And now for something completely different.......

No, I've not been watching too much Monty Python, I've been on another of the lovely Jo Capper-Sandon's workshops. Look what I made......... my first proper piece of mixed media art :D


I thought I was completely done, until I came home and had a good long look it at and decided that I need to do a couple more things to it to finish. That said I'm actually pretty pleased with the way this turned out and you'll definately be more seeing pieces like this on my blog!!! Obviously I can't give too much away as I'd be putting poor Jo out of a job, but she came up with a really neat idea which allows me to get more mileage out of a single piece of work, so expect to see this image used in a couple of projects that I have up my sleeve. I'm really regretting not taking a picture of the other ladies work to show you as well as each and every one of us produced something completely different. If you're interested in attending one of Jo's workshops or even taking a sneaky peek at some the creations that have been produced check out the blog here.

Oh and Essex Girl if you're reading this you missed a corker of a workshop and the opportunity to shop (think PaperArtsy, Stampendous etc....... mmmmm)!!!

Thanks for looking

  17. Claire...your first mixed art media piece is so sweet. You did a wonderful job on it! The washed color over the top of your background looks wonderful! I love your sweet little birds, the faux stitching and your words peeking out from underneath the washing. Great stamping in the background! Great job! Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
