A different kind of shadow box...

So I've been asked to show how a different style of shadow box to give people ideas on how you can alter designs / change colour and style. This shadow box is certainly outside my usual style but I had lots of fun making it! It's quite girly with the flowers and lace and had a vintage type look! 

My next class at Crafters Cupboard - 23rd November. a steampunk shadowbox

This is my next class at Crafters Cupboard. It's a steampunk shadow box and further information and bookings can be made at www.crafterscupboard.com.au

Christmas market fun!

It's not even November but the Christmas market season is upon us!! The Crafty Friends were at Flemmington racecourse on Sunday for the second of our seasonal markets. It was hot and it was window but it didn't stop lots of people coming out to look and buy! I've got,a few orders on the go at the moment including one order for 34 Christmas Trees!! I'll try and post a picture of my handmade chalkboard forest when they are complete!

Canvas love at Crafters Cupboard

Last Saturday I taught a group of lovely ladies at Crafters Cupboard how to make my canvas using various techniques. I really enjoyed it and so did the ladies! They couldn't wait to go home and practice some of the new techniques they had learnt during the day. It was great to see the finished canvas'.  Here are some photos from the day

Picture to page show at Sandown- sorry I missed you!

Sorry I've been missing for a few weeks.... Even the cold and flu injection didn't stop me getting sick this year! I completely lost my voice and unfortunately couldn't run the make and take for Paper magic by Kira Rose at the Picture to Page show at Sandown- luckily Julie managed to do the make and take both Saturday and Sunday. I hope everyone who went to the show had a great time and hopefully I'll see you at the next show.

One perfect day canvas

A friend took this photo and I loved it! Luckily they didn't mind when I asked if I could use it... I had a lot of fun making this canvas, the quote particularly makes me smile! I've been playing with the paper artsy crackle on the background, I've used a mask on the photo to add some additional wire, I've also added 2 decorated tags and lots of my metal findings I have been saving and collecting for a special project. I really love how this canvas has turned out.

Altered canvas- my next class at Crafters cupboard. 19th October

This is the next class I'm teaching at Crafters Cupboard. It's an altered canvas using grunge paste, paper artsy paints and dylusion ink sprays. I have also used punchinella, buttons, paper flowers and charms. 

I'm really looking forward to teaching this class on the 19th October !
