Kitchen up date

For my piece for OWOH, I have decided to re-visit Hundertwasser. Instead of just using fabric and stitch, this time I will be making it with mixed media. So far I have used paper from the Wall Street Journal and an old book, scrim, Dyna-Flo paints, Crafty Notions Colour Sprays as well as fabric and thread. A poisoned thumb has slowed me down a bit today, and now I have lanced it, I hope that it will be easier to hold my needle tomorrow.

Hubby has finished tiling the wall behind the cooker and will be grouting it next weekend. I am happy with my choice of tiles, you never know when you see a small sample, how it will look when it is on the wall.
