Done & Dusted

Well it's all over - after months of organising, weeks of prep and loads of sweat and one or two tears, but thankfully no blood, the Craft Retreat seems to have been a huge success.
Thank you to all the ladies who attended, we hope you had fun.
Charlotte took a fantastic paint techniques class on Saturday morning, all the ladies made stunning painted wooden storage boxes shaped like books, see Joyce, Tina and Meg paying close attention...

My first and probably the most controversial project of the weekend was my alcohol ink owl project. 

We used Letraset inks to colour some glossy card and canvas, then stamped loads of circles and ovals from the Build a Flower/Marion Emberson set of PI stamps onto the coloured surfaces and cut them all out to layer up. We made the wings and face separately to give him more dimension.

Will be back tomorrow with more pics
