This week I
am about to take you on a tour of my workroom and what I am about to show you
is dreadful really, I feel quite ashamed! It will make you wonder how I can
ever manage to create anything at all. The purpose of showing my room is to
shame me into doing something about it! That said, this chaotic environment
hasn’t stopped me being creative and you will have seen projects that have
emerged from the squalor over the last few blogs. At the time everything I
needed was at hand somewhere and just needed to be dug out. BUT I have now got
to the stage where I can’t stand it anymore and I need to claw back some order
and calm before continuing.

And here is the ‘after’ picture following a couple of hours
of hard labour! The process was cathartic and, in the process, I have unearthed
work-in-progress which had ended up at the bottom of the pile. I shall now
spend time doing some finishing off.
After
Last week I sold a few diaries covered with felt at Gresford
craft group and I have made more to take this coming week. I am still trying to
work out my preferred way of making them so these are definitely prototypes.
This is just a way of using up the vast amounts of felt that arrived when I
order lights, mediums and darks without knowing what I was going to get! I was
horrified when huge boxes arrived over-flowing with wool tops. Once the costs
have been recovered by felt book sales, I will not make any more to sell.
Here’s this week’s stock!
