Thanks to all at The Stables Card Emporium for participating in this workshop.

This is the latest in a long line of Shabby Chic dimensional scrap/storage books made using Craft Consortium Decoupage posy paper (CCDECP232)

before being decorated in a shabby chic style.

Muggly The Powertex Soup Mug

"Muggly"

This is Muggly he is a soup mug that Heather decorated with Bronze Powertex Fabric Hardening Medium and scraps of fabric and ribbon. There is also a few plaster of Paris embellishments tucked in there as well.

He's quite a cool character we are on the look out for more soup mugs to join his family.

Learning a new skill

Silicone Moulding

Learning a new technique is always great fun and anything that can further my crafting and help with future workshops has got to be advantageous. The brown Egyptian head is a latest car boot find, it's actually carved from a piece of coal. I had purchased the silicone to try and mould my own pieces for workshops. This was quite a large first attempt, but wow how cool did it turn out. The white heads are the reproduction pieces I moulded from plaster of Paris. The detail is great and crisp. Next step - to try a resin head. Watch this space for further experiments.
