Crafters’ corner 2020

Thanks @luciusmaximus I really enjoyed doing the trolley table thingy. I've got the perspex now and it looks great. I originally made it so we had an extra table for Snacks and drinks over xmas - but now we are just on our own we don't actually need it after all that. ha ha - however, I will use it anyway!

That's so thoughtful of you @Jenny namaste - it's really creative too.

Today I actually had some time to do some crafting as the housework is now all done. I made Dotty a new cushion (she doesn't look that impressed ha ha, but she hasnt been feeling very well again) and made my scissors a little pouch out of scrap material. I'm not great at sewing at all - but I am improving very slightly each time I do something lol.

 

I love the fabrics you used @Snorky85. Particularly the whimsical Llama on the cushion. Where did you find that?

 

Thanks Lori, I bought it a while ago in a lovely little fabric shop back home in Lincoln.

The Fabric Quarter

They have so many nice fabrics there. It's only a little shop but has loads! Xx

 

Love your pieces snorky, Dotty is such a beauty . I hope she is feeling better asap.

 

I've checked out some of the art pieces which Mike's granddaughter has created they really are beautiful and all originals..!!

As Mike says Chloee is very creative not only that must have lloads of patience too .

 

Thank you. Yes she has gained such a following on websites

 

The cushions is fab , how can Dotty be unimpressed . Love the little scissors pocket too. Well done.

 

I set up my electric propagater yesterday morning and made some purple geode style coasters. Also, the sand coloured paint I ordered arrived, so planning on doing a bit more to the seascape I am painting for the bedroom today.

 

Ooh sounds good @luciusmaximus Im assuming you know a fair bit about resin etc...I made a clear resin copy of my gt gt uncles "death penny" but really i want a bronzy coloured resin. What should I add to the resin to colour it? Is there anything!?

 

@Milke Allen

Chloee's work is stunning. She will go a long way. Is she one of the beauties?

 

Thank you all so much. I am so proud of Chloee. Obviously I might be a bit predudiced, but I I know the family history etc, and Chloee has broken many barriers. I was unaware of her website and her followings. Her photography really is fantastic. She is entering her final year at uni. In all fairness, not just because of the covid pandemic, but IMHO, the uni course has been far from the best value for money. Thankfully she has stuck it out and continues to enjoy her crafts. It now transpires that several satisfied customers have ask that she will post to other countries. So what grandpa wouldn't love her so much and do all he can to help her. Thanks friends for your supportive comments.

 

I cant find the website for mike's grandaughter? Would love to have a look

 

Just finished revamping the chiminea thingy that I snaffled from someones drive (it was left out for scrap/rag n bone man).

Brushed off the rust, derust treatment, matt black stove spray paint. Some of the metal mesh is all broken but doesnt really matter....might replace it. But will be good for a burn up of the xmas tree tomorrow night

 

That looks great @Snorky85
