Craft day at St Lukes Hall

Using some of my screen printed material I made a Uthando style cloth doll last weekend.
Not strictly to Uthando guidelines with the fair skin.
St Luke's craft days cost 8 dollars to participate and happen fortnightly.
It might pay to check at the Op Shop to confirm if they will be running.
This doll took me all of the 3 hours to make.
Uthando Dolls are made to raise money and give comfort to the children / orphans of the Uthando region in Africa. Recently a lady came to the church with necklaces for sale made by African children. Craft is helpful to calm people the world over of all ages.

Bag project - added labels and linings


Candlemaking - The "Mother" of candles

A street throw-out electric frypan gave me the idea to make some candles.
It's important to use one because you can regulate the heat and reduce the risk of a fire.

  fitting this one should end up at mum's place
