Evelyn's latest beautiful work

Evelyn's beautiful work

On Friday 28th February we decided to have a day decorating boxes.
It was a great success and we all thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. 
We now hope to make it a regular part of our Friday mornings in between our usual painting sessions. 
It was very interesting as everyone approached their individual box very differently and as they say  'variety is the spice of life' 
Everyone was really helpful and shared their bits and pieces of material around.  Sue arrived with lots of boxes and some of us would not have been able to do anything without her supply as we didn't manage to get any in time. 
Have a look at some of the finished boxes below and watch this space for lots more to follow!
