My crafty weekend just past was wonderful. The lovely Sharon at Rowantree Crafts organised a Mixed Media Mayhem. We had Kate Crane and Mark Gould as the tutors. I saw my lovely friend Anne Redfern there and got to meet the very lovely Sue Davies my CVC teamie too!

We were all in the same class rotation so had Kate Crane on the first day ... we made a small art journal - mine is incomplete - a work in progress...
The cover is complete - the stamp is a Kate Crane one ... lots of colour and layering achieved by brayering, stencilling, stamping and doodling.
These are part of my two signatures inside the journal. They are incomplete and not yet fastened in - I hope to complete them gradually - maybe by following some of the Junk journal junkies prompts.
Inside one of the signatures I have done this page.
Mark Gould's project was completely different and is complete!
We used 7 gypsies papers and added them to boards and treated them in three different ways - crackle, just varnish and dirtying.
Here's part of a crackled panel.
Mark made all of the stars in resin - we treated them with paint and wax.
It really was a fabulous weekend! I look forward to next year!
Big hugs

ReplyDeleteOne of my cats used to bring in birds and let them go - not much fun having a bird flying around your kitchen pooing everywhere!

ReplyDeleteMy goodness Rachel looks like you had a terrific crafting weekend. Your artwork is fabulous colours and designs amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a cat flap for Teallach for this reason, I would freak out at critters being brought indoors, good luck with it, Kate x
