The Wargs are here
Over lockdown I decided to continue painting the miniatures from ‘Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth’ board game. I again used Sorastro’s painting …

Altenew Level 1 Final Challenge
The final challenge to achieve a level 1 in the Altenew Educator Program was to create 2 sets of cards, one for her and one for him. Each set needed to have 6 cards on the same theme.
Irresistible Inking Techniques
The ‘Irresistible Inking Techniques’ Altenew Academy class looks at different creative ways to use your ink pads. Some of these techniques I had learned previously in other Altenew Academy classes, but a few were completely new to me. The class is run by Sara Naumann, who has her own unique style and explained the techniques really well.
Easy Die Cutting Techniques
It’s been a while, but I’ve finally finished another Altenew Academy class ‘Easy Die Cutting Techniques’ by Yana Smakula. This class covers everything from the basic use of dies with stamps to some more advanced techniques.
One Dragon, 3 ways
I am pleased to say that I’m now part of the Get Creative Challenges Blog Design Team. It is an interesting blog, all about promoting the use of digital stamps. There is even a monthly challenge that anybody can join in, no matter what their skill level is.
Seasonal Scene Building
‘Seasonal Scene Building’ is an interesting mix of a class from Altenew. The tutor Nichol Magourik, brings a different way to use techniques that you may already be familiar with. I found myself thinking a lot during the class, that I had never thought of doing that before.
Netting and Peyote Stitch
My books finally arrived so that I could start learning seed beading properly. I am very much a book learner, with videos coming a close second.
