Hi girls,
It has been a very busy few days for me. Our crushing (the season in which the sugar cane is cut and crushed) is over, hence it is end of season partying time! On top of this I thankfully had my mate, Cheryll come down for the weekend from Airlie Beach to help me with my Xmas ATCs I had to get done asap. On top of this, I had my daughter and her mate doing invites for the mate's 21st in January. Oh, and let's not forget I had a morning doing alcohol backgrounds with some friends too. So, you see, the tank has been hellishly full!!!!
I have managed to finish off these calendar pages for a swap due at the end of this month. I have been wanting to try the Michelle Zindorf style of brayering and sponging, so Cheryll and I sat and tried to perfect the style. I was sooo worried about the straight line mark that the brayer gives, but once you sponge, you no longer have that definite line! Yes, I quite like this style now! And many thanks to Cheryll for sitting to experiment with me and help me with the pages to boot. The only other hassle was the really long and skinny palette that I had to work with. This was a sizing I had not encountered before, so was testing to say the least.
What do you think of the page?

WOW!! This came out fantastic! Would never guess this was your first try at this technique. I've been afraid to try it myself.
I think it is awesome! I lOVE horses and this is so great!
Hi Michelle,
You have finished these off beautifully. It looks like a work of art. The horses came up fantastically. I am sure they will be the hit of the swap as it is so different.
Well done!!
Cheers

Michelle, this is stunning! The perspective is spot on. Thanks for the tip about sponging over the brayer line. I'd never have thought of that. Love it.
