My lovely middle daughter went back off to College today after 4 months of working on a ship up in Scotland so we have been busy packing and shopping for last minute essentails, boy can that girl shop!!!!!!!
My eldest is 20 tomorrow so its the last day of having three teenage daughters around it lasted 10 days as the youngest turned 13 on the 4th May. Feels very strange knowing shes not a teenager any more and makes me feel ancient. Funny also how shes dreading it and shes still so young, feels only like yesterday that she was crawling about the floor with no real voice, now shes off travelling the world and could talk the hind legs off of a donkey!!!!!

If you do pop over dont forget to write a little something as it makes our days to read lovely comments.
I have been visiting a place called the Hexagon centre this is where I help the clients with their beading, I have been making magnetic bracelets with them which they love as they are just simple beading tecniques
Here are a few pictures of the sort of thing we made
I also have been sorting out some workshops for my encaustic art I arranged them in 5 week courses and sent out the emails I am charging £70 for a 5 week course this is learning different tecniques with the iron to produce some lovely pictures. I am still awaiting replies but I'm wondering now whether maybe I should have chosen just morning or afternoon short workshops I suppose time will tell if you have ever run workshops I would appreciate any comments or opinions you have as this is my 1st time
Here are a few pictures of my work
These are the sort of thing that you can produce from painting with wax and of course no two pictures will ever be the same
Look forward to any comments you may have. Have a great week xxxx
Children grow up so quickly, don't they? The magentic bracelts look lovely. Your encaustic art is gorgeous - good luck with the course x
ReplyDeleteYour braclet and artwork are wonderful, good luck with yor course
ReplyDeleteWow! i love the bracelets and the artwork is just amazing. I hope that your course does work out. If it doesn't you will have learnt something useful so all is not lost! Have a good week :)
ReplyDeleteTime just seems to fly once children go to high school - that's what I found. The artwork is amazing and the bracelets are lovely too. Have a great week and hope you don't miss your daughter too much. Mich x

Your work is so beautiful, I always love to look at what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteI also loved hearing about your daughters. I have 3 boys, quite a bit older than your girls, but I know what you mean. My last one turned thirty a couple of years ago and it was quite a jolt to me, because to be honest, it seems like not long ago they were all small, running around the house, getting into things, and to be honest, we were making crafts! Funny how fast time goes by. :)
Wow I love the shimmer to your pictures they look gorgeous! Sounds like you are teaching a lovely craft to your clients too, I bet they really enjoy it! X
ReplyDeleteLove the colours of the bracelets and I'm really impressed with the encaustic artwork-it looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your lovely comments xx
