Well i'm now covered in glue and shimmer paint having made a load of demos for Todays shows, if you can it would be great if you tune in (if only to see if i get my hand clean) at 10am and so one lol
I thought you might like a look at some of the bits I have been prepping! I will also be taking a christmas tree with me so you should be able to see loads of these in situ as it was! These are two of the demos that I will be doing through the day. The first is what I came up with the decorate and display the beautiful MDF Christmas Grab bag. I used a section of Cosmic Shimmer products, shimmer paints, gilding wax, PVA pearl and Twinkles to make these cute card or 3D projects decorations.
The second shot is of a sweet jar and tag decoupaged in one of the Craft Consortium Decoupage papers, perfect if you make your own christmas sweets (scan to Christmas 2013 for my take on home made chocolates with recipe!)
Hopefully see you all later!
Enjoy...
Morning John, these are great looking forward to your shows.

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of beautifully crafted projects, I love the sweet jar and would never have thought of using decoupage papers onto glass. I also love the little mdf pieces, they remind me of some little wooden tree decorations that we used to have. Good luck with the shows today and hope the glue comes off!
Thanks for sharing,
Heather Treble
