Craftathon 2012.....and a new direction!

This afternoon I got back from "Craftathon 2012" where I met up with some CMLI pals for the weekend. What a great trip and I got to try out a whole bunch of techniques I've never tried before. Thanks to Kathy, Cherry and Clare for being patient whilst cries of "I'm stuck, what do I do now" were uttered from my direction.

Here's the canvas panel I made using distress inks, gesso and loads of 'found' objects. I am itching to have a go at another panel so will probably be purchasing some supplies very shortly. This is a new direction I'd love to go in....


We also made charms using shrink plastic. It's totally scary the way it shrivels up under the heat gun and I just know if I had tried this on my own at home I would have thought I'd done it completely wrong rather than needing to heat it MORE!


Kathy has a full run down on the weekend on her blog.
