    Welcome Sign

    Hi everyone, today I’m on the Crafter’s Workshop Blog with this fun mixed media sign that I created for my brother’s new home, which he will decorate in an industrial style/theme! -------------------------------- The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with some product to create this project.

    Art Journal Page: Trick or Treat

    Hi everyone, today I’m on the Colourstock blog with this moody Halloween themed art journal page. I’m working in my Winsor & Newton Heavy Weight Wire-O Sketch Book.

    Venetian Carnival Mask

    Hi everyone, today I’m on The Crafter’s Workshop blog with a bit of a different project then usual. For today’s project I was inspired by the masks that people wear during the Venice Carnival each year. I somehow find the renaissance costumes and beautiful masks quite fascinating (you can do a Google search if you would like to know what I’m talking about). This year carnival in Venice (Italy) is between the 27th of January and the 13th of February. --------------------------
