Dragon Skin Technique

Day two I demonstrated how to make 'Dragon Skin' as it is affectional known as.

Ironing different plastics between baking parchment and then colouring it with 

oil pastels,acrylic paints and Angelina Fibres.

Some of my students came to the studio and brought their husbands too! 

So, three generations inside looking at the work in the studio and the gentlemen enjoying the veranda in the garden. All were more than happy as you can see.

Lace Dress form Card

Wednesday the 4th was Card Making @The Gallery

with Kim.

We were all feeling a little groggy to get started back

to class but look at what I created!

Kim showed us lots of ways of folding cards,

using different sizes.

Kim also brought in lots of inspirational papers,

I chose the lace ones!

It was good to be card making again,

Thank you Kim!

Gilded Flowers

Here is the first of the Gilded Flower Cards put together.

I love looking around my studio for that treasure,

the little bit of something that is just right to add to a piece of work.

The treasure that makes you go, "yes, that fits".
