The past 18 months have been a difficult time for us all. For most of that time we have been at home, or very restricted about where we can go.
I suffer from an anxiety disorder so being locked away has not been the best thing for me. Crafting has always been a safe haven for me, but it has kept me sane during the pandemic.
I have had a Scan and Cut CM900 for about 2 years now. I had used it a little bit mainly in my card making, but oh my goodness it has really come into its own during lockdown. I now use it almost everyday.
The first big project I used it for was this vintsge style box. I was delighted with the way it turned out.
I had my firstvtry at mixed media during lockdown. I love all things Egyptian so I did this using some Tatteted Lace papers and dies, and some different paints. I'm now completely hooked.
Concrete casting is something else I have had a go at. Rome is one of my favorite places and this little Coloseum has pride of place in my garden.
This is my favorite craft item from lockdown. This was again made using my scan and cut. It is decorated with papers by Imagination Crafts. It's finished with black paint, guilding wax and fabric roses.
So that is how beneficial crafting has been to me during lockdown. I hope it has helped you as well, and continues to do so for a long time to come.
