What a great week back in my studio 🙂  On Wednesday my weekly Art Clubs returned and it was so good to see most of my regular ladies and hear about their Summer breaks whilst painting wooden wine bottles…a fun 2 week project layering with translucent paints and embossing powders. Yesterday I held a Decorated […]

One glass or two…workshop photos
Am feeling guilty…..we painted fab wine bottles last night but I didn’t offer a glass of the real stuff!! We layered paints to reveal shadows, embossed to give our bottles a shiny top (just like the real thing lol), blended shadows and dry-brushed highlights, and made vintage french labels too, well done girls, you did […]

Vintage Bottle Workshop
Some workshops just run like a dream and this was one of them! Beautiful finished pieces, everyone really chuffed with what they had created and we finished on time too! I love working with ‘vintage’ projects as you can’t really go wrong and as the pressure is off, my students often ‘go for it’ and […]
Been playing……
I had the bottle I had upcycled in my studio but felt that it needed something more so decided to try out some crackling…after all, it is an upcycled bottle so why not! Â I also fancied painting one in a different colour before antiquing and I’m really pleased with the results. Getting paint to adhere […]
