Artist Trading Coins

Been busy making some of the latest thing that seems to appear on craft social media ‘Artist Trading Coins’

Had real fun layering up all the mixed media elements to make mine.

Entering them into the That’s Crafty and More Mixed media challenge.

Upcycled Heart

Upcycled an old box from some body shop goodies I was given at Christmas.

Journals

Been making some journals using Gelli prints inspired by Birgit Koopsen 31 days of Gelli prints challenge. As you can see I made lots out of my prints and they will make some nice craft gifts.

These mini journals which are just 7cm by 5 cm were inspired by a YouTube video by Teresa Morgan went slightly off piste and have used them for my 2018 gratitudes rather than just jotting them down on scraps and dropping them into a box. Will need to make more of these.

Cats and Dogs

Well a cat and a dog to be precise!

My latest journal pages. 

My little cat is in a Gelli print journal I have been making. 

The dog was painted into a ledger journal.

Snowy Day Cardmaking

On this snowy Sunday nothing else to do but craft so made these Christmas cards using a PaperArtsy Hot Picks stamp, plus a mixed media background using Fresco paints, ink, stencils and some stamping.
