The Holly & The Ivy

This is an under & over impression I made after deciding it was something i wanted to experiment with. I have added a tutorial to my 'Junes Crafty Tips' blog (see link on the right) for anyone who would like to try this technique of mine .

Playing with Glue

My good friend Susan has really inspired me with her mica pigment which she kindly sent a while back. I just can't stop playing with it as its fabulous and i was wondering how i could use it in a new way and also how i could create some new textures in my work and so i combined the mica with the use of hot glue and also a few little extras like tissue papers,beads,dried herbs etc which you can see in the 'red sky' atc and rub on foils on the 'rainbow hop' atc. All of these have both mica pigment and also hot glue as the basis

The Beginning

Its a new blog for the host of creative stuff i live for. I just decided i needed somewhere that i could post all my bits and bobs as although i have the crafting blogs i still have so many other things i like to do and so this will be the place to add them.
My poetry,art work,crafts of course, and anything else i have that fits loosely into the 'creative category.
Please come in anc comment when you can as i will really appreciate it
The 'Indian Sky Image is one i created using various techniques
