I have always loved watching the very talented Barbara Grey, and the wonderful things she creates with her stamping and of course her brayering, so... I decided to buy myself a brayer.
Well, my first purchase didn't go quite as planned as I did find one and thought "Wow, that's a fantastic price..." as it was only £3.99. I got my brand new brayer home and was raring to go, but, on opening the box I soon discovered I had got the totally wrong brayer, (let this be a lesson - check before you buy :/) as this was as hard as a rock. But that aside, it then slowly dawned on me "I haven't got any suitable ink". So I wouldn't have got very far anyway...Ha! Ha!
After searching (for quite a while) on e-bay, I did manage to win myself my very own, Barbara recommend, speedball brayer and some big and juicy ink pads...woo! hoo! There is no stopping me now, well that was until I tried my first attempt at brayering. Oh my word, what a mess, believe me they were. So much so, I'm too embarrassed to post them here.
Oh Barbara you make it look so easy....
To be continued...
Bet they look just fine, it really is practice, also I started by just making backgrounds before trying pictures x
