Canal Barge 1





I suddenly realised that I hadn't posted the finished barges  Not a lot of explanation - I painted them with acrylic paints.  

I thought the best way was to just show a lot of views.






I will explain that the little ornaments on the top of the barge were made from FMM air dry clay, just using my fingers and a paintbrush to hollow out the bucket and jug.  The flower displays had some offcuts of scourer stuck in the top ( the rough side)  and then some little "stamp-plonker" flowers added.   They were all made in white clay, then painted.   The "rope" embellishments came with the kit.


It now has pride of place in my son-in-laws garden, and it is names after his wife and daughter.
