. . . like a Bethlehem scene, drawn out for people to paint, who came to the Christmas Fun Day our church had this month, which included also crafts and a performance of Sheila Wilson's
Hosanna Rock.
And on my table, stencilling and nice choice of colours produced some tasteful bits of wrapping paper.
A similar exercise at a similar Day focussing on Africa had a village landscape to paint and . . .
. . . . some Mali mudcloth patterns to play with, not using fermented mud, but freezer paper masking and black and blue acrylic paint!
And going back a bit further still to the . . .
. . . Quilters' Guild 3 Corners Day in October, 3 workshops to circulate round, of which i did one (in the exalted company of Kate Dowty and Carol Dowsett!) In my workshop we made small purses, from 5 x 5" fabric squares. It is one of these random things that comes out with unexpected charm.
But this is all my own work, and not in a breadmaker either! Not sure why it comes out all craggy, but DH says it gives it a nice rustic look.

hi there, I do like your take on Mali mud cloth. They look really good. Given the fact that we have plenty of mud around at the moment, I think I prefer your technique - much less messy.
All good wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
Love your photo's - Brings back memories of when we still lived in Bournemouth ... hope you are surviving the cold
Warm wishes from Perth Western Australia
