Belated post about our last workshop of 2016, we had a great time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
creating a festive board using ceramic and air dry clay </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to form mosaic style tiles along with other embellishments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is mine, I used a long board.</div>

Here to share the results of a workshop I ran in September for our craft club members, </div>
<div align="center">
we used Air dry Clay by Fimo, this particular clay can be cured in a microwave</div>
<div align="center">
which is ideal to create, cure, paint and glue to a board on the same day</div>
<div align="center">
instead of waiting for the clay to dry within 24 hours.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here is one of my board samples.</div>

Must give a huge credit for the inspiration for my boards to Laurie Mika and her fabulous book Mixed Media Mosaics that sadly I think is out of print now. Though she uses</div>
<div align="center">
polymer clay and I adapted some of her techniques to use for air dry clay, it was still more than inspirational. Until next time.</div>

After a late start and family visits over I now have time to update the blog with the latest swaps at our craft club.<br />
<br />
Here is my swap, it is on a 5 x 7" canvas board using the large Tim Holtz butterfly die, with embossing folder to bring out all the detail. I have used a spoon for the body covered in a painted strip of Tyvek then heated, this curls the edges which I touched with gilding paste.<br />

I created several of these boards which could be used for journal covers for last year when a group of our lovely forum members from <a href="http://www.cardmakingparadise.com/" target="_blank">Cardmaking Paradise</a> met up for a workshop here in Harston, we usually exchange a little something at these events. The following is a photo of all the boards.<br />

Annie also decorated this treasure box for the February swap, but unfortunately she was the only one that brought along a swap, so I have included it with this months swap. It is a very steampunk design with nuts and bolts all over and inside a lovely surprise of mdf pieces to use.<br />

Wow the last few weeks have vanished and I am late blogging </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my canvas provided as a guide, templates included in the kit for a single large tree </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or 3 smaller trees plus everything needed for this project. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used lots of different embellishments. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Old broken jewellery, charms, metal flowers, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
air dry clay images from molds, buttons and beads. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the glue dried, everything covered with black gesso.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Highlighted with gilding paste.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When complete I added red gems in some of the crevices.</div>

Great swap this month, though only between Annie and I. </div>
<div align="center">
We also caught up with our crafty chat</div>

I stamped and painted santa hats to use on my cards.</div>

I have had no time to craft during September as my darling daughter</div>
<div align="center">
was admitted to critical care unit with pneumonia and blood </div>
<div align="center">
poisoning. Within hours into an induced coma, then dialysis. They treated</div>
<div align="center">
her for Legionnaires Disease. For two weeks it was critical, but am happy to </div>
<div align="center">
say she is home now and slowly recovering.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
This closely followed with my dear husband going into hospital a week</div>
<div align="center">
ago for a hip replacement, he too is doing well and needing a lot of TLC xx</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here is my door hanger (made a while back and lucky to have it to hand for this swap).</div>
<div align="center">
I stamped the main image onto tissue</div>
<div align="center">
paper and glued it to the background.</div>

The swap this month was in fact a delayed</div>
<div align="center">
swap from the previous month between</div>
<div align="center">
Liz and Jane who were unable to attend in July. </div>
<div align="center">
We did not have a general swap as we</div>
<div align="center">
had the Heart workshop plus I did not provide</div>
<div align="center">
items for the swap last month, very naughty of me to forget.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The first swap is a fabulous box that Liz decorated </div>
<div align="center">
using her own stamp (Elizabeth Borer) designs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now onto our heart workshop, using the same methods as in the June workshop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we covered the canvas with white gesso, adding strips of lace and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
random areas of embossing paste through stencils. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A template was provided for the heart shape, Liz decided to use an oval shape</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for hers. I provided all the supplies such as metal flowers, beads, charms,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wooden and clay embellishments and die cuts plus a host of extras if required</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
though I would guess that everyone had enough supplies to make another canvas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Annie and Linda have finished their canvases,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When we met up in February for our first craft day, we had not decided on what our swap would be during the coming year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I provided random items from my hoard of goodies that I at one time fully intended to alter but never actually got round to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each member chose either a paper mache covered accordion booklet, a small frame or a box, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should of course have taken a photo of the items but forgot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month we swapped with each other and it was fabulous to see how each member had risen to the challenge producing wonderful altered creations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I altered my accordion booklet which had 6 folding pages which provided 12 sides to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
create a Birthday book. I decorated the pages, then used ATC sleeves</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to hold a Tag, dates can be recorded on the reverse. Then made a stand </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
up sleeve to store the booklet in.</div>

Today I have two more stamp samples used for the launch</div>
<div align="center">
on Wednesday on <a href="http://blog.paperartsy.co.uk/" target="_blank">PaperArtsy blog</a> of 4 new Art Nouveau style </div>
<div align="center">
stamp sets by Elizabeth Borer. </div>
<div align="center">
Check out PaperArtsy blog to see Liz's</div>
<div align="center">
artwork and samples and a video by Leandra.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
In this sample I used 2 of the new purples in the new Fresco range </div>
<div align="center">
along with yellow paints and stamps from EEB06. The background </div>
<div align="center">
beneath the image used two purples with a stencil. </div>
<div align="center">
I created the background beneath that with a brayer and various</div>
<div align="center">
purples and yellows and finally stamping a flower image.</div>

The final sample I decided to feature just the flower and stem on a tag.</div>

Yesterday <a href="http://blog.paperartsy.co.uk/" target="_blank">PaperArtsy</a> featured new stamps sets by Elizabeth Borer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Liz asked me to be one of her "wingmen" and produce four samples</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for this launch I was both excited to be asked and panic-stricken in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
equal measure. Liz's stamps are gorgeous but very different from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my usual style. I hope I have managed to do justice to them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out PaperArtsy blog where you will see all Liz's </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
amazing artwork plus a video by Leandra featuring</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her artwork and samples.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my first sample. I used Fresco paints and matt glaze for and around</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the image. For the background I used a purple paint through a stencil over a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
brayered background. For the larger background I used the ribbon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
swirl stamp over soft flower stamped images.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello again and yes with another Christmas Tree Canvas or two</div>
<div align="center">
With all the boxes of stuff open in the craft room</div>
<div align="center">
I decided to decorate a small 8" canvas </div>
<div align="center">
on both sides to place on a shelf or windowsill.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I covered the canvas front and back with black gesso.<br />
Gluing all the elements to sketched shapes for the trees.<br />
I then covered these with black gesso and highlighted<br />
with various Treasure Gold pastes.<br />
Finishing with tiny red rhinestones.<br />
Here is the result which now sits on our dresser.</div>

The inspiration for the canvas above came after completing another 8" canvas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made for my son and daughter in law to take over to her parents</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in Finland later this month, did I say that I find making them </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just a bit addictive. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the canvas which will be bound for Finland on Sunday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the base I glued a mesh over the canvas before covering</div>

with gesso and gluing the elements in place</div>

Hello again, I am back to share this fabulous board by Jane</div>
<div align="center">
which she has now completed since our workshop</div>
<div align="center">
and kindly sent me these photos.</div>
<div align="center">
I love the way Jane has used small red baubles mixed</div>
<div align="center">
with pearls, washers, cogs and all manner of goodies.</div>
<div align="center">
The white background really enhances the cogs and the tree.</div>

Hello again, here is my last tree board,</div>
<div align="center">
I could not decide which colour to use or background. </div>
<div align="center">
It started out as blue then red and finally</div>
<div align="center">
I chose to go with Liz's idea of black. I painted</div>
<div align="center">
everything with black gesso stippling the board to give</div>
<div align="center">
more texture. </div>

Back again with my finished Wreath Board. I realised near the end that there was</div>
<div align="center">
a danger it might be more oval than round, having the doily base came</div>
<div align="center">
in very handy to keep to the shape intended.</div>

I used a large paper doily (with centre cut out) glued this to the board as </div>

a base and guide before adding two coats of </div>
