      About ten years ago I made this for Abi's class teacher. She requested me to make twelve things that are blue , I researched and found twelve things that are blue and then painted them on paper ,then stuck them on cardboard and cut them out. I recently found them in a drawer and thought of sharing it in my blog. These are my six favourite ones , I remember the teacher asking me how I cut them out. I had cut them out with a pair of scissors and a blade in some places. Now I wonder how I could have done it so neatly.I have placed them on one of my favourite hand made paper to photograph.
