The Greenbelt <\/a>festival…<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

– made my first ever print at the Greenhaus Art School (a venue at the festival)…using ‘Intaglio’ and ‘Drypoint’ (gosh that sounds clever), with a sheet of acrylic and special etching tools. Loved the process (and the smell of the ink) and love <\/em>the outcome. Having done this, I now get<\/em> that there is something special about printmaking and am wondering if I can make some sort of prints at home using my pasta maker!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

– Isabella and Toby made lots of painted cardboard ducks and fish with googly eyes, flowers (also with googly eyes – heck why not?!) as part of the fun stuff for families to do together.<\/p>\n

– we all made ‘music’ on Holly Yoon’s Water Piano.<\/a>Isabella kept saying “Water piano again mummy…water piano, water piano” (I think she liked it).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

– we made beans, sausages and fried eggs for about 20 of us camping together. Loved hanging out with friends around the camp stove but I have to confess, I found myself saying repeatedly, “Why<\/em> am I doing this to myself?” over the weekend as we faced cold wind, rain and freezing night time temperatures. Mmmm…I think I am a camper van rather than tent kind of girl. We will have to start saving up…<\/p>\n

Hope your weekend was good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
