Fabulous Day

Hello again my trusty friends. I hope you are all well and enjoying your Sunday. Especially for those of you not doing so good, please accept my gentle and comforting hugs.
Well, Annie and I had a Fabulous day with our friend Astrid again, we laughed and had fun and we did a couple of canvases each, with Astrid guiding us along. I had never done any media work before and I was so excited at how my first piece turned out.  After a very mouthwatering lunch and exchanging recipes, once again we prepared our second canvas of the day. I think we managed to share a lot of tips and ways that we do things too. The highlight for me apart from creating was in Astrid's craft studio, where a superb array of her work is kept in all its glory.  Most of the pieces I saw before ,but in reality they are completely different.
Our day together went far to fast and after coffee and cake we said our goodbyes and left for home.
I'll leave you with a peek at my first canvas and see what you think. Its so good to do something out of your comfort zone.   Lots of Hugs.  Rita xxxx

In the beginning.......

I can sure it whizzed past in no time at all.
I've just this moment visited from Astrid's Blog and saw the lovely photograph she shared there - the three of you look fabulous!
As does your canvas - who ever knew that you were new to Mixed Media, are you a hustler LOL.
Stunning depth of texture and what a wonderful image you selected.
So glad you shared with us.
Wishes
