* blog title shamelessly knicked from Sue's blog 'cos it fitted my post beautifully
I can't believe that this week sees the two year anniversary of The Play Date Cafe Challenge! Where has the time gone! I've not managed to play along since I stepped away from my place as co-collaborator with my fabulously creative friend Julie Ranae, and on the design team, but this week is half term and a bit quieter work-wise so last night I collected some fabrics and set too...
... now I have a new owl in my collection :) I started him by sewing some yummy aubergine coloured velvet onto a similar colour felt, then I attached this to a piece from the curtains. He's stuffed with a bag of rice so he sits up and doesn't fall over. He doesn't look very happy to me, and I'm wondering how you make happy owls! Any tips gratefully received :)
But then, Lucy Casson's creatures don't look happy, but the actual pieces make me smile! This is one Sue and I saw on a visit to Knighton on Saturday. As part of Powys' open studios event, Lucy Casson had some work on display, so we went and had a look :)
There are a few artists working in the Old School House,
...some with tastes similar to Sue's ;)...
(these were in the porch on our way in!)
...including another artist who works with recycled metal...
This is taken from a balcony looking down, how cool is that giant fish slice!!!?!
