Okay, tea break. My lovely kite is progressing well. Now, don’t scream, but as its a representation of coming through life with attendant issues such as mental illness, it was never intended to look perfect. She’s come through a few wars.

Next, back to the paint to finish off all the blue. That should keep me occupied for a while yet!
