This is yet another blog on the frequent musings of an obsessed craftist..
I am the daughter of a secret knitter / embroiderer / quilter (that was my dad) and a painter / gardner / sculptor and clandestine jam maker (my mum). So it stands to reason that I would spend my life dipping in and out of a world of crafty obsessions.
I wish to remain anonymous, not just because it's fun to do so, but because I have an aversion to posting on social media anything that might incriminate me in future lawsuits (that of course are craft related).
So, I therefore heartily introduce myself as The Collagist (a pretentious but I think, catchy name) and use this blogging platform to share some interesting craft ideas, tips and general thoughts.
In the meantime, here is a photo of today's craft obsession.
A repurposed crackled frame, made for my husband's birthday for a photo of our kids.
The base of the wooden frame was covered in Tim Holtz Distress Paint (Weathered Paint) which was then lightly sanded on the edges to show the pine wood. After which I covered in Tim Holtz' crackle paint in Rock Candy and then rubbed on some Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Finally it was sealed with a varnish. I'm still debating wether to add any 'shabby chic' embellishments ??
