A bit of late night art

just when I thought we weren't going to have a picture for today a sudden late night art attack created three

rainy days and djeco

this blurry picture is showing the most gorgeous craft sets that Annis received for her birthday from this shop.  There is a stamping set, a stencilling set and a paint by numbers set. 

the stencilling set comes with a book of suggestions

and cards showing how to make patterns starting with a single motif

or you can totally do your own thing

it feels like a lesson in textile designing.  And there are plenty of the images to work on.  In fact, I think once you finish the images you would be ready to make your own.  The set comes with the most high quality double ended felt pens with a brush pen at the other end.  I can't recommend it enough!

The second set is a stamping set.  Again the images are beautiful (my favourite is the tightrope walker above) gorgeous stamps and red, gold and purple stamp pads. 

This also comes with a book of suggestions, but you don't have to follow it.  I was worried that this wouldn't entertain us (how could I resist trying it!) but it did, it's just as delightful as the first set and we took an hour to complete one picture each.  Annis also got a paint by numbers set from the same company and again the images are beautiful and the paints good quality but she hasn't tried it yet so I will blog about it when she has.
