What Have I Been Up To....

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the short hiatus but I have been busy doing this and that, trips here and there....

So I wanted to let you all know that I have sold one of my submitted art pieces to the Below 65 Gallery Winter Art Fair.

 Can you see the red SOLD note :) made me soooooo happy!!!!!!!

I've been trying to regularly add new products to my shop's website, what do you think?

 Freeform Crochet Cuff - Inspired by Tudor fashions.

 Upcycled Yarn Coasters -

can be hand dyed by the customer to perfectly match their home deco.

 You can now personalise your Mug Cozies -

click on the picture to view the listing

and benefit from the lower Christmas pricing option.

 Added a new colour combo Jersey Yarn Wrist Cuff.

I recently went beach combing and found some great shells, driftwood pieces and seaglass fragments, this led to me altering my listed Fiber Art piece.

Its relisted here.

Well I have to go now, so bye for now.

My First Art Exhibition Experience

Hi Everyone,

Today I went to the Below 65 Gallery to see my pieces that I submitted to their Winter Art Fair event.

At the gallery I saw many unique and beautifully created works of art. I particularly liked the large wooden mosaic submissions, an acrylic or oil piece which had hidden painted animals within its finished painting, and an acrylic painting of a barn owl in flight.

 

Seeing my pieces on display was exciting and I felt very proud of myself. this was my first time exhibiting anywhere and I hope there will be many more opportunities like this in the future.

 

Duh! I Totally Forgot To Tell You.....

Hi Everybody,

Did I tell you guys I'm on Pinterest...... yeah well I'm just a teeny bit obsessed. You can follow me for regular updates of new listings to my shop's website and you can get a further insight into what I am about but checking out my other boards, hope to see you there, byeeeee!

Upcycled Yarn Creation

Hi Everyone,

One of the things I've been busy doing while away from blogland was attending regular arts and craft classes which allowed me to try many different crafts. In a future post I will share some of the craft projects I did with you.

Last week we revisited upcycling and worked with old t-shirts this time. I decided to create jersey yarn. Here are the steps I took to create my jersey yarn:

I was surprised by how much yarn I got from two half of t-shirts, 35'15" from the orange, yellow and pink combo and I got 38'10" from the green, blue and black combo. 

I couldn't wait to create something with my new upcycled jersey yarn, you can see what I have created here.
