Had a the most brilliant weekend,
Kate Crane (she of painty, inky, quirky, whimsical fame) returned to
The Artistic Stamper to teach us sarf' england peeps how to rock it Crane Style.
It was a three day weekend, with a class squeezed in on Friday for those who had missed out on the weekend classes, I unfortunately had to work, but come Saturday I was ready to party.
Day 1, we made altered matchboxes and Day 2 we learnt to draw and paint whimsical characters.
The rules of the weekend were no moaning but at times as Kate pushed us past our comfort zones, it was hard to stick to the rules. The room went silent as we all concentrated hard on the new techniques. I tried to take lot of photos during the day at different stages, also tried to take some selfies, definitely need some practice on that.
