It’s that day of the week again when a group of us do a show and tell of what’s on our desks. We also have a natter and last week we exchanged postcards and artist trading cards to celebrate 12 years of friendship.
I want to say a big thank you to lovely Annie and her sister Jo for sending cards to me and for the little bag of lace trims Annie.
Postman Sid brought me this super box of goodies from Instagram buddy Mandy Boxall aka The Dandelion Box. The little packages have all been put together so beautifully. Oyster shells from the beach, hops from the garden, homemade jam are but a few of the things included. What a lucky lady I am.
Back to the desk, I’m coming to the end of the weave prompt at my No Rules Textile Society group. Have I mentioned at least a hundred times how much I’m enjoying being with these like minded folk, even though it’s via zoom and not in the flesh. I’ve done more creating since joining than I have in months.
Last week I had a drive out with the wandering welder, we came across Forest Mill antiques centre at Water near to Rawtenstall in Lancashire, and I came home with these vintage chestnut roasters among other stuff.
They are proving very useful for the weave project I’m working on. Ive woven strips of sari ribbon woven through the holes.
That’s it from me for this week. I’ve got a man with a bad back to take care of, so I’m off shopping on my own.
There’s a link here to the blog post I wrote about my visit to see the Grayson Perry Art Club exhibition
in Manchester at the weekend if you missed it.
Take care
Lynn
