More bondaweb experiments

Lets just say I've seen better efforts from my lads when they were pre-schoolers at play group.
However, I have to say I did have a couple of hours of fun this morning messing about with pots of acrylic paints and dabbing about on bondaweb in preparation for my planned project which I'm a/ not sharing yet and b/ not telling yet either!
(the samples are drying on the sunny windowledge, and IF successful, I will be back to screech enthusiastically about how marvellous it all is, if NOT, then we'll just leave it at the photo's below and quietly ignore it ...)


Bertie being his usual helpful self, helps HIMSELF to a drink of my paint-y water and gets his whiskers turned pink!
Interestingly most of my paint eventually turned dark blue, its a good thing I don't have desires to become a dyeing expert, unless, of course, I specialised IN dark blue ..

Lilly, meanwhile, was too busy seeing off an intruder to the garden, I mean to HER garden. Here you can see the two cats carefully positioned so as to not quite see each other and I watched for about 10mins as they studiously ignored each other while managing to make it perfectly clear that the intruder was NOT welome but that said intruder was NOT going to budge either!

In the end I felt sorry for the pair of them and fearing one of them would eventually tire of this standoff and start getting claws out, I opened the door and effected to go and hang out the washing which meant, of course, that the intruder FLED .. followed at a safe distance by Lilly who managed to fluff up her tail to quite impressive proportions and if she'd only manage to do same to her tiny skinny frame she'd have looked quite good. As it was she just looked like a weird sort of crossed with a squirrel cat.


She's now sat IN the patch of grass looking all watchful.
Bertie, in case are wondering, (big-girls-blouse!) was sat curling his massive muscular bulk into small as he could wrapped in the folds of the curtains INSIDE the house. (Great big cat like him, you'd think he'd be out there seeing off the intruders or at least helping his tiny skinny bit of a sister!).

Most of my samples are now dry! I'm going to attempt to do something creative with them now.

(The weather, btw, is GORGEOUS and I've got two lots of washing outside on the line and plan to eat my lunch outside - provided it holds for another hour).
