ta da!

These are my efforts at stencilling. Trouble is I'm not sure I can stop and I don't want things to get a bit twee.

What do you think?

This is my, formerly, black ash table. It looks a bit dodgy along the edges as I need to sand them smooth but this is a little stencil I did with F & B 'Ballroom blue' paint sample

I like these gold bits-I did them a bit
randomly over the folds and I'm liking this


This is my rusty old knife that I nearly maimed myself on-in fact is that blood or rust?


This is one of the mainly types of paint
used on the formerly black ash table


This is my slashed up finger-
A bit of recycling of Danish Toasts box and a rough
stencil-I will tell you it's all part of the charm that
it's imperfect



Again I am liking the gold very much especially how it goes over the fold



Question is-is it finished or should I add some red as in Cath Kidstone-esque although I nowadays prefer Gisela Graham anyway?-much more mood (much more me)

Gypsy flowers gypsy flowers again... for hiding biscuits



This is the black ash table that was until painted it




And this is the book that holds all the answers to my gypsy dreams

raarrrrrrrrrrhhhhh

Owing to my ridiculously high motivation levels I invariably keep getting asked to assist with creative projects. This was done on an absolute shoestring and included the services of a very kind person from Freecycle as well as a lot of right-brain activity to determine how exactly to make a dragon from precisely nothing
I was not at it's inception-or should that be conception-I don't know. I just added my own version of something from nothing and all in all it added up to this gorgeous beast.

I do think tho that it perfectly represents me -a hot-headed, frequently unamused and generally very underwhelmed with things old dragon
