A new beginning for craft

 

2013 see’s me making a lot of bold decisions in taking my craft forward, seeing my confidence grow with my artwork and, enjoying the time with my family now that i am a grandmother of a beautiful baby boy,  Joseph Morgan.

I have done a complete 180 degree, and now my Holly is growing up and becoming a beautiful little girl, she has inspired me to do all the things I ever dreamed of doing. I have recently signed up as a demo for Stampin’ up, if you haven't heard of them they are an international craft company bringing to you the finest craft items ever and I am a massive fan and have been for a number of years, I have took the plunge and will be motivating other people to try out this fantastic hobby with me and my Stampin’ up colleagues.

So as a rule, I will be posting at least one craft, and one Fine art post a day, or every other day, i don't want to burn out now do I, and I hope you can enjoy this fantastic journey with me.

This is a ceramic jug,that has gone in for glazing it is a coiled jug, and its purpose is to be filled with celebratory scrumpy cider, believe you me it is bigger that the picture does it justice, I have given it a very authentic dark brown glaze to finish and it has pear cross sections engraved down the back and the handle, its shape has been designed so that it can be poured without having to lift(bonus if you have had too many) as it is quite heavy.

So here’s to all you devoted crafters out there, and to all you budding artists, I salute you.

thanks for stopping by Cheers x

Happy Birthday

I would like to say a big Happy birthday to Paul's mam i will not disclose her age, but she has treated me like her own since i met her i don't know whether it was because i was taking her son off her hands or what but, i adore her too, and i made this card for her birthday on the 9th of May Happy birthday mum, oh and i can publish this now as she does not surf the internet. lol.

 

Picture perfect

 

I am really pleased with what i produced yesterday, i had a bit of a block and could not find my mojo, so i figured if i started from back to front, it may help at least then i don't have to worry about what image am i going to use, i chose my card stock Basic grey SU,  then i chose my DS papers, and layered them up, then i chose my ribbon and it had to be early espresso SU,  i just love it its so gorgeous, then last came my image and sentiment, and i could not bear to waster my papers so i used leftovers for embellishments, flowers punched out with boho blossoms punch SU.

 

And here’s a close up of the ribbon detail, a tutorial that i found on you tube, its great for  if you get stuck with a technique just search for it, and have a go.
