I know there's a lot of crafters that love to hang onto their die-cut off-cuts. I love to use a combination of die-cuts and scraps to create cards. This is the perfect project after a long day or week, and a great warm up exercise too! I make my own @gelpress prints with @tcwstencils and #timholtz dies from @sizzix then I outline them using @posca_usa fine liner pens.

I've heard there's a certain brilliant designer who loves Brachs Autumn mix 😉 Hop on over and read my blog post on The Crafters Workshop about making it rain Candy Corn today ❤ 🎃 👻

Tonight's card, featuring scraps from the autumn wreath work I made yesterday. @gelpress gel prints with @tcwstencils using @tim_holtz dies from @sizzix Outlined using my favorite @posca_usa pens.

#wanderlust2021class Haven with @raemissigman My haven is nature and my art studio. Getting to combine the two makes my heart sing ♡ @gelpress gel prints cut into leaves using @tim_holtz dies from @sizzix Hand crumpled to look like real fallen leaf texture. I adore the cooler weather and stunning colors of autumn, don't you? The feathers are collected from my surroundings on my daily walks with my darling dog, Maggie.

My first ever in the round work. This represents my haven which I find in nature and in my studio. The circles represent the many overlapping cycles in our lives, and the connections between them all. Large and small details, refined and imperfect, messy moments interwoven throughout our lives. Yet through it all, we grow, resilient, despite our ever changing and evolving lives. #wanderlust2021class #eaclasses #thecraftersworkshop TCW955, TCW2314, TCW2316, TCW2317, TCW2300

Cue the spooky music... it's coming... playing with my new @tcwstencils and @tim_holtz @sizzix dies for Halloween. Trick or treat?!

Last night, I played with new @tcwstencils and stencil butters. Ever tried them on black cardstock? They are breathtakingly beautiful!

Pinterest Boards – Inspire

I use Pinterest as a jumping off point for reference images and inspiration. I’m a long time user of Pinterest, hence the many boards and pins. I have an artist’s mind which is attracted to many different paths and styles, which change frequently. You’ll find all kinds of great fodder in my boards, including my design projects for the TCW Design Team. Follow me on Pinterest to see what is inspiring me most at the moment @Teal Hare Creations.

Wanderlust 2020
Flip Book Video

This was my second year of participating in Everything Art’s Wanderlust year long, online art journaling course. This flip book video shows you the majority of my works I completed in 2020.

Every week is a different teacher and a different style and mediums. It’s a great way to learn a lot of new techniques and improve your mixed media art skills. All are welcome. The course starts at the beginning of January, annually. Come and wander with us!
