Waiting for Christmas

Wrapped the presents, posted the cards and getting the christmas feeling.

Thought I would share the cards I am giving to the grandchildren.

There are 10 items missing on the card below!

mice and tree

Caught on camera whilst walking to mums. The tree with a face and the mice out for a walk in between the showers.

Experimented with the lutradur fabric this week. I have used inks, pastel, gouache and acrylics, all take well. Have a go at stitching next .
This work reminds of the quote by
Yves Tanguy the artist, he said
If I planned a picture before me, it never surprised me, and surprises are my pleasure in painting.

I am not sure what is going to happen next so lets hope it surprises me!
Forgot to say I nibbled bits away with the soldering iron as well.
