Inky Again

Third time of practice, Rita! I think I had an Off day while Ruth very much had an On day, including brayering in her dusting! However, we did achieve results.

The table was very full! We each have Inkylicious brushes and rubber stamps, Speedball brayer, ink pads (Adirondack, Memento, Tim Holtz), card, post-it note "masks", copy paper for testing colour and dabbing, baby wipes and spearmint soap to clean our inky fingers.

We tidied up slightly as we began our third project of the afternoon and made the beginning of plans as to what we might actually do on camera.

We've certainly made use of these recent purchases, which makes a nice change from buying and trying once...Happy ink dusting and brayering!

Signing

COMMUNICATION

by Susan Blacker

To look, to touch
To see, to sign
This is what’s needed
all of the time.
If we don’t hear you
There’s no need to worry
just watch us and learn
You shouldn’t feel sorry.
I have my health
and I have got hands
so I can sign
To all of my friends
Life is for living, and living is free
so why do some people
make rules for me?
I can converse, really I can,
all you’ve to do is look at my hands.

Now watch this fantastic example of American Sign Language (asl):
