Three little squares now complete. This one is bits and pieces I picked up in Scotland. The stones I found on the bank of a river flowing into Loch Ness and the feather on a walk nearby. I have used the same techniques as for the other two and I am still...
I actually finished this a while ago and I have no idea why I didn't get round to posting it. So here it is. I love this and I am pleased with where it sits on the grid with the shells. I know what is going in the next square; some things I picked up on my holiday...
