Seascape doubled

November 13, 2018August 30, 2020 Sarah

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

Believe

September 10, 2018September 5, 2018 Sarah

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. Well, I've recently completed the Just Begin workshop by Shawn… Continue reading Believe

Wings of Time panel

May 17, 2018February 9, 2022 Sarah

You can learn a lot from just watching YouTube videos, but sometimes it’s handy to actually walk through the techniques with the same supplies, just to get a feel for how what you’re seeing translates into actually doing. So I picked up this workshop kit to have a play. I am really bad (or good… Continue reading Wings of Time panel

Follow your dreams

May 10, 2018February 9, 2022 Sarah

Another "throwback Thursday" post for another panel that I made and photographed last year (hence the 2017 watermark that I cannot be bothered to redo: I don't need any more excuses to not get around to blogging this creation). This panel was made in response to a challenge to use a clipboard in a mixed… Continue reading Follow your dreams

Peacock panel

May 3, 2018February 9, 2022 Sarah

This is a bit of a "throwback Thursday" post. I made this panel, photographed it and even processed the photos when I made it last year; the one thing I didn't do then was write up the blog post... This was only the second mixed media panel I had created. After the darker feel of… Continue reading Peacock panel

Spring flowers panel

April 2, 2018February 9, 2022 Sarah

I am definitely enjoying playing around with mixed media projects — I've spent most of my crafty time in March getting my hands covered in glue and paint (apart from those odd occasions when I actually remembered to put on disposable gloves). I am very much still at the stage of experimenting and am happy… Continue reading Spring flowers panel

Creepy tree panel

October 24, 2017February 9, 2022 Sarah

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

Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in London, UK with my very techy other half. When I’ve got the energy, my days are spent getting crafty and trying to remember to blog about it.
