Sentimental Castings Southsea

I was invited to teach botanical casting at Wessex Sculptors Guild yesterday 🖤 at The Black Shed. It really was an enjoyable day for me and a lovely bunch of people to teach! The autumn sun was glowing low through the trees of Bramdean and I'm pleased to say I avoided the wandering pheasants on my drive through the woods!🐓
Thank you so much for a wonderful day! 💚x

We had all the seasons today with t-shirt, jumper and coat weather here in Dorset!
The October garden was so full of flowers & colour, we had so much choice for our botanical castings, as well as a lovely bunch to take home 🏡 x

Cornish Summer Garden💚
I managed to make a cheeky, little botanical casting from my auntie's garden, while visiting last week! I was unable to cast everything I picked & left the bees their favourites! 🐝 x
