The Finished Articles

Here are some pictures of my finished oak book and star book. More picture of the inside pages will follow but the books are currently on display at the Cascade Centre for Dorset Art Weeks so I only took pictures of the books as displayed.

Whoops

Have just realised I said that I was rather finished with the two books rather than pleased...although I did feel a bit finished trying to complete them in time.

Finished!

Well, both books are finished and have been assessed by someone from City and Guilds. Now I just have to wait for the results. I have to say I was rather pleased with both completed books....let's hope the verifier from City and Guilds was. Unfortunately, my books are at the workshop at present but as soon as I have them back I will post some pictures of the finished items. I have really enjoyed the course but am glad it is finished. Every time I wanted to do some other arty or crafty thing I kept thinking I should be getting on with the C and G things. Now I can get on with some of the other things I want to try.

Rather than finish the blog with the finish of the C and G course, I have decided to continue the blog with news and pictures of the other things I am doing. I want to use some of the techniques and new materials I have learned about in collage pictures which I have started doing. I also want to make some more books as I enjoyed that part of the course.
So....watch this space. I will try to add to the blog on a weekly basis but here may be some breaks.
