I bought some little wooden blanks from Craft Den and decided to decorate them to put them on the tree. I covered them with gesso, then transparent Viva Croco paint, allowed to dry overnight and then coated reverse sides, allowed to dry. Sprayed them with various colours of glimmer mists and finished off with Viva precious metal colour in blackberry and turquoise. These were difficult to photograph, you'll just have to believe me that colours are rich and catch in the light beautifully.
Well, off on my travels again, down my see my granddaughters in their respective Christmas Plays (not allowed to call them nativity!). Charlotte is in the infants and she has the leading role, or so she tells me and Lucie is in the juniors and has the leading role in hers. Obviously both talented and take after their Mama (that's me), only kidding, although I did used to be a thespian in my younger days and have actually appeared on the London stage (and not just sweeping up).
These are lovely Ann and might inspire me to start making things for Christmas.
