A couple of weeks ago I made this wacky jewellery set for The Seventh Wave Gallery to display to show some Day of the Dead artwork. I see that Theme Thursday’s challenge this week is “Faces” and would like to share them with you here as my entry/take on the theme:
It comprises a bracelet, a [...]

That’s what inspired this altered jigsaw piece for Wednesday Stamper’s theme – Key *Keys! All the tins of corned beef here (that I have bought), are opened with these keys… Shame to waste it, no?
Stamp: Cherry Pie Artstamps. The background is acrylic paint in shades of ochre and burnt umber, mixed with a little acrylic [...]

I’m Guest Hosting at Mixed Media Monday this week and I have created a little charm bracelet out of broken/recycled jewellery, beads and blue wire and some mini-domino [...]

That’s the Mixed Media Monday challenge from Diane this week… Play! She has made a beautiful inspirational piece too – and as she rightly says, it’s very easy to get caught up in technique, perfection and self-criticism, instead of enjoying the creative process for its own sake.
I’m not good at jewellery, hence I prefer the [...]

“Pin-ups” is this week’s theme (at TGIF) and I chose these beautiful ‘Deco’ ladies to adorn the bamoboo dominos on this cuff. I saw some cuffs earlier this year (I’ll post the link when I can find it again!), and I thought they were gorgeous. I do enjoy working with textiles and mixing it up, [...]

Created by Hand have asked us to make ‘Pins’ and Kelly has written a fab tutorial on how to make arty pins (I saw this in the previous newsletter, I think!). It’s easy to follow and I really enjoyed this one. I used a pretty lady in pink from Digital Collage Sheets, added the word [...]
