At Last - my new Craft Workshops are coming to Devon.  I'm holding a variety of new CRAFT WORKSHOPS in EXETER -  anyone interested in Card-Making, Jewellery, Silk Fibre Craft, Felting, Beginners Painting and Papercraft in general won't want to miss out on these new Workshops.  

If you like Card-Making, Scrapbooking, Altered Art etc.,  then these are the Workshops for you....

The first Workshop will be "Silk Fibre Craft" - using real silk fibres to decorate a variety of objects - we will also be making our own "Silk Papers" which can be used for all sorts of crafts from card-making and scrapbooking to sewing and covering books. .... 

Also, I'll be covering the techniques using Silk Fibres  that Iv'e had published in " Papercraft"  magazine. 

All materials will be supplied for you and no experience is necessary. Tea and coffee all morning too. Yummy.

Gelli-plate - such fun......

Gelli-plate fun - 

Boy am I having fun playing with my new Gelli-plate. Playing with this new crafty gizmo has made such a difference to my crafting now. I can't stop creating new papers ready to use for my crafting. Take a look at some of the designs so far.... I can't wait to add the designs to canvasses, cards, scrapbook pages and more.

I keep looking at objects around the house wondering what they would look like stamped into the Gelli-plate.

I thoroughly recommend that you get one if you are a serious crafter or artist. Background papers to die for are achievable with just a few layers of paint and stamps.

You can even use kids stamps which, because they are thick foam and quite deep, they make wonderful impressions on your gelli-plate. Every time you create something there is a surprise in store. Look how these Butterflies turned out on this piece.. I just pressed a cardboard Butterfly into the paint and now they look like they are embossed.

I will be designing lots and lots of papers and putting them onto my blog in future posts for you to see. Off now to play again.... Back soon.
