The cataract operation on Monday was a success and I have celebrated by making a parchment card. I couldn't wait and started it yesterday. I was so keen to find out by how much my sight has improved especially for fine detail and for colour. I used a pattern by Judith Maslen in November/December's Parchment Magazine. Judith had designed a gorgeous image of the head of Father Christmas which involves the use of colouring and embossing. Some of the colouring involved the face which is always the most difficult to get right.
I shouldn't say so but I am thrilled with the result and am so glad that I have had the cataracts removed. I cannot fault the wonderful service, care and attention I received from my local hospital - Frimley Park.
Here is Father Christmas.
