Tracey aka RattyTatty, has a creative crafting blog on Blogger and she’s giving us the chance to win some of the fabby new Dovecraft Laura Ashley stuff, and there’s also a prize to be picked by the Donor, for their favourite piece!! Go HERE to check it all out – it’s a fab challenge and you’ve got plenty of time to get yourself entered, as it doesn’t start till 14th April and all you have to use is at least 1 Dovecraft product on your project!
Tracey took a break from blogging due to health reasons, but she’s back now and do check out her free downloadable paper designs. I have some lovely quality papers that I’ve downloaded from Tracey – they print out beautifully! I received the Arte y Pico award from her today and read through the other links (love the handbags) and out of curiosity, I went to see what Arte y Pico is all about.
I have had a lovely couple of comment exchanges (in Spanish) with Eseya – whence it originated! Eseya has a lovely blog herself all about the fabric Dolls that she makes – artesanal dolls, using recycled materials – there’s even a Mrs. Spider!! Some of the dolls are historical too – I saw Jane Austen, and a Marie Antoinette-like doll too!
Apparently the idea behind Arte y Pico is to highlight creativity and art and Eseya says she loves to visit blogs and websites which receive her award. I know her site is Uruguayan and all in Spanish, but you can still see the dolls and the Arte y Pico blog has some amazing creations on it… I’ve bookmarked a Japanese book I found on there all about recycling tetrapak/tetrabrick cartons and making various things from them. Before you wonder if I also speak/read Japanese, no, but the diagrams are step-by-step and clear to follow (I hope so anyway!!). So go enjoy!! 😉
I gladly offer this award to all the bloggers in my ‘Inspiration’ section especially and all the ‘NGS Artgroup’ bloggers, but I’m not going to bug you all with comments because I know lots of you don’t like the hassle of picking and choosing! (Me neither… ) 😀
