Corsets & a Flock of Lambs

Yesterday I had a wonderful, fun, creative day at Victoria Stampers with my good friend Jayne as tutor and a lovely bunch of great crafting buddies. We all enjoyed ourselves tremendously, as we always do, but shamefully, none of us managed to finish her fabulous "Corset Mini Book" project. 

To see a video of one of Jayne's superb finished samples here's the link;

This is as far as I managed yesterday because, there are so many elements to the project and each page is two sided, but to be really honest....we also did so much gabbing, laughing, eating chocolate, drinking coffee and catching up on the 5 weeks since we last met.

 I still have Grunge paper tags to make to go inside each pocket, which were created by the various forms of lacing and fastenings, before I can assemble my book. My cover is partially made and in the top left hand corner you can see the Grunge paper front embossed with a sun ray design. 

I'll post it again when it's complete but do take a look at Jayne's youtube video in the mean time.

Here's a Flock of Lambs especially for Doone 

(who loves superlambananas)

The sun was shining this morning so we decided to seize the day and get out and about. As we were heading to the exhibition we wanted to visit I spotted this flock of Superlambananas near the river front. Why had I never noticed them before? It's a few years since there were hundreds around the city during European Capital of Culture Year 2008 and now just odd ones are dotted here and there but this is a FLOCK!
