Clay Flowers Frame

Thank you all for the lovely messages on my last post. 

Also to my 2 new visitors, I hope you liked my blog. 

I love making flowers with my Air Dry Clay and Roses 

are a regular make. So for a change, I thought I would

 try to make a Calla Lily and a Camellia.

I do have some in my garden, so I went and had look

at them to make sure I could get the detail right. Ish!!

The frame was an old one that I recycled, painting it

with some Gesso first. I then topped it with some

Duck Egg Blue Emulsion paint.  

I dried the paint with my heat gun.

I then dry bushed some craft glue over the whole frame.

I then dried to glue off a bit with my gun.

 I then dry brushed white Emulsion over the whole frame,

covering the glue.

I then dried the whole frame with my heat gun, which

then created the paint on the top to crackle. 

Below is the top corner with 2 clay flowers and the 

white flowers are from Hobbycraft. 

The pretty paper in the frame is from my stash.

So the flowers below are a Rose, Calla Lily and 

a Camelia. 

I don't use Moulds for making most of my flowers.

I prefer to just make them in my hands. 

With petals it works, as they mostly have veins

on them, which they can pick up from your hands.

So I have made a gift box to put this in and it will

go up for sale soon!!

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and keeping safe.

I can't remember when we last saw any rain!!

Thank goodness we have 2 big water butts for my new plants.

Thank you for taking time out to visit my blog

and I love reading your lovely messages. 

Big hugs,

A New Project.

Thank you for the lovely messages on my last post.

Much appreciated and treasured.

I am at my first of 17 Craft Fayres this Saturday and Sunday.

It's at Cherry Lane Garden Centre in Fritton.

This Butterfly is a lot more purple in Real Life.

Also the main fairy is all over glittered

and her wings are 3D.

Maybe visible if you click on it.

Looking forward to seeing some old faces. Not in age!!Lol!!

The weather is supposed to be good.

Off to bed as it's 1.35am so an early night tonight.

Thanks for popping in. You know I will visit your 

blogs as much as I can too.

Crafty Ribbons Challenge - Anything Goes

We have returned from our summer break at Crafty Ribbons.

Not that I have been on a holiday!

If you have been away, I hope you had a great time.

We are starting with an 'Anything Goes' theme 

for this challenge.

So just for a change from cards, I decided 

to do a decorated MDF heart as my DT project. 

The fab ribbon I used is 

Vintage Rose Ribbon Lilac/Purple.

This photo doesn't show it at it's best.

Take it from me, it is absolutely beautiful.

Click on the link above and you can see a better picture.

As always there is a super prize for the winner of the challenge.

So you have complete freedom, as to what you would

like to make.

Just don't forget it must have a ribbon on it!!!

For more inspiration, pop over to the blog and see 

my Teamies stunning artwork.

I am looking forward to see your makes and to

leave you a message on you blog too!

It's my birthday tomorrow, so hoping the weather is nice,

so we can have a nice lunch at a pub by the sea!!

Thanks for popping in and it would be even nicer

if you left me a message so I know you have been.

I could then return the compliment.

Messages are like treasure and they make a smile.

Big hugs,

Carolxxxx
