Coffee pot for May

Hello there! I hope you've been enjoying this sunshine - its been brilliant here! So nice to feel warm although it does make training much more of a struggle! Still - I'll just manage I think!!!

Its been a good week - I hit some pbs in my strength training - 75kg in deadlift, 47.5kg in backsquat and 34.5kg in bench press. It felt good to hit these and I think I could have gone a bit higher too! I'll keep that in the bag though!

On Monday I ran coffeepot. One of the ladies had asked to make a wedding card - now all of the others had said they didn't really want to make a wedding card - so using the same techniques I decided to try and please them all!!! Here are my samples...


Here they are all together - the top right is the one I made as the demo.... I added the vegetation as an afterthought and everybody really loved it - before you tell me its an unusual wedding card - I know - but the wedding takes place in  field!!!!


Here's a closer look...


All the stamps are clarity and I used adirondack inks and stencil brushes with torn paper to create the landscapes.

Hope you enjoy whatever you are doing today!

Big hugs
