Lynda Monk workshop +

Here are some finished postcards from the Lynda Monk workshop. What a lovely, generous lady she is! It was by far and away the best workshop I had ever been on, even surpassing the brilliant day we had with Yvonne Brown (can't wait to finish the stuff we made that day either).


This one is my favourite





These next two are sample pieces that Lynda had made up just for us to practise our painting on, all 15 of us! We also had a vessel gessoed and made up for us to complete (pic to follow, when varnished) two sheets of tyvek, plus several bits already zapped, a sheet of writing on dressmaking paper, two pieces of watercolour paper (for the postcard backs), another larger 'quiltlet' ready for painting (picture to follow when finished), a cd of the complete workshop. Plus other bits and bobs - all for £6!!! The cost of the workshop was taken from our subs. As I say, the bestest workshop ever!

 The next picture is a dear little box we made the other week at 4S, under Shirley's instruction. This was really fun to do, took forever, and used loads of thread, but really sweet. Think I will keep this for myself!

  1. Thanks Jacky for such a lovely write-up.
    All your pieces of work look wonderful - great textures and colours. So pleased you enjoyed the workshop enough to carry on. Hopefully I will be back again sometime to inspire you further. :)
