New Items this week….

Hello!
I know some of you are waiting for my post regarding our Prima weekend – and I promise it is on its way. It has just taken me a week to recover from our awesome weekend!

So firstly on to the new products in store this week:

Christy Tomlinson has released some more products in her SheART range.

The stencils are perfect for all your mixed media projects.
Kaiser has release 3 new stunning collections:

As well as a large selection of wooden flourishes.
Kaisercraft is also well known for their awesome beyond the page wood, and this month they have really outdone themselves with some great storage items:

The wishing well is HUGE! Perfect for a Wedding! Stands 62cm tall
All items shown here are in stock now.
Wishing everyone a fantastic week.

Mixed Media Fun

Good Evening!

On Monday nights we hold Art Journalling classes in our workroom. (the class is full but we are taking names for the next group. Please register your interest)

The starter kit is awesome (even if I do say so myself). Everyone received a tote, gel medium, mixed media sampler kit from Faber Castell, 3 different background stamps + lots more. (the kit ended up being worth just over $120!) But the main item in the kit is the beautiful Dyan Reavely Art Journal.

Dylusions Journal

These journals are so beautiful that there is actually a certain Lady (you know who you are Mrs P!) who is extremely hesistant to use it. She just wants to look, feel and smell it! But she has promised next week one page MIGHT get covered with some gesso 🙂

The whole kit + 6 weeks of classes costs $175.00 and is taught by the extremely talented Jenny. Her main aim is to push us all outside of our comfort zone and not to think.

We have a couple more Journals in stock – they are not listed online so please contact me if you would like to own one. They retail for $29.99

_______________________________________________________________________

One of my favourite items to use on all mixed media has to be the Gelatos. Have you ever tried them? We have all the mix and match sets in stock (both online and in store).

Here is a short video demonstrating one of many techniques…

Aren’t they awesome?? There are many more techniques as well…I have a box of the colours in our workroom if you would like to see / touch them.

As well as the full gift box we also stock all of the mix and match sets. They can be found online by clicking here.

Also in stock or 2 different sizes of Pitt Pens. There is the skinny ones and the big brush. They can be found here.

New on the Web: Along with the gelatos and Pitt pens we have also just uploaded the Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers.

If you are looking for calligraphy pens, we do have various ones available from Faber-Castell but they are not listed online, just give me a ring / e-mail or drop in to the shop.

Wishing you all a very creative week….I need to try and finish 9 ATC cards by tomorrow night for a swap I’m in….
