My Favourite 5 Projects for 2018
This has been a busy year for me, with a lot of my projects being
taught around Australia, many times I have a favourite or two, but it can be really
hard to choose as they are all my fav when I create them, until something
better comes along lol.
My first choice is a Dragon Journal, I taught in Tasmania first
they love dragons there lol.
I just loved the texture that is revealed with Art Alchemy waxes
he is so detailed and therefore stands out despite being small.
I have added lots of seed beads and rhinestones as dragon
treasure. I also love the lashing on the sides, it gives
the book so much character.
My next project is a special one to me as I hand made the
elf face with resin (made my own mold)
I love the fairie world as when I was a child
I was given a realistic fairie book that inspired me for years and still
does, this is an altered book about Spriggans.
I chose this one because it features one of my favourite color combos,
the contrast of clear teal and ruby red
It also includes the Vaseline technique to create the rustic
palings, and has a more shabby chic feel than I usually do. I have
taught this project many times and it is always popular.
Adding lots of shine baubles increases the sense of light and movement
I have created a gorgeous cluster with
I D chipboard as the base.
This project was for the Brisbane Scrapbooking Expo and it
was well received, it became my favourite of the 4 projects
I did, as it had a few different techniques included in it,
I just love the little sleeping baby, and
the wrinkled scrunched paper.
He sits in a little ID frame for his bed, snuggled
in muslin moss with wings unfurled.
My last project is The Mad Hatters Tea box, another
popular class, that I just may have to do again this year.
I love the Alice in wonderland books/movies and love using it
as a theme.
Again gorgeous I D chipboard creates a framework
for a nifty resin Mad Hatter, my favorite set of
colours again, teal and ruby red, along with the
striking addition of playing cards. This makes
a wonderful gift for someone, though I think
most of my students kept it for themselves lol.
Happy Crafting and
look forward to an inspirational 2019
