During my mahoooosive craftroom clear out last Sunday/Monday I found a tin of small pebbles that I had collected on the Dukes and my summer holiday in Brixham last year …..

I also found the packs of two 5” x 5” canvases (£1.99) that my sister bought in bulk for me last year, as canvas squares of this size are quite hard to find …… I then decided it was about time that I did what I had originally intended to do with them all…….

I made a template heart and drew round it as lightly as I could with pencil. Then I went over the pencil mark with a line of strong PVA glue, placing the small pebbles on top. I didn’t plan the placing of the pebbles …. I just went with the flow. ….. I have a few more to make …. and then intend to give them, instead of a Christmas card, to some of the special people in my life who have helped me in the past few weeks.

And … do you remember this photo I took when we were on our Sun £9.50 holiday in Dawlish Warren at Easter and I noticed a heart shaped pebble just at the edge of the groin … ?????
Well, I found that too and I have made a canvas of my own!
