Things I am making-

Little envelope paintings-I am using the window part of envelopes (and other parts too)-inspired by 'etc'by Sibella Court-a beautiful book I have just read-she talks about glassine envelopes. Even the word 'glassine' is lovely. I don't have any of these special things, but the windows are also glassine, so I have those. Also I have been inspired by my friend Chinmoyee's recent acquisition-some tiny Indian paintings done on old postcards-on top of the writing. The paint is opaque and matt and I thought it might be like gouache paint. So I bought some to try-it is lovely stuff! I have never used it before. It covers really well, dries quickly and is very intense in colour. Like very posh poster paint.

A bird doll-for a challenge on cloth and clay dolls. So far I have made and stuffed the body and head and am having some trouble with the beak. It looks like little legs. I am going to wire it and cover it in plaster bandage-to make it more beak like.

Two tiny quilts-I have just finished these and am going to put one on ebay and one on etsy-and will probably sell neither-but you never know!

These are eggs from the Easter sale yesterday. There were also many cakes-the ICT room was chocolate heaven at lunchtime as all the cakes were stored in there.
