Digital Collage Sheets

I've recently been working on a new branch to my supplies shop and have been designing digital collage sheets - these are sold as jpeg (or pdf) files which you can download and print yourself to use in your own personal crafting projects or for small scale business, selling things you've made from the sheets.

I've seen collage sheets online before but it wasn't until recently that I thought I would have a go at making my own - I then realised how fun and addictive they were so I'm starting to get a little collection of them in my shop now!

So far my designs range from photographs of my vintage button collection to background papers made from layered textures and old handwriting. The latest addition is this set of 12 inch scrapbooking papers featuring my rabbit illustration, spots, checks, carrots and flowers...

You can see the full range so far in my etsy supplies shop www.hfcsupplies.etsy.com

Clockwork Bird Sculpture

I made this clockwork bird sculpture a while ago but have only just photographed it. Based on my clockwork blackbird (Model No.57) illustration this little bird is made from Fimo, wire, a cog and bead eye. After baking I then varnished it and painted some parts with gold paint. Finally I mounted the bird in a 4.5 inch square frame with a wallpaper background.

He was fun to make and satisfied my craving to 'make something' with Fimo anyway! :)
