Numbers

I've felt more productive this week craft wise. Still not wholly there health wise but I'm getting better. I've made a few things. To start with, here is the update on the stitch. I've finally finished the first page!

A lot of this page is half stitching, so hopefully it'll be a bit quicker than the last page. It's always slow when starting a new page as you have to plot key parts so you can work off those.
I've also made a clock this week. It's a tando creative kit. I haven't put the clock mechanism on it yet cos I'm figuring out how it attaches. I started off by painting each layer black. The bottom layer was coloured with vintage silk wax, the second with silver and the top with gold. It was originally the other way round but I mixed up the layers. Thankfully I managed to salvage it. I then used bronze and silver paint for some of the Numbers, and rose gold wax and yellow rust paste for the others. I had to throw away my Orange rust paste cos it was rock solid. It's the disappointing thing with rust pastes. They don't last long. I like the effect but I won't be getting any more.

It's a great effect for a clock, and won't be the only one I make.

I also made a little puzzle piece. I added a resin keyhole and some texture, then painted it with prima paints. I then added some resin drops that I painted with gold, a paper doll with transparent wings, and a phrase that for the life of me I couldn't stick down. 

I've started making a new piece but it's frustrating waiting for the texture paste to dry! I'm trying to use up more of my stuff so that I've got some space!
