Sculptures to market



When I finished the market last month I wanted to add sculptures to my stall. However, even up to yesterday morning I thought I wouldn't have any. Today, I've managed to fix Knitters' Block. Not quite what it was, but I like it.
I am disappointed in Paverpol. It's supposed to dry clear and it hasn't. The instructions are not clear. However, it has adhered to the wood and I'm going to varnish it. I'll put it on the stall as a 'Work in Progress'.
I am going to email Paverpol Australia and ask a few questions. I think it will work, I just need more information.
The 9x5 market is tomorrow. I hope it goes OK.

Blocks and new looms

Another day out, helping a friend with their new loom. It was fun and all questions of 'how does this work?" were finally answered when the top was lifted and all was revealed!
I love traditional equipment, even by a relatively big company, like Leclerc. Each has a unique vision of how something should work, revealing something of the maker/user, though the idea is not always clear.
I did manage to finish, what must now be, a first coat on the blocks and I've started the production of their jackets! I'm very happy, but suddenly, very aware of the time deadline of next week!
Anyway, off to have my porridge!
