practising....

These are old images, taken around 8 weeks ago. I was practising, getting back into the swing of ledgers, books, painting and such before I started class. (to my class...you are not missing anything here. You know how to do all of this now...expertly!) 

I consider this the poorest of my pages, the first one for a long, long time but it was a learning curve, a valuable exercise.

My brain hurt last night...proper hurt.

hurtpast participle, past tense of hurt

Verb:

Cause physical pain or injury to: "Ow! You're hurting me!" well at times like that what is required is a little ''no brain function necessary'' stitching. So I did some French knots....just a little sample for my sketchbook with a tiny bit of needle weaving thrown in at the top of the page and some running stitch securing a blue edge. Practising just in case I forget how to do them... My brain no longer hurts....let's prescribe French Knots on the NHS. (the font is all messed up because I added a quote....c'est la vie)
