Just a few more pictures of the little ladies in dresses. The above photo is their little wire legs. After a bit of trial and error I found that a layer of normal masking tape, then one of fancy coloured tape, then a coat of matt medium worked well. I had fun in photoshop playing around with the portraits and like the way they turned out. The ladies have no names but are defined by their button hats!
Black and Silver hat.
Gold dome hat.

Today was good-the new children were quite happy-though it is early days and their parents are still there. The day whizzed by and I got quite a few jobs done.
The highlights were receiving a giveaway I won from The Shopping Sherpa, and a fantastic surprise parcel from a lovely friend. Pictures at the weekend!
There was a lowlight-if that is the correct term-it does for hair! Strangely it also involves Marks and Spencers. I treated myself to a salmon salad as a reward for going back to school(!) and for some reason tipped the little pot of dressing onto my plate first rather than pouring it over the salad. I am glad I did, as a little flash of silver and a wiggling, turned out to be a silverfish! In the pot of dressing! Yeuch! It was actually quite pretty, but obviously not in the context of being in my salad. I kept it in the little pot, and intend to take it into Marks and complain at the weekend. If I can be bothered. It is not really identifiable anymore as it is covered in dressing, but still, would I make it up?
I am hoping for a bland lunchtime tomorrow-not too much excitement! Off to felt an Adam now-more on that at a later date!
