November 5th - Travel

First of all this month we played with creating backgrounds for the Hot Air Balloon cards we will be making next month, so that they had time to dry before the class finished.

After the lunch break we made a start on the following three cards.

Card 1 - This was a revision of a waterfall card - papers and mechanism all downloaded from Craftsuprint.


Card 2 - I was going through my old craft magazines and taking out the bits that I wanted to kept.  When I came across the papers to make this card.  So the were still on the card-making and papercraft website, so I could download them and print them on better paper.


Card 3 - This was a shape of card I came across whilst searching the internet for inspiration one day.  It was a shape that no-one in the group had made before.





Sept 3rd - Mixed Media

A change to the published schedule. The group saw what I had created at workshop with Julia Watts and wanted to have a go themselves.  The following three images are Julia's.





This next one is mine from Julia's workshop.




Decided to be more ambitious with the one at craft class.


Only got as far as getting the layout of the bits.

July 2nd - Painting Bottles.

We saved some jars from home, bought bottles from the Charity Shops and Supermarkets for painting this month.  First of all we gesso'd the bottles, before adding colour and paper transfers.  Also decoupaged some glasses and added tea lights to them.

Wished I had seen these bottles of Hels Sheridan before the class.




This is a decorated jar from a recent Dreamees workshop - started there and finished at home.
