The Challenge

Good morning everyone! For those people who are not following me on Facebook. I have entered a challenge, for the first time in my life. What?  It is a mixed media challenge ( so you can use anything to create your work of art). For me the first choice is paper clay. 

These are a few of my ideas, quick sketched so I don't forget, lately this happens often. The nice thing about sketches is that you can always return to your sketch book and come up with another idea at a later date.

This is the start of the paper mache,  I have been in a very mousy mood lately so I had to 

add a mouse.

Then of course the three elements which are part of the challenge, Witches hats, Black Cats, and broomsticks.

The due date is July 31st. 

If you would like to follow me on facebook follow the link, and ask to be friends.

I will friend you ASAP.

Have a wonderful day, back to Winkling!        K.

Craving Spring

Some of the new listings on Etsy

 I am truly craving Spring! I heard birds singing the other day when the sun was shining. I love the smell of the damp earth when things start to warm. 

 But, I see no sign of the snowdrops so we have a few weeks yet.
