What better way to spend a pouring rain kind of day, then playing with friends and creating treasures? Yesterday I treated Nancy of Fete et Fleur and myself to a day at the Castle, to create Wardian Cases with John McRae! I was intrigued with John's inventive use of Mica and Dresden and have totally fallen in love with his techniques! This morning I looked in awe at our creations again, did we really make those? Above you see our finished pieces all lined up in a row, pretty wonderful don't you think???
Here's John putting his 'golden hands' to good work.
We were all happily focused and content...
My case is the one to the farthest right, with a half golden ball (below)...
And here is Nancy's - in front to the right with the delightful chains hanging from it...
