BIG SHOUT TO MY MUM....Lilly brown, in Viva this week and we sold her first amazing crochete rug the white and colourful one at market last week!

Kraft Bomb is this weekend so make sure you go and see Tim and Miss ruby!

Been working on a buttoned Freakey cushi0n will post my photo once finished!

Keep on creating!!!!!!

Heres a idea for you to play with, grab old necklace or actually anything with a flat surface that needs a new lease of life..

1.Have spray paint ready in colour desired-i always go for high gloss finish!

Then find holey fabric as shown here, fishnet tights, a paper dollie anything with a holey pattern- i ended up laying plastic chain over mine

2. lay over item and spray - Note if you want a sold colour don't disturb let dry then reapply.

3.Then once dry, take off what you have used to make pattern and wala!

Finish off with clear coat of clear lacquar- buy in can form or a paint can from any hardware store!

My first ever bead group!!
