Our lovely projects this week....

A beautiful ink and pen drawing by Markus

A delicate ink painting on sugar paper which gives the blurry effect.

Siobhan's lino prints. The second one was printed with bleach onto green ink. It was quite fascinating to watch, when the ink was printed onto the paper the image appeared like photograph developing.

Screen prints by Angela

Some paper stars that Cathy showed my how to make, and in situ on my livig room door!

The texture of this batik on paper is fantastic. Markus used the clingfilm and ink technique but on more porous sugar paper. The texture is very organic, resembling rock or cracked earth.


Last class next week before Christmas!

 I have been rather busy over the last couple of weeks. Preparing for Christmas and craft fairs of my own. I am also now selling my work on Folksy http://www.folksy.com/shops/ZoeJamesJewellery

Some pictures of what we have been doing over the last few weeks.....

Christmas cards galore!!

Siobhan made a lovely big mess making her scrapbook

Anna's mum made me a beautiful Christmas decoration from ribbon.

Sissa made some paper stars, and showed me how to. Mine is now on top of my tree!

Tea, buns and bunting! I'm going to create a 'textiles techniques' bunting with these pieces that Anna brought for me.

Mounting for Christmas presents
