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. After doing it, I said that I didn’t think I’d do another workshop because I found it frustrating simply making someone else's design.

Creepy tree panel
This wasn’t going to be a Halloween piece. This was originally going to be an autumnal scene. My starting point for this was a challenge to use half a bag of multicoloured sequins from the September Craft Box subscription. They’re not on here. They’ve been hand sewn onto a foam heart on a completely different… Continue reading Creepy tree panel
