At home with Amy

Well I haven't posted in since last year - very strange saying that. I arrived back in Banbury on Friday night, and instead of unpacking, I couldn't wait to get back into my Art. I had two projects on the go at the weekend, and for a change they're not for sale, just some craftiness for me to have instead.

My first piece is a framed piece of Artwork. I had lots of fun with marbling inks, which I must admit, left me with a very messy sink. I used the marbling inks for the background colour and then painted on white doilies ontop to give a cute, vintage type effect. The photos aren't great, but it does look good up on the wall!



My next weekend project was my 'Sex and the City' cushions. I was out with the girlies at Craftwoman before heading back to Oxford and picked up the coolest shoe fabric and lacey/polka dot ribbon. I knew I wanted my cushions to be made with this. Anyone who knows me wells, knows about my little shoe addiction, and these are a great little addition to my flat!!
