Amazing Boys

 Morning  all

Overcast  and cloudy this morning. Sun popping through the clouds. 

Yesterday it gave me a chance to create Week 1: entry into he challenge for Sketches in Thyme . It took a while for the modelling paste to dry. Have made a mistake when trying to do the smaller circles so painted over it

  2. I love how you did this sketch. And making it a boy layout -- always a challenge for me. But that's all I do! Two sons, and now our first grandchild - also a boy. The boys are so very cute!! Thank you for the inspiration and all the details. Stay well.
