I had absolutely no intention of making this panel. Unlike so many other things, the idea for it had not been lurking in the back of my mind for months. This panel only exists because I had a bit of a rearrange in my craft room. It was more of a shuffling than a full-on… Continue reading Seascape doubled
Earlier this year I did a Craft Box workshop (now Creative Craft Academy) and made the Wings of Time mixed media panel.

I am very much still at the stage of experimenting and am happy… Continue reading Spring flowers panel
