Workshop with Pauline Twyman

We had a lovely day on Saturday with Pauline doing Artists Trading Cards.  What was special about these was that they are done only in neutral colours - no turquoise!  It can be difficult to restrict yourself to such a tight palette, especially if like me, you use a lot of colour.  Everybody made at least two cards and most did three, even those who did hand sewing.  At the end we chose one of our cards to leave on the table and took away one belonging to someone else so that we had done a trade.  Pauline had made a lovely book to hold hers in and I am tempted to make one myself.

Here is our show and tell table at the end of the day:







At the end of the day I went home and finished my 4th card and did a couple more (one of which isn't neutral but grey and cream).
