Doodletastic!

First of all a big CONGRATULATIONS to Vanessa for her competition winning card (see above). Vanessa entered her photo card into a competition for the Cornwall Hospice Care Calendar and won first prize. Her photo will be featured in the 2013 calendar and Vanessa has earned herself a photography workshop with David Chapman, a wildlife photographer. We look forward to seeing more photos and the calendar soon Vanessa!

We had a very therapeutic cardmaking workshop last month with lots of floral pen designs and doodling going on. Here are some of the results. Well done to Linda on a fantastic first demo and thank you so much for bringing along a little prize for the best doodler, which was won by Olly. (Well done also to Rachel for her runner up cat doodle)

Don't forget our Saturday workshop on 15th September. We will be covering some basic jewellery techniques to make brooches, keyrings, bag charms and other beaded items, including frame hangings like the ones below. You will be able to make your own embellishments or jewellery items using Fimo, paper beads and shrink plastic, amongst other techniques. Feel free to bring your own beads, embellishments etc and if you want to make a keepsake frame hanging you will also need to bring along photos to mount. Please send either Michelle or myself an email if you are interested in attending.
