Thank you for leaving a comment on my last post! I drew two names for a set of cards- and they were Sera and Marilyn. 

Here are some pins I've been working on this week- little bird brooches. I made them from flat brass frames that I found on etsy, and lacquered on top some tiny illustrations from an antique science book I've had for a while (it fell apart long ago so I had the pages tied together with ribbon. It's nice to give the papers a new life.)

I made a few for my shop and one for my favourite spring cardy.

And now it's the weekend, well soonish. We have a dinner party and some other social engagements planned because it's really starting to feel like friendlier weather for such things.

If it rains though, I thought I might give one of these watercolour projects a go. What are your plans?

See you next week.

    I’m making watercolour mosaics these days. Paint a piece of paper with stripes or blobs in various shades of one colour or in different colours. Cut into various sizes and shapes, then assemble the pieces as a mosaic on another piece of paper and glue them in place. Like this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/96109537/heavy-traffic-original-paper-mosaic
    It’s extremely enjoyable. 🙂
