felting

I have been a bit off colour of late and so I wanted something I could sit rugged up in bed and do...that threw a few ideas out the window...except...felting, and so I got out my needle and wool and picked up Needlefelting Magic (by Barbara Allen) and got busy on creating my first little teddy bear...I have named him Peek-a-boo Panda.
It was amazing to see hanks of wool turn into something so cute.

Canvas niche

some of my regular students asked for a new project and what better than a canvas...well the back of the canvas to be exact, yup the canvas niche.
The size is 16x16 inch but my class will be working with a smaller area of 12x12

MADJAK update

MADJAK Designs has updated "Burning Rubber" and has restocked all plates and has just released 3 super yummy embossing powders...and how do I know all this? Because I am the owner and designer :)

colour

I am a blue lover, I love every shade and tint of it....but isn't this colour just...yes I have to say it....DEVINE!!!!!

...can you see just a hint of blue?

Texture tute

I have made a texture tute for youtube that will be uploaded later tonight, these little pieces are the final product...I thought I'd put them here because my web cam images look a bit off and the colour is not right, so out came the FujiPix S5700 digital camera :)

Resist...if you can

I love this technique, I have run a few classes using it in different ways...from triptych housie books to altered shoe inserts, it is truly divine (do I use that word too much?...nah), I have made a mini tute for youtube...no it's not up yet, I am waiting for kids to go to bed so I can do the voice overs.

Mini demo tute on youtube

I have just uploaded my second tutorial, it is a basic look and play with fusible film, crystalina and angelina fibers....so get your irons out people....this is for those who like clean hands....you won't be so lucky next time...think texture!!!

MADJAK Embossing powder

I am sooooo besotted with this colour I have created for MADJAK Designs, it is just one of four ideas, I am just awaiting packaging solutions and I have to come up with a name for it...that is no easy task...it is marbled and quite vintage looking and is divine on both dark and light cardstock....and it is super fine detail!!!

Fimo fun

I have joined another Yahoo group and the first swap I signed up for was housie charms...made from polymer clay...now I have never used it, so I hope they are ok for my efforts....the first set were terrible, so I tried again and had fun.
They are about an inch tall, and half an inch wide, I had stamped into them and then gently rubbed Pearl Ex over them, then pressed beads and a little angel face before baking to set....I took the photos in poor light, so you can't see how lovely the colour really is, it is a turquoise tone over red clay, on the back I used some gold leaf.
