Texture Triangle

Good morning,

Can't believe it's Friday already.

It's looking like tomorrow is going to be glorious, I do hope so as Mum's care home have a BBQ event and I'm going to be selling a selection of giftware during the day. Then we're heading off out to a birthday party in the evening.

Yesterday I had fun playing with textures on a triangular canvas, another sample for November's workshop.

I used DecoArt mediums and paints along with some Art Ingredients, fabrics and various string and threads.

I love the lush colours, it feels quite rich and opulent.

Anyway here's the result of my playtime...

Hope you have a good day.

Dream Catcher

Another blog post from me this evening,

Been busy so a lot to cram in at the moment! Lol

Ok, so I promised a twist on my ever faithful and trusty CD's.

I had a play a while ago with this idea and I'm now pleased that this project will be covered in my workshops and items I'm preparing for sale at a local gift shop.
***ALTERED CD WORKSHOP is now BOOKING***
All enquiries - craftyk@hotmail.co.uk

I've worked directly on the CD and decorated both sides, a lovely project to do and so easy.

I loved it!

As I'm working with Inka Golds on Saturday at
Lisa B Designs Extravaganza Day I'll also have it with me there.

Here's my Dream Catcher...
I've added my latest clock design here too.

Hope you like it and as always I so appreciate you stopping by my blog, thank you.

Enjoy the rest of your evening, I'm off to watch Masterchef...

Mixed Media Workshops

A very good morning to you,
Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
A quick posting from me to start the week and to let you know about my mixed media workshops.
Next on the agenda is a beautiful MDF Notelet box which we'll be transforming.
This went down a storm at the last workshop and was such an enjoyable day.
Dates can be pre booked monthly throughout the year for new projects, just contact me for booking.
Held in a bright, new, airy hall with oodles of light and all mod cons.
There are limited spaces for the next project and bookings are open for dates up until the end of the year.
Be great to see you there!
Have a lovely week.

Another book cover sample...

Afternoon bloggers and crafters,
I've been busy prepping and getting organised for my Bristol and Warwickshire workshops which are fast approaching now!
This is the last sample cover I have to share with you before the workshops arrive.
After a couple of extremely wet days we've had a nice cheery day today.
Hope you're having a good day, I'm off to crack on with my crafty jobs list.
Thanks so much for stopping by...xKx

Spring colour canvas with Lavinia Stamps

I've found a new passion in experimenting with altered art and being completely free and creative.
I made this canvas for the Lavinia Stamps Spring Colours challenge and have used the beautiful
Daydreaming Silhouette Fairy
I've used paints, papers, lace, plaster tape and scrim to build up layers and texture.
Also adding tiny beads, paper flowers and laser cut butterflies.
The secret to altered art I feel is to not be afraid and enjoy the freedom to create.
I hope you like what I've created here with this mixture of ingredients...xKx
