These earrings are all finally ready to be put out in the shop (the shop is in The Tally Ho Tearooms in Mettingham, near Bungay in Suffolk, UK).
I have sold some of these online from people messaging and emailing me when they have seen the photos on Facebook etc. They are £9.95 plus £2 capped postage and packing, which means that if you buy 2 or more or pairs of earrings it’s still only £2 for the postage. That’s in the UK obviously a little more for overseas shipping.
So I’m back in the swing of ‘crafty’ things, after a year of Painting on Canvas and wood, I am back hand making earrings, collages, cards and making mini books and even started an Art Journal! The last one is definitely going to be experimentation journal!
So what do I have for you…? Well how about the latest collection of earrings in progress…! Large, medium and teeny…. these are paintings made into ‘wearable art’.
I’ll keep you posted as to when these will be ready for sale. And other items will be on their way very shortly.
Hello everybody!
Just a quickie to say that I have been back to ‘tidy-up’ this site a little (ie remove broken links etc).
The information here is still totally relevant to paper crafters and I know a number of people still find my videos on here and my YouTube Channel and comment that they have found them helpful, which is why I have left this site running, even though I haven’t had the time to add to it for a while.
I am now a full time artist (painter) but I am still available if you need to ask a question or just want to say Hello!
Happy Crafting Everyone!!
He is a new video I’ve uploaded to show some simple scrapbook layouts where I have used mesh as a background and a stencil, and although it’s not shown here, you can obviously use the coloured mesh (after using it as a stencil) for another scrapbook page, talk about ‘get your money’s worth’!
I have been blog-hopping recently… actually it’s more accurate to say that I have been rather addictively browsing Pin-Interest! Good Grief there is soooooooooo much stuff on there, and most of it is fabulous! That’s the crafting, sewing, storage side of things… oh and the vintage tea themes too!
Anyway, via that, I came across this website and found a very colourful mini art journal. I immediately thought I would share it with you.
I made this very simple scrapbook page using some freebie paper and journal blocks (that came in a magazine) and home made arrows! The inspiration was one of the books Honey was reading at the time which was one of the ‘Tom Gates’ books which is written in half type set and half doodling on every page.
As you can probably tell…. it didn’t take me long, and it’s not my usual style by any means, but it was quite liberating to just throw something together, especially as I don’t particularly like the papers! But I think it works ok!
Hello all, it’s been a snowy January here in the UK, even over in my ‘bulge’ in the east… East Anglia!
This layout I share today is from the Summer 2012… fed up with the cold weather! Our little dog Rosie, who will be 2 years old in April -can you believe it?, has a little habit of sitting up like a Meerkat… I think I will video her and send it off to ‘You’ve Been Framed’… for everyone to appreciate how cute and funny it is!
I already have some video of her, but I think I shall take a clearer piece of video… then hopefully it will be shown and she can pay for her own ‘Op’… yeah you know the one I mean!! lol
I recoloured an ordinary doyley here (below) to match in the colours, but there really isn’t too much to this page.
Here’s the first of four videos showing the paper bag albums I made for relatives for Christmas. These are videos made from stills which I talk about. I didn’t have time to film real time videos, as I was ‘up against it’ to get them finished and wrapped!!! Video at the botton of this post.
This is a close up of a hybrid page I made .
It’s to show the word “Deep”. As you will notice, it is shiny!
I thought that in the printed copy of the digital page the black words did not have enough contrast so I used some 3-D Gloss over the top to just lift the letters and give more definition.
I used a thick needle to “paint” the gloss onto the thin image.
It’s a quick and easy way to Darken any printed graphic or text.
Here’s the full page which was the first in my Random Album.

This is the time of year that people start to scrapbook the past year. There are many ways to do this, and a lot of them include lots of photos.
What if don’t have that many photographs available? Then how about making a list… but not any old list… try a Celebratory List!
Write down a list of all the things you achieved last year. No matter how big or how small, if they mean any thing to you then it’s worth listing.
You title could be anything from ‘5 Things I achieved in 2012″ to “100 Things I achieved in 2012”!
Or “10 Things I have to be Thankful for in 2012”
Celebrate the Good things that happened in Your Life and don’t mention any not so good things… as you don’t want any more of those do you?!
Here are some ideas for recording the past year…
Try using this phrase in a search engine… “scrapbooking year in review” for some inspiration.
