Fun in the Sun

I had a great afternoon at Chertsey Museum this afternoon, not many ladies as it's holiday season, but it meant that I could play too!
 
I did a short talk about advent calendars - I'd managed to forget my own samples

But a lovely colleague at school lent me two that I did remember to take, so we looked at lots of different possibilities (thanks Anna)

And then we started to play!  The fabric marbling kit was coming to an end: the chemicals to prepare the fabric and to create the base for the paints to float on have now been used up, so we kept going until the very last piece of prepared fabric was used, then threw the dregs of the paints away, but we've created some fab pieces
  

 I'm not sure that photo collage shows just *how* much fabric we marbled!  This pic shows more of it!

Our next challenge is to make things out of our fabrics!

An early post this month, and I think I've been quite productive this month. Chertsey Museum ladies made pin cushions in ramekin dishes ...
