Here is the write up to go with the previous blog.
Not quite sure why I didn't make the charcoal page more exciting!
I like the black and white page better than the all black page which is very bland. I was trying a new ink which was very pale and I need to experiment more to find out what it will show up on.
The other pages from activity 1 are fairly self explanatory, the one I find most pleasing is the one with candle wax, I could see using that as a background for further work.
The pages for activity 2 were done in remembrance of my sister-in-law who died very recently so I did them for her. I loved the pages in the 'morepork' page, a shame the 2 patterns in the top left are together. Why do I always prefer the patterns I do that are curvy, as in the 2 coloured pages.
I liked writing round in a circle (activity 3)but was disappointed that the ones going round in a wonky shape soon returned to a circle, even on my second attempt when I deliberately tried to avoid that.
Spent yesterday showing my 5 year old granddaughter how to do the first page of activity 4. Like most little girls, she's very into writing and loved it. I was very pleased with how all my pages turned out, too!
