Gosh, it has been a month since the last post and what a month it has been. Here in Australia we are in self-isolation due to the virus which is causing disaster all over the world. So far our extended family is safe and staying home as much as possible. We are keeping "cabin fever" at bay thanks to our hobbies, DVD library and "wine cellar". Mum and I have been creating cards and learning new techniques. Backgrounds like the one for the butterfly have been spectacular and Dad has taken one that he classes as art and he won't let me add anything else to it. The book cover with all the added things on it is our first attempt at mixed-media journals. I think it is a great first attempt and so do Mum's craft club ladies who have seen it on FB. Meanwhile Dad has been busy with card and plastic kits making castles and ships. This is one of the castles he makes and gives to neighbour kids. The ships are what he calls "isolation jobs" completed since home isolation was imposed. The paint jobs are his first attempts at painting the camouflage patterns the ships wore at particular dates, rather than the various shades of grey they were at some stages of their service.
I hope that all of my readers are coping with this horrible time and have hobbies to help them cope with "cabin fever".
