In an earlier post I described the butter pats I painted in ‘roses and castles’ style, but without the roses. This time we have the roses. I painted this traditional wooden rolling pin, which, like the butter pats, have been in my ‘to do’ drawer for a long time.

This project posed its own problems because of the curved surface, so it took a little longer than expected.

Both the pats and the pin are available, with a saving if you buy both, price on application. Suffice to say both are for decorative purposes only …

December and the Christmas holiday is supposed to be a quiet time, well, except for the actual Christmas arrangements themselves, of course. But I have managed to sneak in some arty-crafty stuff along the way.

First there was the rush-job on the Advent Christmas tree – a re-paint after a faux-pas with the spray finish – then I got a bit carried away with the brush-stroke practice. Next I found a piece of stash that needed some attention (please note the nifty faux bois photo layout board), and today I got the ink done on my old Lambretta (my first – Ah! The summer of ’69 …)  . All I have to do now is decide – colour or mono?

What to you think?
