228

at last count. the last lot i put in the oven to dry out when they had been cut and drilled and the smell was amazing - they were cut off a fir so you can imagine.

here are some of my favourites............

painted images

i did wonder what to do with the medallions and frankly the thought of stamping or stencilling was leaving me luke warm. branding was out as i am yet to build a forge. i have no idea of what led me to illustrate the medallions but whatever it was i'm glad i found the way. the wood was a good canvas - it took the ink and watercolour well. they seem durable and have a nice matt finish.

for once there were lots of boysie images - i often find they are harder to cater for. then i added ladybugs, birds and bunnies - there would have been such things in the royal court i'm sure.

133 down (2 rejects) and a couple of hundy to go! 

medallions

for our school fair. i have just drilled the holes (liking the drill press!) - they need an image painted/screened/branded on and a string.

we need 350 - there are 135 here. back out with the chain saw michael!
