Bit's and Pieces

Have been lying a bit low the past few days as all in our house have this bad virus that's going around and coughing ourselves silly, though I managed to do a bit of hand work and finished off a few bags, the middle one and one on the right have the shoulder straps made with the Japanese braiding that I showed you recently..



This is my first painting, have the opportunity to be part of a painting day in a few weeks and we haven't started painting classes yet at Art school, so spent a couple of hours at Nic's and she talked me through the basics, so what do you think?



I took this photo more just to document some stuff, Mackenzie is starting to be hassled by some local kids, so I'm assuming that the egging has to do with that.

Yuck about the eggs - no doubt some little stinker thought that was funny. Way to go on the painting but short on info! Medium is acrylics? Inspired by a photo or your memory/imagination? C'mon, some of us like to know this stuff!
