Grandad's Van.

My picture today is a follow up to last weeks.  This van was used by my Grandfather for his newsagents business.  The Registration plate shows PO which was used in West Sussex ( registered at Portsmouth Office) between 1903 and 1932 and the number is the number of registrations used.  I dont know the extact date of this registration but as there were only 1451 vehicles registered to the whole of West Sussex it was probably close to 1920.  How quiet and uncongested the roads must have been!

Kusudama Flower Balls

I love making Kusudama Flower Balls and have made several now.  Each petal is folded seperately ( 60 of them) and assembled into the flowers.  12 flowers make a ball.
This one was made from wrapping paper covered in a buttons design.  Different paper gives very effects.

Encaustic Art

I got a little more ambitious this time and added a tree!  The work looks much better when mounted up even if the Robo did throw a hissy fit and cut the border a little wonky.

Quilling

Continuing with my quest to challenge myself with something new I had a go at quilling.  I have had quilling trashed away for a while but never really persevered with it.  I found sticking it in place more difficult than the actual quilling.  I think I may try more of this.
