Yes, it's incredibly hard work, yes, we were all pretty much exhausted but we wouldn't have it any other way as it is truly a privilege to be part of this fantastic show with some of the nicest and hard working people that I know. Mark, Leandra and Lauren have been working pretty much non stop for the last few weeks in preparation for this show. There is always so much to do, pressing rubber, bottling Fresco Finish paint as well as Infusions, ordering extra stock, preparing the make'n'takes, booking hotel rooms and the list goes on!!!!! On top of all this the very lovely (also very funny) Lauren was feeling decidedly under the weather but carried on regardless....what a trooper. Then of course there's the gorgeous Florence who helped out with translating, helping customers choose the right products and making sure the stand stayed well stocked......a never ending job!!!! Dounia, who's official new title is "Queen of Make'n'takes" because she is totally awesome at keeping everyone on track with their projects. The amazing Audrey is fantastic at getting everyone's purchases through the till at the speed of light alongside Mark who not only mans till No.2 but keeps an eye on everything. Leandra and I demoed our socks off and the lovely Lauren and Florence also did some demoing too when we were at lunch. And last but not least, my good pal and room mate Sally who is like my right arm as she translate for me A LOT!!!!</span><br />

Having said all of this, we do however has some wonderful evenings.....good food......a few drinks and lots of laughs. We found a fantastic little restaurant and I'd like to share their details with you in case you are ever in Paris, I would highly recommend you eat there as not only was the food amazing, the staff were beyond lovely and the atmosphere was everything we had hoped for. The only downside is that you need to book in advance as it is a very popular restaurant.</div>

I'm not very good at keeping secrets but I've been sitting on this one for months now, so you can imagine how thrilled I am to finally be able to share this with you. I have four new sets of stamps and three new stencils. The stencils are larger than my previous<br />
ones (6.25" x 9.5"), so not only will they be great for Scrapbooking and card making, they will be ideal for those of you who like to work in large format journals.<br />
<br />
First of all let's take a quick looksee at the new products.<br />

We're going to take a sneaky peek at the work of my super talented wingmen, who very kindly agreed to make some samples to help showcase how versatile these new products are, but before I share their beautiful artwork with you, I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank both of these amazing ladies, you were both an absolute pleasure to work with and your artwork is fantastic, so thank you both so much, I hope you enjoyed the experience as much as I have.</div>

Over the winter months, I like to have a larger project to work on. Something that I can pick up during an evening to add stitch and embellishment to. I am very lucky to have a fabulous studio in my garden, complete with good heating but during the dark winter evenings, I actually prefer to park myself on the sofa and do a spot of sewing. With this in mind, around October time, I started to prepare some fabric pages for what I thought would be a new fabric book. I gathered bits of lace, ribbon and buttons along with fabrics that I had stencilled designs on, along with a pile of rusty fabric. Apart from the rusting of fabric, many of the other techniques are techniques taught to me by some very talented artists....<a href="http://hilarybeattie.blogspot.co.uk/">Hilary Beattie</a>, <a href="http://www.purplemissus.com/">Lynda Monk</a> and <a href="http://www.beryltaylor.com/">Beryl Taylor</a> so out of respect for those very lovely ladies, I'm not going to share how I made each page, I'd simply like to share the photos with you.</div>

As I mentioned earlier, I started this project with the intention of making it into a book but Mark planted the seed of another idea in my brain by saying "if it's a book, not many people will see it!" Now I'm trying to decide whether to:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
a. stitch them all together to make an art quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
b. Stitch them on to a larger piece of calico, leaving a border between each piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
c. Frame them all individually and hang them as a series of nine small artworks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 1. Using a flat, wide paint brush, I blended together Mermaid and Granny Smith Fresco Finish Paint.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEM9Xv-0J35ghEH-OmtU_JZstr76BlpD4yl4G4_f7mX3__BBqivWe5MRWAxH1S-WhhGjOVKnFGhvK5AbDV0SqLDAtN2wWx_N8DJVdgM_6HW5GvRGwW29E7yMLc7BLiXOG5DQ4mYdet09o/s1600/IMG_1137%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEM9Xv-0J35ghEH-OmtU_JZstr76BlpD4yl4G4_f7mX3__BBqivWe5MRWAxH1S-WhhGjOVKnFGhvK5AbDV0SqLDAtN2wWx_N8DJVdgM_6HW5GvRGwW29E7yMLc7BLiXOG5DQ4mYdet09o/s320/IMG_1137%255B1%255D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 2. Snowflake Fresco through the "Brickwork Factory" stencil created the perfect first layer on my coloured background.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUOxXQCthdIKSFn7udV0W5ea9KSgBBPtyBxg4mxAAO-_8AS5p6FhSPVFrX__aiWRiB8ga9r3MyZD5nA7BzoLGLSAh54BQC0JVAQX8H3uljZd-r1XpJxg9zApw-aR787c0xT1E-DXeeOzE/s1600/IMG_1138%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUOxXQCthdIKSFn7udV0W5ea9KSgBBPtyBxg4mxAAO-_8AS5p6FhSPVFrX__aiWRiB8ga9r3MyZD5nA7BzoLGLSAh54BQC0JVAQX8H3uljZd-r1XpJxg9zApw-aR787c0xT1E-DXeeOzE/s320/IMG_1138%255B1%255D.JPG" width="316" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 3. Once the Snowflake paint was dry, I used a baby wipe to apply a layer of Hey Pesto Fresco over the green areas of the canvas. This is a translucent colour and also my all time favourite Fresco!!!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO4jZPYFvhjT7IFQ1AgdYGslCAmVCpgsfbnzw8nVwyaOzK0cmAPRsyoJsGEE-oJ5PcdJQTE66CmCYpKpnR2JzDAKRS1NgcNEeip5PsvBm87aoGqdpofRYIR6HNAaPBO239a0I96iWn3Oo/s1600/IMG_1139%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO4jZPYFvhjT7IFQ1AgdYGslCAmVCpgsfbnzw8nVwyaOzK0cmAPRsyoJsGEE-oJ5PcdJQTE66CmCYpKpnR2JzDAKRS1NgcNEeip5PsvBm87aoGqdpofRYIR6HNAaPBO239a0I96iWn3Oo/s320/IMG_1139%255B1%255D.JPG" width="288" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 4. I repeated this technique with Beach Hut over the blue areas.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIu0UEfDpADKfJp5WkK7jSnKS_n7kHKypEFGEbHJ2SKNjeI9UXdcgMBJ8rnjwFxcVCaAdxxyIKjGDMucyLYIpYaEaG_PmWyPpemMQM-es3CUS8GZEB7PB7P2bo15WYiRRLBp26JL-LvoQ/s1600/IMG_1140%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIu0UEfDpADKfJp5WkK7jSnKS_n7kHKypEFGEbHJ2SKNjeI9UXdcgMBJ8rnjwFxcVCaAdxxyIKjGDMucyLYIpYaEaG_PmWyPpemMQM-es3CUS8GZEB7PB7P2bo15WYiRRLBp26JL-LvoQ/s320/IMG_1140%255B1%255D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 5. More Snowflake, this time through the Rembrandt's Words stencil. My intention was to fill a few of the gaps. I also tinted this with Hey Pesto and Beach Hut.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoT5JTuUQ7c6kN3vUF0s5z8-uM7CbvGXSioBHYHO7u1OO7iDRAd3UTl0pZkzAboxoRng7AbH8z1QbaezlPQxgngKkrifh5oCNOaAmmth4w6m_vWrPyLZrIWzWE3uA0DMyU-2COzdnGv6s/s1600/IMG_1141%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoT5JTuUQ7c6kN3vUF0s5z8-uM7CbvGXSioBHYHO7u1OO7iDRAd3UTl0pZkzAboxoRng7AbH8z1QbaezlPQxgngKkrifh5oCNOaAmmth4w6m_vWrPyLZrIWzWE3uA0DMyU-2COzdnGv6s/s320/IMG_1141%255B1%255D.JPG" width="314" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 6. Next up....Orange Blossom Archival ink to stamp the circle of dots from ELB29.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSrEjqEFJPhCtAQERTxgbqohCHshgMR7usf88D1lTi7I4AVe-JJV6QJiD1qQnO-3Z-PQ9R-1sTMR-rJ6tRW3dtG_Ey-vyvu0IGsF8AT0n5blm7VG7rjVQpx9_s4EZrg99pRvWX1xFmys/s1600/IMG_1142%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSrEjqEFJPhCtAQERTxgbqohCHshgMR7usf88D1lTi7I4AVe-JJV6QJiD1qQnO-3Z-PQ9R-1sTMR-rJ6tRW3dtG_Ey-vyvu0IGsF8AT0n5blm7VG7rjVQpx9_s4EZrg99pRvWX1xFmys/s320/IMG_1142%255B1%255D.JPG" width="316" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 7. You can never use too much Snowflake in my opinion when creating layers. This time, I used the biggest stencil, Verdant Moon. I turned it on it's side so that it looked like a sunrise or sunset peeking over the top of a brick wall.</div>

Step 8. Using a small paint brush and South Pacific Fresco, I created a shadow around the edge of the moon to soften the huge, stark expanse of white.</div>

Step 9. I replaced the stencil to apply a layer of Gold Fresco on the brickwork. I like to apply the Gold over the Snowflake, it gives it a bit of extra pop. If I had applied the Gold over the blue and green background, several layers would be needed to achieve the same effect.</div>

Step 10. With some scrap paper in place to protect my Gold brickwork, I applied Caribbean Sea Fresco to my grasses stamp with a small piece of Cut'N'Dry foam and blended a small amount of South Pacific around the edges of the stamp before printing on the canvas.</div>

At this point, I wasn't sure if the piece looked finished. I was pleased with how it was looking but felt that it needed some kind of embellishment.</div>

I've actually had a couple of emails from loyal followers asking me if I'm OK as it's been so long since I posted anything on my blog. I was so touched to think that you were worried about about me and I can assure you that I am fine, but thank you so much for caring.<br />
<br />
I have two main reasons for my absence, one of which is that it's that time of year again when I am working on secret squirrel stuff, so there's a lot going on behind the scenes which I am sworn to secrecy about. The second reason was that Mark and I took a fabulous holiday on the beautiful island of Mauritius. We were both very ready for a break and longed for some sunshine to recharged our batteries and Mauritius certainly ticked all our boxes.<br />

I have spent a little bit of time over the last few weeks be creative. I signed up for the best on line class I have ever taken, with the super talented <a href="http://www.lalymille.com/">Laly Mille</a>. I have admired her work for quite some time and when she announced she was going to be offering an on line class, I was first in the queue to sign up. Laly is one of the best teachers I know and am thoroughly enjoyed her style and laid back approach. I know that the class is sold out, but I can highly recommend a visit to her website and sign up for any newsletters so that you get to hear about any future class plans she might have up her sleeve.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'm not going to share the details of how these canvases were made, that wouldn't be fair to Laly or the other students who paid for the class, but I wanted to share them with you as they were created using photos from our trip to Mauritius.</div>

Today I thought I would share a few recent journal pages with you using my latest stamp releases from <a href="http://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/">PaperArtsy</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The background is a collage of papers, blended into the background with some thick gesso. I added some <a href="http://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/infusions-347-c.asp">Infusions</a> and blended in some <a href="http://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/crayons-325-c.asp">Distress Crayons</a> too.</div>

The next pages uses similar techniques but I restricted the colours to white, teal/turquoise and sepia. As well as my own new stamps, I used some of the fabulous new <a href="http://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/eclectica-seth-apter-377-c.asp">stamps by Seth Apter.</a> I just love how his stamps works so beautifully with mine.</div>

My third and final page is one that I created quite a while ago but I realised that I hadn't shared it here on my blog.

My favourite stamp of the moment is this beautiful grassy stamp which creates the focal point of my collage. With the addition of a few stars and the "Dream" stamp (all from (ELB30), it completes my simple collage. I then used some water colours for the finishing touches to the grass, stars and border. </div>

The pages were painted with a light layer of Gesso and while it was still wet, I sprinkled on some of PaperArtsy's Infusions. I then spritzed with water ans watched the magic happen. I loved how the Infusions blended with the Gesso to give a more muted look.</div>

It's been quite a while since I had the opportunity to create a page in my journal and I have to say, I have really missed it. Don't get me wrong, I have been doing some arty work but that's all hush, hush, top secret stuff for the time being!!! I just wanted to grab some paint, a few favourite stamps and see what happens. This is the result.</div>

PaperArtsy's <a href="http://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/lynne-perrella-collection-a5-276-c.asp"> Lynne Perrella stamps</a> are some of my all time favourites. When I saw this pair of curtains in a magazine, I hoped that one of Lynne's images would fit behind them perfectly....... and it did!!! I used this image from <a href="http://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/lynne-perrella-collection-004-3247-p.asp">LPC004</a>.</div>

I normally use my blog as a way of keeping in touch with friends, family and loyal followers, usually sharing my crafty ideas. Sometimes I use it as a way of advertising my classes and sometimes I share holiday photos and family events. I have to admit that I don't post on my blog as often as I used to but that is simply because I have been doing other things and today I would like to share one of those things with you.<br />
<br />
My daughter Kelly has been supporting a local charity called <a href="https://www.supershoes.org.uk/">Supershoes</a> for a couple of years. Basically, she is the person behind their social media and has spent a lot of time working on their new website. She told me all about their fabulous work and I couldn't help but volunteer my services to help Sarah, the founder of Supershoes, behind the scenes in their very busy office.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Supershoes started
in Oct 2013 when Sarah read about Henry Allen - a little boy from Milton Keynes who had
neuroblastoma and he received the very 1st pair of Supershoes. Kelly helped Sarah to set up a Facebook page and it has snowballed from there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Supershoes became a registered charity in August 2015 and there are now over 130 artists, 10 volunteers and 4 trustees who all work on a voluntary basis to try and brighten the day of a child suffering from cancer. Supershoes has now produced over 850 pairs of hand painted shoes for 850 very poorly children. A pair of Supershoes will not change the fact that a child has cancer, but they will certainly brighten the day of a child who is undergoing treatment to try to beat this dreadful illness.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I spend every Tuesday in the office dealing with all the new referrals that come in via the hospitals around the country who are treating these very brave children. A few months ago, when I first started in the office, we were receiving 6-8 referrals a week. Now, each week, I see 20+ referrals and it breaks my heart to think that so many children are suffering. Each child has a different story to tell but they are all equally upsetting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It
costs around £50 to produce each pair of custom painted shoes. This covers the purchase of the shoes, paint and postage. Fund raising
comes from a variety of sources, it could be local businesses who kindly want to help support a local charity. Friends and families of some of the artists and volunteers organise fund raising events. Families of children who have previously received a pair of Supershoes know what a difference it can make to a child and have funded shoes for other children. Some of those parents fund shoes in memory of their child who sadly didn't survive.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I said before, I don't normally use my blog for anything other than my own personal posts but today I would love it, if you would take a moment out of your busy day to click <a href="https://www.supershoes.org.uk/">here</a> and take a look at the Supershoes website. Please tell your friends and family too, raising awareness is crucial and if you feel you could spare a few £££'s to bring a smile to the face of a very poorly child, there is a donate button on the website.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sadly, not every child survives and for the families of those who do not make it, these shoes become a very special and cherished memento. I'll leave you with a few photos of some of the amazing shoes painted by some super artists who generously give up their time, to brighten a child's day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks for reading to the very end.</div>

Sally, the owner of <a href="http://www.threadsandpatches.co.uk/">Threads and Patches</a> is taking part in this event for the first time this year and invited me to display some of my work as part of their exhibit in order to promote my classes. I've never taken part in anything like this before and I have to admit to being a tad nervous but excited too.<br />
<br />
The Threads and Patches exhibition will comprise of work by Sally, Julie and Bonnie as well as samples of my work. The days that our little exhibition will be open are listed below along with details of when myself and the other ladies will be demonstrating. My demos will be based on printing fabric on my Gelli Plate so if you would see how I use my Gelli Plates, pop along and say hello, we would love to see you.<br />
<br />

Next up is the work of Alex, daughter of Halina. It was a bit of a Mother/Daughter day which is always lovely to see. I loved Alex's choice of colours, she chose pink and grey as her main colour combo and it really came to life with the addition of copper Traesure Gold. Good luck with all your exams Alex.</div>

This sample belongs to a lady called Karen who came to class by default really. Her lovely friend who had booked the class has been really quite poorly of late and invited her friend to take her place. Karen is very new to inky/painty crafting, she is more of a patchwork/fabric girl but you would never know that she was a beginner would you?</div>

And last but not least was a sample by Kerry. She stepped out of her comfort zone and made a beautiful sample in shades of blue that she wouldn't normally use, but unfortunately, I fear I may have deleted the photo of your sample Kerry. I am so, so sorry but if you read this, perhaps you would be kind enough to send a photo to me please.</div>

I've been having a bit of a dabble with Powertex again. This piece is destined for our newly decorated living room. As yet, I am undecided as to whether it should be a wall mounted piece of if I should mount it on a stand so that it can be displayed on a shelf.</div>

We've been spending some time in the garden too. I can't wait for this little beauty to open fully, it's going to be huge. I bought some bulbs early in the year and being very new to this gardening malarkey, I really have no clue what I'm doing but I am enjoying the results. I think this is a type of Agapanthus but because I can't find the packaging, I'm not entirely sure. Maybe one of you lovely gardening/flower loving people would leave me a comment to tell me what it is.....I'd love to know for sure as I'd like to get some more for next year.</div>

New class details are finally ready and waiting for you lovely people to book. There is a real mix of classes for this release....some inky/painty ones, a couple of Powertex ones and something for those of you who love the idea of working with textiles. Some of the classes are single days but there are a couple that spread over a whole weekend. I did just want to point out that the two Powertex classes are booked as single days but if you wanted to make it a Powertex weekend, they are on consecutive days so you could book both!!!!! Simply click<a href="http://www.lbcrafts.com/"> here</a> to hop on over for all the dates and details.<br />

I've been busy with all sorts of things of late and have really missed having a play just for me, so I spent a couple of happy hours yesterday afternoon playing in my journal. My poor blog has also been badly neglected so I took step by step photos so I could type up a little tutorial for you guys.</div>

I started by painting some <a href="http://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/fresco-finish---matte-glaze-4146-p.asp">Matt Glaze</a> over the pages and sprinkling on some Infusions. I used "A Bit Jaded" and "Golden Sands"....these are my two favourite colours and blended using a wide paintbrush.</div>

This is a technique that I demoed at Stevenage which I really like and have used a lot. I painted some more Matt Glaze over an area of the Jaded Infusions and sprinkled on some Golden Sands and blended with my paintbrush. While it was still wet, I used a baby wipe to remove some of the colour through a stencil <a href="http://shop.paperartsy.co.uk/paperartsy-stencil-005-lin-brown-4688-p.asp">(PS005)</a>, to reveal the colour underneath.</div>

A month or so ago, I was a lucky girl and took part in the official Powetex training course. Oh my word that was a fun couple of days. I am happy to announce that I am now a certified Powertex tutor and have been frantically making samples for future classes. I'll post more about that when all the class details are ironed out.<br />
<br />
I have also been trying trying to pull together a selection of my work for an opportunity to take part in <a href="http://www.bucksopenstudios.org.uk/">Bucks Open Studios</a> this year which runs from the 11th - 26th June 2016. The exhibition will take place at <a href="http://www.threadsandpatches.co.uk/">Threads and Patches</a> along with the work of three other very talented artists. There will be a rota of demonstrations which I will publish here nearer the time. My little exhibition space will consist of a variety of work.....Gelli Plate/textile pieces, some Powertex samples, work created with my PaperArtsy stamps, stencils and Fresco Finish paint along with some journals and metalwork.<br />
