It's been a week of learning for me this week, with the help of my blog friend Kim Henkel I learnt how to make mini books, which I am loving, I made about 15-20 of these little books over the course of 3 days but only 4 made the cut to go in my etsy shop, I had a lot of fun making them and I got very messy making them too, I ended up with one big production line to make the different bits needed for them, it took up all the space I have and more lol, who'd of thought something so small could take up so much room ;o)
A big thanks to Kim for helping me out with these xxxxx
I have also been taking the Misty Mawn online class and this week's 2 paintings are born from that class, the colours are not my usual and a little out of my comfort zone but I like them now they are finished :o)
