Hylands Park

Today we went to Hylands Park to a craft show. We arrived at Hylands park and went around the grounds of Hylands Park. The show was actually held in the house. We looked around the house as there was still the usual exhibitions in there. The crafts ranged from knitting to watercolour painting. We saw aa couple of stands with watercolour paintings on. Many of these paintings had a watercolour theme of winter paintings. This gave me quite alot of inspiration for christmas cards. Some of these ideas included robins and a fireplace scene.The fireplace scene included a fireplace with a cat on christmas eve with stockings hung up. That particular picture was painted by Jenny Henderson, a member of the Essex Guild of Crafts. Also in the crafts fair were also things like these really nice knitted scarfs, but they were knitted loosely on very thick needles so looked very lace like. Among the other crafts were photography, clothing and felt crafts.
