Additions to the menagerie!!

Stopping for a while as now have a sore finger from doing so much.

The herd is growing.

Just like the real thing they all look different.

Alfie the Alpaca

I thought this little fella was so cute. He was on the front cover of the Autumn BAS magazine. I bought the pattern and some cheap wool, not ready to use Alpaca yarn yet as I hadn't  picked up a crochet hook for at least 30years. Tension is a bit iffy in places but delighted with the outcome. I now have several of our alpaca group wanting lessons!!!!

Card for Jill

I love this technique which we did at Janet Pring's Clarity workshop. It used the mini gelli plates and a leaf stencil. I use adirondak inks for the background. It so versatile depending on which way you want the inside to be.

Job done

Hopefully all received by now. Thanks to Janet Pring and Pinterest for the inspiration. Love making them but pleased when all done.

Two weeks later

Cria no 4.

Mother Kim with her 6 hour old cria Mr Bentley. He weighed in at 9.5 kilo. No wonder she was last to the feed bowl carrying that weight around.
