    Made the lady of the Cats Protection charity stall look at me really strange as I bought the head and torso of a cheap doll Happy I got it for the bargain price of 10p! I think she thought I was going to go home and do some weird voodoo magic on it but I have just the craft project for it \o/ Horray for other peoples rubbish!!!

    I didn't get to see her Thursday and I'm on holiday for 2 weeks now so I've trawled my brain to remember what she said when she did some pyrography with my art group. We worked on wooden spoons to start with as you can pick them up cheap and they're small. Try and keep strokes smooth and consistent (i.e. keep the same pressure and speed) as you end up with uneven burning. I've also seen her build up layers to get darker, rather than press harder for longer. I think it gets a more even colour. She also draws out in pencil what she's going to do so she has some guidelines to work with. The things you work on need to be unvarnished. She also works on chopping boards, other wooden kitchen utensils and pieces of wood she gets cut for her at a hardware shop. She also uses stencils for lettering if she's doing something that needs that kind of look. I hope that helps.

    I wanna go to the craft fair and I'll probably be going on my own so I'd be up for meeting then as well as another meet up later.

    Try making yourself a foot bath in a bowl with warm water and a few drops of peppermint oil (about 2 or 3 drops). It feels really odd and tingly at first but is soothing for sore feet.

    I've got a friend at work who does the most amazing work with pyrography. She's even featured in a book on the subject. I'll ask her when I see her at work tomorrow what tips she'd give.

    I think Martha said Ezme had been away for a bit so that maybe while she's not been in touch. They're both in another swap I'm doing.

    I'm a massive Barry M fan. I've loved them about 15 years and they have always done the most amazing colours. I used to have a really pretty lilac shimmery lipgloss and an some electric blue nail varnish. I love their eye shimmer stuff too. It lasts forever Happy
