Port Sunny

A couple of weeks ago, on the 9th May, I was working for Paddy's Stamping Place (Prestwich) at Port Sunlight.  As usual it was a good show and nice to see so many of my friends who really supported me in my demonstration using clay.

Below is a picture of some of the items from my display which I took with me.  I had done several clay workshops for Paddy so it was easy for me to gather some items to show people what they could do with the air dry clay.

The handbag (made of wood) was something I did several years ago and has various items stuck on the clay surface such as a microscope slide, a fob watch case, a Spellbinders dragonfly cut from metal and some silk flowers.

I had made some tiles during the week using StyleStones to imprint a design on and these were used to decorate two little papier mache boxes.  One had a seaside theme and held some shells and a starfish made from one of the moulds Paddy sells.

These are some of the beads I had made - the triangular ones and the oval flat ones (decorated with Tandy stamps) are from my workshop but the others were done with the various bead rollers Paddy now has in stock.  The bottom necklace is all joined together with wire but the upper one is strung.
This was my bottle from my workshop.  No end of wine has been drunk by those attending the workshops (LOL) as they needed to bring their own bottle in.  Imagine if Paddy and I had had to drink enough for all the people who attended.
This was a photograph frame which will be one of the things we will be doing in my next workshop for Paddy (0161 798 5115 in case anyone wants to attend).  Again using Tandy stamps to decorate - they are very deeply etched and you can get some fabulous results when using them, especially with the pasta machine.
I also had a cuff bracelet with me which Paddy wore - sadly I have given it to her as she really liked it so I cannot put a picture of it on this blog.  Not to worry, I can soon do another one.
