Just creating

Well i haven't really had time to scrap. That is only becuase i have been so busy creating (and loving it), so i am going to post some photos of the creations that i have been working on, and that have been holding me back from scrapping.

We had the local show here on the weekend, and i usually enter some craft/handicraft and photos in. The entry numbers are slowly but surely decreasing every year which is such a shame, but hopefully this year was just an off year and we will see more next year.

I decided i wanted to dabble in Mixed Media, becuase the work i have been seeing around the place is fantastic to say the least. So i created a mixed media canvas, and although i have alot of fine tuning of my skills i was pretty happy with the outcome. It also won Most outstanding for its section which was awesome.



There was also a section in Handicraft for a painted or decorated work boot for year of the farmer. I put two in and they were completely different to one another. Here they are below.

This one was great fun to make - although it was a little tedious. I have had alot of comments about the poor boot that was used in the making of this one. But i think the scarecrow that i pinched it from is not really going to miss it.

The other one is a decorated one, and more of a girly type boot.



I had so much fun doing these - something different!

Thanks For Looking - have a great week :)

those boots are so awesome... you have missed your calling..... you might be head hunted by RMW next.

congrats for the mixed media canvas win.

Mixed media scares the crap out of me, so I'm chuffed to see you give it a go.

Ta Tiff, yeah i love everything crafty which stems from my Grandma and mum who are both very clever.

The boots were so much fun to make, i was dissapointed that no one else put entries in for that class, becuase it was a one off this year.

The mixed media, was so much fun! I think the thing about it is you really can't mess it up :) I kept adding and taking off, covering up, and adding some more and it turned out fine. So stoked.

Cooties back at ya xxx
