a crafting diversion

Although I haven't exactly been over-productive in the printing department recently I thought I would take a break from the thinking about printing bit with a wee spell of other making. It was spurned on by some scraps of book binding leather I picked up during a recent visit to Shepherds Bookbinders (a paper lover's absolute heaven). I fancied making myself a nice autumnal feel brooch - and then couldn't stop. It started with a suede and copper version, extended into leather and fabric and now I am immersed in trying to create a rich lacquered effect on card. I'll let you know how I get on.
