FUCK YEAH CRAFT!

Today I’ve been running a silk painting workshop for a group of uni friends having their yearly meet up!  Love doing workshops like this!

Work by Myriam Tillson, aka Fragments Of Myrrh. They create jewellery from resin, and sometimes wood and ceramic. They are only just starting out and trying to get out there a bit more.
You can find more work on Etsy, Deviantart and Instagram.

Some pictures from a Monoprinting workshop I ran last week at Crafty Praxis, Huddersfield.  I love Monoprinting, it’s a simple process that creates amazing, atmospheric artwork.  Unlike many other forms of printing it only creates one print (hence the name) so each one is truly unique.  During my art foundation course I got a bit obsessed and revisiting it and sharing it with other people has been really rewarding!

The dog in the bottom is a regular attendee to my workshops, he’s a hearing dog and is as cute as he is smart!

Soon I’m going self employed,  I’m pretty excited about finally taking the leap.  I’ll be running workshops and making things full time!  On the off chance you’re in West Yorkshire, England most are listed here!

Last lot of Yarndale pictures!

More photos from Yarndale, artwork, angora bunnies, alpacas and giant sheep costumes!

Today I went to Skipton for Yarndale!  

Skipton’s a gorgeous place, we found an adorable vegetarian cafe and had a walk through the park which had been yarnbombed for the event!

Last caravan from a display at Royal Melbourne Show in Melbourne, Australia.

Sadly I couldn’t find original sources for the rest of these yarn clad caravans, so if you know them let me know!  But just look at them!  They’re stunning!
