The One True's Standing Mat
'This here's the wattle the emblem of our land you can stick it in a bottle or hold it in your hand' (Monty Python's 'Bruce' sketch)
What you can't see from my crummy phone photo's is that the wattle blossoms are raised a bit (apart from the colour being terribly bad). He wanted me to leave the linen edge as it was. Approx. 50cm round.
My hubby has a lot of pets. Wild birds. They come and sing or chortle outside our bedroom window if they see us there. He's their friend. So when he said he wanted a pad to stand on while at his easel, painting, I thought, there you go.
