I had so much fun yesterday. My new extension lead arrived at lunchtime, so after putting my dinner in the oven, I draped the cable safely round the conservatory to put the socket on the right hand side of my desk. That means I am not reaching across a hot iron. This is a new craft for me, so it is all about learning and having fun.
I decided to really get brave yesterday (or stupid) and play with an A5 BLACK card. Oh boy, that was a steep learning curve but so much fun. I have already learned a very valuable lesson. If it does not work out how I imagined, it does not matter one iota because I have had so much fun just playing. It is not a waste of card.
This has not really photographed well but it is really moody and windswept. It reminds me of the moors round Haworth (Bronte territory) on a stormy evening. I think I will leave this as it is, certainly for now. Having watched Barbara and Mike, I know I could change it totally if I wanted.
The second play piece is a remake of the one I didn't like from yesterday's blog.
To me, the proportion of sky and land really did not work. So, I took the iron to it and then wiped the wax away with a tissue, before adding more restrained hills in the foreground. Then, I still did not like the sky, so I swept more colour over it. When I did it, I thought it was a stormy sky, but looking at it now, it looks like mountains rising up from the lake.
Now I have my kit set up on my desk in the conservatory, I get the feeling I will be doing a lot more playing, whenever I get a few minutes to spare. I must remember to keep an eye out for intruders. I had to evict a magpie from the doorstep, cheeky bird. I think it was a youngster, but I don't particularly want his company.
Any of you who have the kit, don't let it moulder in the cupboard. Get it out and just have fun.
