Lovely Day

Well it was lovely to be able to have some time off today--what better way to spend it than a trip to the biggest boot sale we have been to for ages!
Boy did we have some bargains!

We couldnt resist this lovely chimerea for the garden--our BBQ's have been known to go on long into the night and now we wont notice the chilly evening air-Bill has loads of wood around the place to burn in our new patio heater!
We couldnt resist trying it out this afternoon,it was beautiful,just listening to the wood crackling away while we sat drinking our rose wine was so relaxing it was unreal!
Bill alao bought a great big piece of solid oak-he is going to be busy down in his shed making me some lovely chopping boards.

But the best bargain I had today was 2 great big framed pictures complete with glass and mounts that were just £1:50p each! I will be using the pctures that come with the frame.
Prints are always done on shiney paper that is ideal for encaustic art--it is almost immpossible to get paper bigger than A4 size for encaustic work so whenever I can I always buy prints and reverse them to work on with the melted wax.I shall have a busy day tomorrow creating some new encaustic work, it will be a first to work on this size so Im quite excited and looking forward to it!
