My DIY dress form

This is my finished dress form. Finished 2 years ago that is!

I'm rather bigger than that now but I'm sure it could come in handy for something - couldn't conceive of chucking her away.

This was harder to make than it looks. After wrapping my torso entirely in gaffa tape I realised I couldn't bend to reach the scissors to cut myself out. I woke my sister at midnight to free me. I don't know whether it reflects badly on her or me that she didn't even flinch to be confronted by a half-naked/half-taped sister.

Glass class

I started back at my glass class this week. I do warm fused glass instead of art therapy, it's a WEA class and the teacher is really kind.

I've not taken pictures of last term's work yet but here are a few bits from before:

The first is a yellow frit tulip on a blue confetti background slumped into a dish shape and the second is a face using inclusions.

Unfortunately I give all my favourite bits away and don't have pictures of them but hey ho.
