucky, covered in paint, pva and gilding flakes! and surrounded by some really talented ladies (Cathryn and Ruth I mean you!) and a room full of like-minded crafters!
It did however start off a bit differently.... Rob (the MDF Man) was totally behind schedule and as I got there early I grabbed a paintbrush and got stuck in priming up all the frames we would be working on later. Bless him, he was totally stressing out... and apologising all day long ... what for? ... we don't know. Everyone had a great day, there was loads of different techniques tackled.. some we liked, some we didn't .. but if you dont try them you dont know!
BIG THANKS TO ROB & ALI FOR A GREAT DAY!
Here's some pics of my box.. its still not finished .... it has to have a clock mechanism put in it and the inside needs decorating.....another work in progress BUT I LOVE IT!!
