marbling session

Today I had a marbling session with Tracey & Caroline (The Three Stitches)- we had  a frustrating fight to insert wire into polystyrene balls, bells & eggs to make a device to hang the Christmas decorations up to dry-Nightmare!!! why is it that even if you make a hole through polystyrene anything inserted into the hole finds a different passage???? Must be an answer somewhere???

We did manage to marble all the baubles in a fashion- however we went slightly manic with the labels as you can see from the photograph!

The beautiful wooden trees & hearts that Tracey sourced from somewhere! look stunning & have worked very well, as do the pieces of card that we intend to cut up & use to decorate cards for sale.

Tracey & I will have to arrange a further session to decorate & assemble the decorations, and in some cases rescue them from disaster.

However even though stressful, mainly me!!! I must get a good nights sleep tonight! we really enjoyed the day & have been very productive.

We keep trying to sell our wares at Craft Fairs so hopefully we will do well tomorrow at Dalton- GO CAROLINE!!!

plenty of labels!
