Sarah's Challenge

Hi Everyone, Mo's OH here with a dictated post from a poorly person.  Mo didn't want the challenge to be delayed so she sends you her best and hopes to be with you very soon.  

Our first challenge was a great success with some fantastic entries which we hope to see again on our Second Challenge for
It is the turn of the wonderfully talented Sarah Dunkley aka SezzieD to choose our theme this month.  We will also find out some more about her as she introduces herself to you in more detail. Lets welcome Sarah!


Hiya my lovelies!
I'm proper chuffed to be hosting this month's challenge!
Let me start by introducing myself...

Ok well, I'm a wife & mum of 4 & I also have 3 step-kids & 3 step-granddaughters (no, I'm not old enough!) I work at a local primary school as a teaching assistant, so I guess children seem to be major part of my life! In the photo below is a Chinese dragon I made for last years school production. It's made from a veg box, some plastic bottles & a few other bits & bobs!
Chinese Dragon.

 Before I became a Teaching Assistant, I was a self employed mixed media artist. I ran workshops & sold my work at local art markets & emporiums. I also made bespoke commissions. 

This commission was a cutlery box which I turned into a jewellery box.

This commission was a personalized shadow box.

I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia which has made me rethink & re-prioritise things. I have decided to work part time in the next school year to give myself some more 'down time'.

I really only make items as gifts or as 'therapy' now. Maybe in the future it will change, maybe it won't, I just take everyday as it comes! 

Boot bracelets on my boots.
Wall art for my studio.
I'm an easy going hippy chick, who embraces the unconventional. I am comfortable with my weirdness & not afraid to let my inner self shine! My style of art is not to everyone's taste but I have fun doing what I do, in the way I do it and that's what matters!

So without further ado here's my theme for this month's challenge...
