I’m also experimenting with a new craft toy – a Kumihimo braiding disk.  I was so excited to receive it in the mail yesterday, except all the instructions are in German…eek!

I also cut into my beautiful orange leather – finally!  Now if I could only put it together…

Last but not least…working on illustrations that will eventually be paintings.  I can never draw the same thing twice without it morphing into something different.  I’m consistent at being inconsistent I suppose, perhaps I can call it originality?  Well, let me try and finish some of these projects now…have a fabulous Thursday and as always I appreciate you stopping by.
