About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Abstract Faces!

I recently had the chance to play with Tim Holtz Abstract Faces die set from Sizzix. To be honest, at first I was totally bemused, and initially made a mixed media canvas that I will share later. But then I decided to take the bull by the horns and see what I could do using them as they were designed - for abstract faces. A little search on Google revealed an artist to me that I had never heard of before - Thomas Fedro - whose work with abstract "pop art" style faces, combined with bright colours and black borders, really appealed to me and provided the inspiration for this piece. 

There are two projects shown here. One is the original I created, and the other is the piece I created during the video demonstration. I love both of them! 

Click on either picture to have a look at the video demonstration. These really were a lot of fun to make!! 

Thanks for popping by, and I hope I have given you a little inspiration. Feel free to follow me here on my blog, or on FaceBookTwitterInstagram or Pinterest.

Happy crafting,
