And I managed to miss this one out from the collage-sorry! It’s a fabulous skirt made from a top and an old wrap skirt by the very talented @sweetmyrtle
@TurnYourHandTo posted this pic of her wall, asking for any ideas of how to fill it! It’s warmboard-which I am reliably informed is plaster board with insulation behind it.
Anyone got any ideas? It’s already been re-plastered…!
