Experimenting with watercolours ~ Bambi water scene

Make it Colourful challenge this week is {Colouring a Water scene}

I have used SU stamps ~ Forest Friends

SU ink & pens for the Bambi & the trees

I used SU thing a ma jig & clear sheet to produce the images in the water

I then coloured with water colour pencils & my water brush

I have also used 'spots' technique from the last MIC challenge & had a go at some clouds but you cant see them very well in the picture.

It was nice to be able to do a little experimenting & crafting again after being so poorly.

Hope you like it

How I price my toys ....

.....I thought I would share with you today how I price my knitted Monsters.
I spent a long time researching how to price them and looking at how much other people charge for their toys (which are often not CE tested which they should be!)
Pricing ingredients: Cost of the products: wool, stuffing Use of equipment & other: Knitting needles, scissors, electricity for lights My time: Designing the toy, knitting the toy, testing the toy CE Test: Making sure my toy is to CE standards
Now you have to decided how much you want to pay yourself an hour and any extra profit
How much do you get paid an hour? Shall we say minimum wage £7.50 per hour
The largest toy I make is Pookiechu (the pink one) she takes me 16 hours to make 16 x 7.50 = 120
so that makes Pookiechu £120 before I've even added on the cost of any wool etc!
I therefore decided to pay myself a lot less and she became £65 However even though I know you are paying for a quality toy made with quality products and to the CE stand…
