Chin colle!

Half-term holiday over and I'm still alive !

The Hula hamster was a requested knitting project that's been quite a while in the getting around to it line

but I was glad that I did it in the end and we're all quite fond of her now! ( have asked permission of her 

new owner to publish pics)

Watch that hamster hula!
"Chin colle" is the other pastime that I've been madly pursuing - the process involves applying colour in 

the form of acid-free tissue paper and acid-free glue before printing on top.

Simples!

Well - not really. Because if you don't want to mark the paper (and you don't), and you want to get the 

colour where you want it , whilst remembering the image will be reversed when you print it....well, you 

get the idea but it keeps you off the streets.

Same print - different colour application!


As yet un-named but I'm sure something will come to me soon...

Its an amazingly creative process that I'm now totally hooked on - watch this space for more.........

Remember this blog is linked to the website - katy-alston.co.uk and is really useful to update you

from but the rest of the work is there.....
Still hula-ing! Bye bye!
