Hi everyone I have been thinking for a while about running a 2-day workshop as I know some of you don’t live near enough to come for 1-day and with fuel/train costs and accommodation it could work out quite expensive. With this in mind I wanted to see what sort of 2-day workshop you would […]

Last night I finished my Turn the Page piece….I’m SO pleased with it 🙂 After class on Thursday I knew it was missing something so I played with different pictures, words etc and adding ‘Perfect’, a little clock and some string was all it needed. Happy Sunday… Dawn x

My mixed media tree :-)
For over a year I have wanted to do a large mixed media tree but have always had something else more pressing to create….I think it was more a case that I knew what I wanted it to look like but wasn’t sure how I would get there! A week ago I bought a large […]

You can’t beat an evening of being creative together whilst enjoying a few laughs 🙂 Once our design was finished, we inked it all in and then chose acrylic colours for our books and Inktense pencils to use […]
