Chalkboard cubes


These wooden cubes are painted with lime green and red paint. One face of each cube has patterned paper using decoupage, and two faces of the cubes have blackboard paint. On the lime green faces I have painted the name Emma using an acrylic paint marker pen. It is a birthday gift for my daughter's friend.

Fun shaped chalkboards for kids



These chalkboards are made from M.D.F, cut out with a jigsaw and then 3 coats of blackboard paint was simply painted on. The pink on the cupcake is even chalkboard paint. I have made these for my friends new hair salon for children who are waiting to get their hair done or just simply waiting for mum.

Origami


My daughter Hollie and I, made these shirts and dresses using Origami, the paper folding technique. All I need to do now, is buy some mini pegs and then hang them on some string to look like a washing line. Hollie will hang it up in her bedroom as an alternative to bunting.

hand painted sign and chairs

This is a sign I painted recently for my friends new hair salon that opened today in Whissendine, Rutland. She wanted a shabby chic style interior which would work well with the village surroundings. I painted four wooden chairs in her favourite lime green colour and also one of the interior walls.
