More samples from Chocolate Baroque

Good morning Lovelies. Did you see our fab Lesley Wharton yesterday on The Craft Challenge, what a professional she was, so calm and warm and great demos, the samples from my teamies were fab too, here are 3 more that I made.

I used Distress markers on the trees.

Here I've used the Shaving foam technique.

These little wooden tags were hidden away for ages in my stash, I used Gesso and Silk Acrylics to colour them and my birds are on Shrink plastic that were coloured with watercolour pencils.

Thank you for visiting today, have a great one xx Zoe xx

Workshop projects

Good morning Lovelies, and what a lovely sunny but fresh morning it is, I hope you're enjoying your weekend?

I had a wonderful day yesterday as I always do at Eileen Godwins Workshop down in Rochester Kent, details here, if you haven't been yet you are definitely missing out, such fun. I usually go to group 2 but I'm busy next weekend and so infiltrated group 1's cosy little group and what a lovely bunch of ladies and Eric, although I only knew one other person there I felt so comfortable and welcome.

Thank you Eileen and group 1 for a fab day

Here's what I made. I had to do a little homework as time flew by, but I'm pleased with my Canvasses, the other ladies and Eric also produced stunning works of art.

 

The Butterflies on my last canvas are by Chocolate Baroque called Patchwork Butterfly you can purchase them here

Thank you by stopping today, have a fab weekend xx Zoe xx
