Because we finally have a sunny day outside and I am a full season behind on my garden jobs, in true Georgi style I have come out to attend to... my latest interest which is making wooden buttons. This is the stage after removing the bark and trying to cut the things straight. Allowing them to dry before drilling the holes and then varnishing. Because I couldn't find the tools required to make more,(I think my husband hid them so I could prune and deadhead) I didn't prune or deadhead but made a wicking bed for this raspberry cane. Is anyone as distractable as me or have I gained my masters in it?

The second little video explains and demonstrates Lino printing so well. we found the softest Lino to work with > not like the old linoleum tiles we worked on years ago! YOU WILL NEEED Soft Lino A small set of Lino tools (at least one large and one small for finer cutting) A small brayer (this is to roll the paint and it needs to be rubber) Block Print Ink (different to Acrylic and Oil paint) A "Chinagraph Pencil" You can buy a complete starter set from your local Art store/Spotlight and even Temu. Keen to create some more prints soon!
