I have recently been to Razzle Dazzle to paint my very own teapot! Caroline and I had such a lovely Saturday afternoon drinking tea, eating cake and painting. My concentration face came out a good few times.

The pale photos are pre-fired and the bright ones are once it’s been fired and varnished. I decided, after an inspiring pub chat to go for the theme graphs, animals and tea.

Today I had my first day off for art purposes of the year. It was an absolute delight! We now have a table downstairs for me to spread out and create lots of mess. I have done my first paper making unsupervised. My Mum gave me a wonderul lesson at Christmas. It’s so relaxing and it takes no time at all.

I have recently been covering photo albums in collage for an extremely wonderful friend of mines birthday, Gemma. Ali and I decided to create two photo albums and I was in charge of the covers. I absolutely loved it! I became slightly obsessed with cutting pictures out of magazines. I ran out pretty quickly but fortunately Caroline popped in for a pot of tea and bought me round a huge pile of new magazines. They were the best types too, household delights!

They are purely decorative and have no deep meaning other than I like the pictures. That made it so much fun to put together and I’m really happy with the result and I think Gem was too!
