Not to say we don't enjoy sitting and reading, sipping wine and yarning, but we do like being busy. I like those darker, larger marks as well and having chopped them up and turned them around like a jigsaw they looked interesting...Go well!Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-54039260176268690802013-04-04T18:25:46.640+10:002013-04-04T18:25:46.640+10:00Hi Valerianna - I am hoping I end up somewhere mea...Hi Valerianna - I am hoping I end up somewhere meaningful and beautiful! Still, I do know I want to make black ink marks on old book pages. That's a start. They might be legible or they might not. Maybe one will be and the other won't be? We'll see, but it's good to have made a start.Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-78108420671113759072013-04-04T18:24:17.820+10:002013-04-04T18:24:17.820+10:00I think we are lucky we work-work from home and ca...I think we are lucky we work-work from home and can therefore use time differently in a way. We are also fortunate in that we both understand and get the need for making (rather than dusting say), and that we live in a community filled with opportunities and support.
