Flower lights for my studio

So much fun.

After my Lilly was dressed up in a crepe paper outfit for Hobby-x,

it inspired me to refit my studio lights with LED bulbs and

turn them into flowers!

 

 

 Lilly looked stunning and was a showstopper at Luna artistry's

stand. She is not back yet but you can have a look at photos of her:

The Photos are also in her Instagram.

 

 

 So when it is a grey rainy day outside, the studio looks colourful and happy.

 

 

 This is a peonies I made. I still can't believe

how stunning the paper is to work with.

 

 

If you don't know who Lilly is, here she is 

with an apron we made and decorated,

 

 

and here she is with a beautiful neckpiece Lizette has made for an

article in the Creative Hobbies.

The Grey Ladder Studio will be hosting a Weekend Event consisting of three Workshops.

Crepe paper wreath
Funky painted canvas tote
 Constructing an Art journal

These are three different crafts and you will be learning new techniques during each workshop.

The event starts on Saturday morning at 09:00 and ends
Sunday at 13:00

On the Food menu:
Coffee, tea, muffins and rusks.
Cupcakes, juice, lunch, snacks, and a sun downer.
Farewell cake and tea.

On the Craft menu:
Creating a crepe paper wreath.
Painting a blank canvas tote or a paintbrush roll.
Constructing a ten page art journal with front and back cover.

Lucinda from Luna Artistry will be hosting the three hour crepe paper wreath workshop. You will receive all the materials to complete the project.

I will host the next workshop, the funky painted tote or the painted paintbrush roll. Here you have a choice between the two, the same materials and techniques will be used for both. The tote will hold all your craft supplies for a workshop and the paintbrush roll will hold all your
pens and brushes for an art journal workshop.

The last workshop for the weekend will be all about how to construct your own art journal. Creating backgrounds, layering your pages and creating a cover for the journal. You will also be writing, stamping and stenciling in your journal! It is a lot, but we cover all the basics.

For this workshop I need you to bring a few supplies:
Kitchen paper towel
Baby wipes
Small water spray bottle
Old credit or gift card
Stabilo All black pencil
Permanent pen black and white
Water paint brush

The cost for this weekend event is R1740.00
If you need to stay overnight there are a few comfortable guest houses close by, I will email you all the info on request.

Save the date, grab a friend and book your space.

Butterflies for my mom

My mom is turning 90 on Wednesday and the family 

had lunch together yesterday to celebrate her birthday.

I decorated the tables, made a salad and supplied the champagne.

 My older sister made a cake

and the younger sister brought a huge amount of food.

( She is the one with the kids and the grand kids )

Each plate was decorated with colorful serviettes and

paper butterflies.

For Oumie as we call her, things 

can be overwhelming at times.

She is hard of hearing and has Alzheimer's. 

Oumie had a busy life. But she is still going strong.

When it was time for dessert, Oumie and Marocé

worked well together to decorate her cake.

Then it was time to cuddle the latest member of the family

The cutest little boy, now 4 month old.

Happy birthday Oumie,

may you have a year filled with Love.

Sharpie Pen Roll

These products go together like cinnamon, sugar and lemon juice...

( I am thinking pancakes...)

Canvas 

Liquid paint

Sharpie pens

A very long time ago I bought a huge roll of raw canvas. 

It has been turned into 

aprons, messenger bags, pencil cases, 

shopping totes, and now pen or paint brush rolls.

I did this project for the Creative Hobbies Magazine, Issue 15.

The step by step tutorial tells you in detail what to do.

 The pigments in the Dala Sun Paints are amazing.

Look at the colours!

So paint and play with your designs on the canvas.

Just remember that wet paint mix.

Stencil and write on the design. Use your 

Sharpie Fabric markers to highlight or accentuate certain areas. 

 Use your black and white for the high lights and the low lights.

Fill up your pen roll!

And start making the next one...

Crepe Paper Roses

Too beautiful for words!

I think no one could believe what they saw once

 they completed their roses.

We had a wonderful bunch of people on Saturday

for the two workshops. Everyone chose their own colour and 

then the cutting started. 

After a while we started

curling and cupping.... 

ok, important words when you are making flowers.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the workshops,

we had a wonderful day.
