    Home Decor: Large size Canvas Project

    Hi everyone, today I have a more painterly style project to show you! It’s a canvas that I designed with a combination of different elements. I took the colour of the wallpaper from a different wall in the same room as I designed this canvas for as my starting point, then looked for flowers with matching colours and added the magnolia’s. I like the shape of fleur-de-lis, so I added that and then I liked the combination with the hexagons. I took those elements and created a ro

    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. --------------------------
