Lots of crafty play in the last few days with some old favourites: Wednesday afternoon it was shrink plastic, die cut then coloured with alcohol inks and Promarkers. Yesterday it was salt dough which was an experience: I stamped into some and used shape cutters for some. Lessons learnt: 1. you need a deeply etched stamp as the images sink a bit during drying, 2. if placing on a rack to dry make sure it is a fine mesh ie with the wires not too large of far apart (mine was not and the images I placed have lost shape as they sank between the metal wires of the grill). 3. Don't make too much - it gets boring and now I've got three trays of shapes to store during drying and to decorate after, and I still have two batches of dough I didn't use!!!
Please note the picture on my mug of tea!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Hels. Fundraiser was great, raised £81 and had a real laugh! Going to let the girls have a bash at this at my next workshop. Glad your workshop went well in Southampton, and that you got there/back ok - wish I could have been there, but maybe next time! Suz xx
