Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

Blog Candy, Workshops, Clever Tots and Bargain Buy

Another workshop all done and dusted and they have booked me again for a double session next time for a Christmas Project, so much more can be accomplished in two hours! I love to see what people come up with when they are given a free hand to do what they like, more than that I love to hear those words 'Gosh I didn't realise I was Artistic'
Everyone has an artistic side - look how young children love to paint and draw without really caring what it looks like as long as they like it and mum and dad are sure to praise that's all that matters, sadly sometimes along the way the creative side is squeezed out of us and it needs to be rediscovered.

Talking of young people, have a look here at a selection of peoples finished projects and tell me which was done by a four year old who came along with her dad.!
.......
Oh and I would like you to meet Billie....

First Issue of a new mag called 'How Your Body Works' you know the sort , you have to buy every issue to build your complete skeleton, which @ £4.99 an issue will end costing you hundreds of pounds, but issue 1 and Billies skull is only 99p... ripe for altering!!

...............
and the answer to which project was completed by 4 year old Charlotte is...
.
When asked if it was for her mummy, she said..... 'No it's for me!'
and lastly.... just to check whether or not you are still awake....
If anyone would like one of the sample projects that I did for the workshop (apart from the bird one, that's going to the Art Raffle) then leave a comment and next saturday I'll pick 3 names using random.org)

  9. Every time one of these ads comes on He Who Thinks He Is The Font Of All Knowledge (otherwise known as OH) calculates how much it'll cost to completethe project...... usually about £400... so my visits to crafty places seem cheap in comparison! Billy was a bargain at 99p!!!!!
