To take many photos, but here are a few for starters . Stacks of cards with their first processes - marks, flat 'colour', beginning to distress the surfaces at the end of day one. It's all about layering . And this is the drop sheet - happy accidents always worth saving. More later - I'll remember to take more photos tomorrow! PAINTED QUILT...

Has her nighttime reads (watch your back Anny! Except now it's the summer holi days so she has a fine selection lined up.
