I can't believe I have let a month go by without posting.....even though I have engaged in creative endeavours, it would appear that I have become quite lax about documenting and photographing much of it. Below are a few things I have been up to.
Did you know that it is possible to "felt" stones? I came across some felted stones while visiting a small gallery and was immediately fascinated. They look so soft but then you pick them up and are surprised by the weight. I knew I had to dig out my wool roving and give it a try. A quick check on the Internet led to all sorts of tutorials. These were fun to do, and of course, I was compelled to add a few stitches as well.
A friend asked if I would consider painting a milk can. I said sure, why not.....well.... painting a big rounded metal object was certainly an interesting challenge. My first (and likely last) attempt LOL!

| The can arrived a little dented but a brilliant red colour |

| The owner is quite happy with the end result |
And what would a lovely, bright, sunshiny summer be without a bit of sun-printing. I used lots of tiny pins to hold the fern leaves down, which helped with getting fairly clear images

Girlfriend, you amaze me with how many talents you have. That milk can is sooooooooo fabulous!
I am late again...seems to be my normal "lately". Your sunprint fern fabric is gorgeous. Such a fun bright red milk can and with your beautiful painting it is a true treasure now. Creative Bliss...
