I did a thing! This year I am trying to make sure that I challenge myself and make time to grow my creative skills, oh and have fun doing it.

So when Identity Leathercraft set out their brief for their makers gallery at their event, I was determined to enter.

Here’s what I did.

Explore the captivating story behind "GILDED LILY WITH VASE," a remarkable piece that epitomizes elegance and artistic expression. This blog post delves into the intricate craftsmanship and creative process - using a new leather to create a sculptural piece.

It has been an excruciating wait to be able to have dedicated time for setting up and having a little play. Am so excited. The 40W and the IR 2W should give us lots of scope for everything we need. Watching the first one as I type!

So I have been learning about the settings on ETSY and have managed to create a discount code for all my Facebook followers for the next month.

I’ll be uploading several new tutorials in the next few months! Keep checking back.

Happy New Year All!

I have been hard at work over the holiday period on new workshops and tutorials.

I have a question about the tutorials (as a download)

Would you prefer larger pictures with 4 on a page (more pages to print)or smaller pictures with 6 on a page so fewer pages to print out.

Please comment on the picture below that you would prefer. Thanks you. I have paused at the moment in case I need to reformat :)
