A good friend decided to take me along to a silk painting workshop,at that time i'd been under alot of stress and i was amazed at how relaxing it was to just sit and paint....bit of a turning point you could say...
Now i'm being really brave and sharing one of last years Valentines cards i made, it was in a box gathering dust with a pile of other various cards that i think now i'll give to the Cats Protection League to sell...well they might get something even if it's only 20p,lol.
And finally...a photo of Chesters kittens that she had 3 weeks ago, 6 little ones....
This is her second litter but also her last :( so i'm making the most of them whilst they are here.Ok, better get back to clearing that cupboard out :) xx
Cute cats Katy x Think that friend did the crafting world a favour encouraging you along - you are such an inspiration with your design x Thanks for sharing with us x
ReplyDeleteHi Katy
ReplyDeleteSnap! I started card making after making cards with silk painting on them, must be a natural progression. It's interesting to look at cards made years ago isn't it - todays cards are far more sophisticated. Lovely work though

Hi Katy,
ReplyDeleteLove your silk painting, it's beautiful. I think silk paintings are so elegant - they have that beautiful lustre to them. The card is so pretty but I know what you mean about looking back at old works - but it shows you how we 'grow'.
As for the kitties - I want one (strike that) I want them all - they could keep my cat (the worm catcher - also a Chester) company.

You cat looks so proud of her gorgeous fluffy bundles - so cute. Fab silk painting too.

Hi Katy,
ReplyDeleteLove the silk painting, looks fab. My nan did one for Oli just before she passed away, A yellow tractor which he loves and is still hanging on his wall. I remember my very 1st card it was a white A6 blank with 3 silver vase peel offs coloured in with gel pens. At the time I thought it was the best thing ever !!! oh how I cring now.
