Samplers



















Some detail shots of samplers for an exhibition that is yet to come in May; I was helping my friend with the mounting of a linen cloth on which the samplers are attached and was allowed to take some photos, hence.
The exhibit will be at Hotel de Sens.

making things



J. had made some kind of bridge with a straw & ruler and I was making a mikado pattern with strips of paper.
and
the ostrich comes from a 70s craft book and is made from an almond, some unpeeled peanuts, calabash seeds and two black beads for the eyes.
happy weekend all!

the same garden in April, two years ago.
