Christmas Wreath

Are you starting to think about Christmas yet? How would you like a beautiful and reusable Wreath this year? 

Last year I made a wreath from festive paper and would like to make more for this Christmas. If you would like me to make one for you please get in touch! I can do any colour and size you'd like. Prices will be from around £16.

Paper Flowers Lamp Shade

Using my music paper flowers (see earlier post) I decorated a cheap paper lamp shade for my hallway. I cut out different sizes and shapes of flowers from various papers and glued them together, with some beads and sequins to make a pretty and varied effect!

 

Cutout Books framed artwork

This week I have been busy making a framed piece of work for my colleague and friend Stu for a wedding gift to him and his wife Jo. They both love books so I thought I'd make them a book themed artwork along the same lines as my Butterfly wall art.

I used thick cartridge paper and cut out 9 shapes of opened out books, then I made thin paper pages and glued them behind the cartridge paper books. Next I selected some vintage music sheets with text on them to use as the background. The whole thing was then framed in a deep box frame.

If you'd like me to create a similar piece of wall art for you then please do not hesitate to contact me!

 

Music Paper Flowers

I decided to make some little and large paper flowers for card making and maybe other collagey projects. I used some music sheets I had bought, and some other translucent and cartridge paper, beads and sequins. Watch this space to see what I use them on!

Model L

I made this model letter L for my good friend Laura's birthday. It was made of strong cardboard glued together with a glue gun (trying not to burn myself!) once it was dry I covered it in Sanderson "Dandelion" gift wrap. Ta da!
If you'd like me to make a custom letter for you please get in contact with me :)

Bunting Jewellery

A few weeks ago I posted up a few pictures of my shrink plastic jewellery, well here is a small selection, on the theme of bunting. These ones are striped with dots, but I have other designs in mind for the future! The necklaces are available for £10 and the Earrings are £4 per pair. I'll be putting them on my folksy shop soon!

Shrink plastic mini flowers

These tiny flowers are made from shrink plastic, both clear and white coloured. I cut them out using various flower punches, and coloured either the back or the front with watercolour pencils or coloured permanent pen. The flowers start out about 15mm big and when heated with a heat gun shrink to about 6mm and the coloured pencil or pen shrinks down too making the colour more vibrant!
I'm pleased with the effect, however the process can be a bit fiddly!
