Has anyone ever asked you what is your favorite craft? Do you do a lot of different crafts, or do you stick to one?
I have tried my hand at many different crafts over the years. I think I knitted first, for both my children and myself. I have done a bit of cross stitch. I love the end result but, it really doesnt grow fast enough for me. I discovered card making about 15 years ago, and i still love to make them..I have done a bit of scrapbooking and recently discovered Memory Book making, which is a bit of an obsession now. I'll do a post about my Memory Books another day.
Back to the original question of what is your favorite craft?
I recently started a journey Into Mixed Media and I am loving it. I start with a basic idea of what I want to do and it just evolves as I go along.
This was one of my first pieces. The main image is printed from the first Imagination crafts usb. I am hugely influenced by Mandy from Imagination Crafts. As you can see I decoupage the image to give a 3D image.. The stencilling is simply done with black acrylic paint.
Believe it or not this was once a cotton bud box. Now it's a very pretty little storage box.
I did a little bit of plaster casting with this one. The paint I have used here is a sample pot from Homebase. I think it looks pretty good.
This is my latest piece. I'm very happy with this one. I hope you can see me improving as I go along. Who knows what the future will hold. I may try something else in the future, or I may just continue with the crafts I do now.
