Saturday Workshop and a few more pictures

Hi, had a really good afternoon on Saturday, along with my friends Diane  and Yvonne (Meggmay) and this is the Beeswax Canvas that was made at the Hels Sheridan Workshop at Crafty Corner, South Shields.
It started with a plain box canvas base, pieces of patterned papers, distress inks,  random stamping, and  a choice of quotes.  Covering with beeswax,  and them embellishing  and adding a flower we made at the beginning of the session.
Although we all had the same ingredients, the finished results were all different.
Our three canvases -

I am entering mine at:
  Mixed Media World - Anything Goes

Some more pictures from India
  The Taj Mahal at sunset taken from gardens across he river, and yes, it does go the most beautiful pink colour.

This is Fatehpur Sikri, a red sandstone city built in the 16th century which was abandoned 8 years after it was built, when the local wells went dry.                                                                                                

This is the City Palace in Jaipur, and although we weren't allowed photos in some of the rooms the buildings more than made up for that.

 I labeled one of the photos wrongly in the previous post, this is actually the Hall of Mirrors, where apparently 1 candle will light the whole of the room, and if you look closely it us made up of mirror mosaic tiles

 Carved arches in one of the many Palace rooms.

I think this 'guy' thought he was a local celibrity!

 If you look in the distance on the left, you will see an elephant amongst the busy traffic on an ordinary road.

That's it for today,  hope you enjoyed the photos.
