Matchbox Crafting



Enjoy a day crafting with my pal Louise yesterday. It was great fun! We decided to have a go at altering a matchbox and here is what I made.



I used some Ellen Vargo stamps to create some background papers and even used some silver leaf to add a shimmer. In the end I got out my sewing machine to make the padded silver heart and created a border around my matchbox cover.


I am going to share my project over at Moo Mania and More with their theme 'metal'.

Radiant Faces

I stumbled upon this new online workshop when I spotted a post on Facebook. I had promised myself not to sign up to any courses as I have been disappointed in the past and not followed things through. But I couldn't resist with a title like "Radiant Faces" and even after only one post I feel happy it was worth the money. Jane Davenport provided the first class, what a wonderful artist she is! Here are my sketch work warm ups using Rossetti's Lady Lilith as inspiration:




Something totally different for me but it is lovely to try something new and add an extra string to my bow.
