Like all art driven folk I have too many supplies. I have been thinking back over the craft and are techniques I done over my life. When I was in primary school I remember have a tiny business sewing and selling mini gonks for sixpence. That must have been in the sixties.When I went to school we were (the girls) taught how to knit and how to sew. Boys were taught The only thing I remember knitting was a fluffy , pale pink pot holder. We started doing hand sewing I seem to remember making an apron decorated with cross stitch and running stitch. Secondary school no knitting but we moved on sewing with machines, treadle at first then electric. I sewed a blouse with a high collar and elaborate frilled jabot.

Drawing trees

Went to art class tonight we are still drawing trees, we get to use paint when we have been very good. Looking for the natural rhythm. Wednesday is my art day. This morning I went to the art group at the community center around the corner and did a lousy landscape from a demo it a book. I can never think what to do when I go.
The session last for two hours and we stop for a cup of tea and a biscuit at eleven o'clock.

I really must go to the gym this week I haven't been this year yet. The snow is about gone so I may make it tomorrow.

This Duck portrait is acrylic on canvas. The interference paint I used on duck
really catches the light.

A mixed media painting I did of Duck at the end of last year. The infant in the photo
is my mother circa 1933.
