Summer Workshops

I did this workshop towards the start of the summer holiday, but have just realised how long it has been since I did a post, too busy having fun I guess!
I had to share these photos, I think maps are fascinating, and it turns out they make great paper flowers. It was a gentleman that made these, and he really quite enjoyed it. I like the combination of something that is deemed feminine with something that is considered more masculine.

Frame decorating workshop

I am running the second part of a workshop tomorrow, this one will focus on using book, maps, magazines, newspapers and papers to decorate a frame.

I have been prepping for it over the last day or two, and here is the frame I came up with, where I tried out a few different techniques. Mainly ones I had saved on Pinterest and hadn't gotten round to having a go at. I was surprised how easy most of them were. I normally spend most of my time creating artwork digitally, so it is so nice and relaxing to make something by hand.
