Yesterday, I joined in by proxy with my dear friend Bevlea,Lucy, Glenda and Elizabeth..all at Bevlea's, to experiment with one of Kelly Rae Roberts projects from her book "Taking Flight" ( Wagga Wagga is 6 hours away from Bevlea's house...too far for a day trip...even for a crow..vbg)
I struck a disastrous hiccup though when I burnt my clay pieces, so I thought I was going to have to get some more clay today to re-do them.(TIP: never get engrossed in other things when cooking polymer clay!)
However, I saw them in a different light today and decided that I could resurrect them by painting them over.
I had planned on using a canvas board as the base and infact, had one ready to go, but I found a piece of old pine, almost the correct, size out amongst my "treasures" in the back shed, and decided to use it instead, as Kelly herself had used a piece of wood.
It's a little off square but I think that adds to it's character,and I like the way it stands without support.
I am not very good at "copying", so my finished project is well and truly tainted with my own style, altho' you should be able to see Kelly's ideas as the base of the work.

Lovely resurrection, Barb! I´ve read Kelly´s book just recently so I see what your techniques are based on - hope I´ll have the time to try some of her tips myself after Christmas!
Barb,your KRR effort looks great.
Amazing what one can do when a cooking disaster hits!
