New Mixed-Media workshop at Wynyard Teesside

On the 29th of March 2014 I'll be teaching a 40 x 30 cm mixed-media canvas workshop at Wynyard Teesside.
from 10am until 5pm.
We'll be using all kinds of ephemera, inks, paints, grunge paste, stamps, stencils and pastels to make a colourful creation for you to take home. 

The class will be packed full of mixed-media techniques that you can use on cards, journal pages and altered art, as well as canvases. All supplies are provided, just bring a heat tool and a apron.

The venue has plenty of free parking, is just off the A19 and has a Premier Inn close by.

If you're interested in booking on the class please contact Sue Tucker (on facebook) or Sue Tucker's email on sue.tucker1@btopenworld.com. Or let me know and I'll get you in touch with Sue. 
I'd love to see you there.

These are some of the mixed-media canvases I've done so far. 








Dyan's a STAR!

Two blog posts in one day! 

In November I went to Dyan's Star book class at Art from the Heart.
 I saw this star book on the table on preview day way back in October, and I just knew I wanted to do the class!

 It was nice and heavy, well made and full of really great ideas and techniques. 

I'm so pleased I did the class because now I have this fabulous book to look at all the time.
 I had a few more bits to do to finish it off, but with working and Christmas I didn't get chance to complete it.

However last night I finished it, I just love picking it up, its wonderful.This is staying in the front room this one!


Love this star!













Dyan has this class on again on the 1st of March 2014, I totally recommend going to the class, its well worth it, you get a whole Tim Holtz paper pad and load of Idea-ology too. And of course Dyan's stella company!
I enjoyed it immensely.

What did I do Last Year?

Happy New Year!

Hope you had a marvellous Christmas?

This is me making the 3 bird roast of turkey, goose and chicken. It was very tasty indeed!


2013 was an incredible year for me, I started the year off on the PaperArtsy design team.
What an honour, love Leandra and Mark. 

Then had the chance to do a spot of demoing at Alexander Palace for PaperArtsy too. It was heaving and met a lot of people from Twitter. :)


As if 2013 couldn't get any better Dyan Reaveley gave me an amazing opportunity to teach at Art from the Heart. I was a nervous wreck, but I enjoyed it immensely because the ladies and occasionally a gentlemen were really lovely and supportive :)


Then I was made redundant from work, so I had more time on my hands to make bread and to craft!


I had a dabble in other art too and tried oil painting. 


Which resulted in a painting being put in an exhibition in the Infinity Cafe in Stockton-on-Tees.
My little painting xx


I had a bumper crop in the garden this year, the sunshine made everything ripen quickly..a bit too quickly!


Then I went back into work in September, back to my first love geology.


I wonder where 2014 will take me?
Looking forward to the adventure.

I have heaps more crafty classes lined up too, can't wait. xx
Have a fantastic 2014
Michelle xxxx
