Maud.. A gift.

Up on the wall to photograph before I give it to my daughter for her birthday today.

This is how I will hand it to her... Wrapped simply in calico, like a medieval treasure.

Just to show you how tiny it is.. 15cm x 15cm..

And here is the photo I worked from.. Just a little artistic licence...

The 'Turquoise Fairy' is finished.

Just waiting to be waxed and strung.. Tomorrow's job.. 

Maud a tiny portrait in progress..

'Maud Love' - A turquoise fairy.

Working on a wooden board, rabbit skin gesso and natural pigments... And to top it all, it's tiny 15cm x 15cm...The challenges I set myself.. I sometimes ask myself why?

2014... Random thoughts and quick marks

Sketching in the Clic ward, Treliske hospital, Truro

I've recycled an old cushion cover into a FREE high chair..Ta Da!

I've have been looking/hunting for a second hand high chair for Maud, but couldn't get hold of one, so googled travel high chair..  This is what come up.. A fabric one.. Fantastic I thought but what can I make it from without it costing anything.. So in my hunt, not many boxes opened since our move to Cornwall I found and have now recycled a piece of

 

fabric that I had made into a cushion for my girls bedroom over 30 years ago.  One hour or so later it's a recycled cushion cover made into improvised high chair for Maud. Cost zero!

Success! Maud loves it.. Well her lunch anyway not so sure about her travel high chair.
