Another Snowy Day
Having learned how to create simple lino and wood cuts with Jo Westgate a couple of months ago, and being still a wee tiny bit not keen on going out into the snowy abyss that is the village, today I set about trying out a new skill Jo told us about on that (warmer) September day. I don't know if it has a technical name, but basically I sought my inspiration...

Hooray for new tricks!

ReplyDeleteHi Cat, I met you in Lush ages ago and you really liked my friend's bag (hand crocheted from strips of recycled wool blanket). I've just found your blog details still in my purse (!) I did pass your name on to my friend but will also send her your blog details too. Love your site!
