But you get the picture… So carefully travel around the inside…
Happy Sunday! Just a quickie from London. Tate Modern here we come! A happy post. And a chance to win a £20 Gift Voucher. Very very easy. Just write the instruction to the card! Name the colours used etc, the ink pads and the sequence. Then – and here’s the tricky bit – write a little poem. Or finish my limerick! A rhyme which befits the artwork. There once was a boy who could fly, He would soar with the…

Hello there! Wednesdays Blog is something new, so here is a brand new, very lovely A5 Stencil, which Annie drew. I love it. Houses of Stars, it’s called. When I looked at the stencil, it was clear to me, that the plastic part of the stencil needed to be black. Solid black. So I set about figuring that out. Had a few runs at a few different ways, with varying degrees of success, and concluded that the best way forward,…
