Yes, i know, its so humid her...Hi Jayne (Tallulah). Yes, i know, its so humid here, not a bit a wind and no air conditioning.<br />Mind you i always get sore eyes with air conditioning. See, told you i always moan... lol.<br /><br />Hi Kate and John. I'm so that person. I hate, hate, hate summer and come out in rashes too. I get sore eyes and itchy skin and huff and puff until August. It also makes my hair like cotton wool and have totally given up until august now... lol.<br />My ideal holiday would be in the snow.<br />You can make the sacks easily. Some i have bought and some i have made. Before i folded and crumpled i stained the cloth a mucky colour so it was a bit patchy. I used acrylics really watered down. Then i brushed here and there with the same paint mix to make the bottom dirtier. Then a light wash with green here and there so it looked damp.<br />Then i folded the to over and glued in place from the inside with pva so it would hold that shape. Once that was dry i filled with grond tea. Just used my pestle and mortar to make the tea finer. I mix the tea into pva so its really thick then push into the bags. Then do a little layer of pva brushed over this and sprinkle with a topping of tea. <br />You really would think it was soil.<br /><br />Hi Eva. Glad you like it. Its not really hard to do and make look old, damp and used etc. Its just time consuming.<br />If you ever want any advice always email me and i will be happy to help.<br />I'm still learning myself and improve each time i make something.<br /><br />Hi Mary. From watching tv earlier i discovered it's been around 35 today and with high humidity.<br />I'm melting too and have had two cold baths so far. Roll on winter!<br /><br />Hi Rosanna. Here i am moaning about how hot it is but i forget you will have a much longer summer to cope with. <br />I tried to email you earlier but it wouldn't send. Can you email me so i can then email you.<br />My email is rnikkij72@aol.com<br /><br />Hi Tabitha. Glad you like the bench. Its almost finished... lol. <br />You are so lucky to have air conditioning.<br />I think i'll look into this for next year.<br />Maybe even move my work area to a different less hot area too during the summer months.<br /><br />Hi Never enough time. Glad you like the potting table.<br />When i have items to sell on etsy i will first let everyone know here. I think it will be about week until i'm fully ready.<br />I'm just not getting as much work done as i need to to have enought ready.<br />Summer seems to take me away from my table... lol.<br /><br />Hi Debie. I too may start sleeping all day and work at night. But then i can't see colour under artificial light as well as natural. <br />God knows how you are sculpting without the clay going horrid in this heat. All of mine is melting and so sticky. <br /><br /><br />Thanks all. Apologies for any and all bad typing as usual.<br /><br />Nikkinikkinikkinikki72https://www.blogger.com/profile/05767492628469316379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898450558981750637.post-33307221040477757042009-07-02T19:44:14.925+01:002009-07-02T19:44:14.925+01:00Nikki that table is superb!!!!
