 I continue with my love of crafting with wool and embroidery stitches, as you can see. The salt dough is very interesting to work with (it is a cooked dough of salt and cornstarch and baking soda) which dries very hard with a sparkly surface. A primer coat of mod podge gave a nice painting surface.
