A Choir of (Steampunk) Angels

Just a quick post to share the fabby artwork from the ladies who came along to yesterday's Steampunk Angels workshop. It was a very leisurely day with lots of time to customize the papier mache blanks with cogs and gears from black shrink plastic, watchparts, washers, nuts and bolts, scrim, aluminium, chain, grungepaper, paint and Inca Gold. Here are a couple of close ups .............

.... but my photos really don't do justice to the details.

A bit different and lots of fun!

More soon xx

A Peek at Malvern 2012

Well, this is the rather uninspiring sight that greets us at all these events. Bit of a let down after a lovely journey through beautiful countryside on a sunny Spring day. Ho hum, back to reality!

Let the work begin. Up with the gridwork,

first side of the 'H' frame done,

second side looking a bit shaken,

Eco Green Crafts next, and on to the stamps.

My home for the duration, surrounded by Wendy Vecchi's wonderful products,

Darkroom Door, Chapel Road and Creative Expressions in place whilst trying to ignore the number of boxes still to be unpacked!

Kaisecraft and 7gypsies done but quite a bit still to finish - Hero Arts can wait 'til the morning me thinks!!

Close run thing but all set,

and after a gentle start,

we're off....

and a very good time was had by all!

Back tomorrow with a look at the bits we made in each day's demo - and what happened to them!

Bye for now xx
