2nd July First photos of the icon board as raw wood


2nd July 2017


Dearest all,



You will shortly receive an email asking you *not* to give Mum and Dad presents at the party.  Mum insisted that we send it, which is a rather good sign as it suggests (amazingly) they really don't know anything about our secret plans for the icon present!


So please ignore the message...(and do continue to feel free to give them your own gift if you want to!).


Attached are a few photos of the icon board before it is gessoed (a rabbit-skin and chalk glue which is the fine plaster onto which the egg tempera is painted).  


Icons look rather unimpressive during their initial stages of design, but if we have any more decent photos to send you we will.  They will also be posted on the website.



With much love,


Carmody (representing the daughters Grey)
