LOL Seriously though, it's amazing what a difference learning some techniques can make!<br /><br />Hey, I'll look forward to hearing about the new things you want to try now you're back home... but I know you'll have been exploring all sorts of great things in your travels so you're definitely not in a rut!Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-76306829763459038762012-09-07T10:42:27.202+10:002012-09-07T10:42:27.202+10:00Thanks, Rachel!

That's above and beyond! <br /><br />Displaying those leaves is going to be tricky... need a "deep" frame because if we try to flatten them, they'll end up as fire-starting material. I've put on the thinking cap and I'll let you know how we get on!Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-24575163689306447762012-09-06T19:52:45.479+10:002012-09-06T19:52:45.479+10:00Sharon, I'm so impressed.

My M-i-L paints and my mum used to do the most amazing china painting before arthritis stopped her.<br /><br />Interesting you should ask what we've done differently lately. I've decided it's important to crawl out of my rut from time to time and do soothing different. I've just got back from a few trips interstate and will need to focus o doing a few new things now I'm at home.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-79036839231602408122012-09-06T17:05:32.739+10:002012-09-06T17:05:32.739+10:00Sharon, you're an artist!

The gum leaves are fabulous - how are you going to display them?<br /><br />We *loved* having you to stay at chez Bailey and sharing our indoor plumbing. I think Mr Bailey might be on the lookout for another bottle of scotch to share with Mr Archer for your next visit. ;)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-26225428366006695012012-09-05T22:24:08.175+10:002012-09-05T22:24:08.175+10:00LOL, Marybelle!

And I love the deep reds and the vivid blues -- they capture the feeling of "the bush" perfectly.<br /><br />As for trying anything new...I'm still dancing (or should that be struggling) with my sewing machine. I'm determined to become a clothes-making Goddess. However, it's going to take some time. :-)<br /> <br />Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.com
