Another "Bodacious" sample













I took some time, today, to prepare more for the Bodacious Bottoms workshop that Kerri and I are offering this Sunday.

This is another sample I worked on this morning. I wanted to work, more, with the Claybord and I am loving it! It really can take a beating and I love scratching into it with various tools; it takes any medium beautifully! I will share more about this fun substrate after the workshop as I want to share student samples on my Blog.

I have just two more posts, to go, to reach my 500th post and then I can offer my giveaways to celebrate :)

The sun is still shining, here, and it's been a lovely week so I am thankful. More rain is expected this weekend and into the next week.

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and artful weekend!

Much love - Marilyn xxoo

I know I missed this post last week because I was busy with issues around my house. But I had to see this one, because it really IS bodacious, too. I am in awe of the way you cut that clayboard. I'd never heard of clayboard until you talked about it recently. Now I hope to find it one of these days in one of my craft stores. I see the endless possibilities, as I'm sure so do you. I know that workshop you taught had to have been simply super!
