Rather a hectic week so not as much progress as I would have liked but I have found something out - doing wattle in 7mm takes forever - there were some expletives in there by the way !

I was looking for a suitable thread to use for the wattle but the best I could come up with was some elastic from a bead making set (sorry Izzy!). It worked but was difficult to trim at the ends and didn't think I had enough of it anyway. I then got out a photo trimmer and my best letter paper and sliced really thin strips which seem to work well and were marginally quicker to do. Unfortunately when I came to do the daub my grey DAS despite having been sealed in a plastic bag since sand bag making has got a bit dry and uncooperative. Probably time to give it to Iz in exchange for her elastic and buy some more. Have done a couple of panels though and put a spot of paint on the first brick panel.
