Yet again I missed Tuesday's "How to be Inspired Post" BUT I have an excellent excuse. It was D's 13th Birthday! I cannot believe he's a teenager, but I'm so proud of the young man he's become (mushy mum talk but totally true). Woo hoo! Huzzah! Yay! Yippie!
After what seems like an eternity, I finally feel as though I'm getting my footing back. I'm on the mend from a vicious germ attack (surely sent by the goblins). My 'to-do' list has gone from critical to manageable. AND I've been back in the studio making things.
Two biggish projects on the go at the moment.
Here's a quick look at the progress on 'Stumpy'...
The base is a coffee can and the exterior made with paper napkins!
I used THIS tutorial from Sharon Ojala at Homemade Obsessions, and modified slightly.
I'm pretty pleased with the results so far and have my fingers crossed that I don't bugger it up somehow because achieving that bark colour took FOREVER.
Next up a little stone wall using my Corner Room Box as the base.
And if you're interested in a visit here, keep your eyes peeled because I *think* I might offer this project (or a variation of it) as a day-long workshop later this year.
So how have YOU been? How's the weather where you are? Seen any good movies lately?
