tools of the trade

modflowers: acrylic paintsI love getting stuff in the post.

Especially when it’s stuff that opens up a whole new world of possibilities, like today’s delivery.

I mentioned that after my day at Hope and Elvis with Jess Quinn I was inspired to track down some new tools and materials. Something other than fabrics, that is.

But it was all worth it.

I have bought paints. In super colours…

Expect to see something painted – like, maybe, dolls’ faces perhaps – in the not too distant future.

Or even to go fishing – despite the fact that I bought my other bit of kit from a fishing supplies website.

Nevertheless, I do have a pair of these…

There’s nothing quite like having the right tools for the job, is there? ♥
