Crafting on a rainy Sunday

Morning everyone,

Hope your week has got off to a good start, the weather looks more promising today here in Kent.

Better than on Sunday when we had our crafty workshop, luckily once inside with a cuppa and a biscuit, engrossed in crafting the weather outside was all forgotten.

It's a bit busy this week, later today I'm going to be working with Kasiercraft goodies from Jones Crafts in preparation for my demo at Coleman's Craft Warehouse on Saturday.

Anyway back to Sunday where we had fun with Martha Stewart craft clay which is light as a feather and air drying. The ladies were so surprised by it's light weight and versatility.

We also used the lovely Inka Golds, Brusho's and lots of other goodies to create with our clay and a few cards.

It was chilled and relaxed, we welcomed a new lady into our fold and recent my blog candy winner and her daughter also popped in for a cuppa and a natter which was really lovely.
I'll leave you with a brief look back at a few pics from the day, I LOVED everyone's clay creations and the cards were a bonus.
Next month which isn't far away we're all about introducing Folk Art.
Have a good day, back soon.

Nearly time for the next workshop

Morning all,
Can't believe it's not long until the next Kent workshop, where does the time go!
There's lots in store coming up but for now here's a round up of this month's samples.
We're using Air dry clay to create simple embellishments on stencilled backgrounds alongside various stamps.
It's nearly the weekend and I wish you a good day.

Stamps, stencils, Brusho's and paper clay

Good Morning all,
Thanks so much for popping in this morning.
I'm so fortunate to have such wonderful support both here and on my Facebook page where I share my crafty journey along with 700 of you lovely crafters,
Wow! Sincere thanks from me to each of you.

I thought I'd get my jobs done early today as it's going to be another scorcher and I think my energy levels will be zapped pretty quickly!
First job on my list today, this blog update with some samples for my next Kent workshop in July.
For these I've used IndigoBlu stamps designed by Limor Webber, really loving these sets.
Also I've used various stencils, Brusho's and paper clay to make some added extra's.
Really had fun with these and they're so quick and easy.
Well I had better get on with my jobs for today.
Hope you can stay comfortable and take care in this heat.
Back soon
Love and Crafty Hugs xKx

Workshop results and news

Morning all,

Hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend.
I'm getting ready for a full on crafty weekend with lovely friends
in Bristol and Warwickshire at Pink Tulip Creations.
We're going to be transforming the Candy Box Crafts Brusho box and Notelet box.
I feel very honoured to have two special friends traveling over from Ireland to join us for the weekend too, how exciting!

Last weekend at my Crockenhill workshop we did a simple clock canvas, 10 x 12, using Brusho's.
I did my sample for the ladies using Designs by Ryn to create what I call my Tropical Rain design.

Now after my briefing and guide as to how I did it the ladies have a free rein to create as they wish.
It's fabulous to see everyone's individual take on the original idea, the different stamps they use and orientation to make each one unique.

The abilities range from very new to highly skilled crafters.

My next local classes are booking now and they include the gorgeous Triple frame from Candy box on the 8th March, then on the 18th April the ladies get there chance with the Notelet box and in May we are going to be using Paper clay to make a tag and add to some cards.
My paper clay sample will be revealed this weekend.

So lots going on to look forward to!

For any further info about my classes my email is
craftyk@hotmail.co.uk

So I'll bid you a good day and leave you with a montage of some of the lovely artwork created by my wonderfully talented ladies.
