W itch Crafting! I thought it would be nice to share some of my Witchy inspired crafts here on my blog. I have been crafting almost as long as I have lived on this planet 😆 I think I probably crafted before I could even talk or walk! I have crafted for fun, as a professional maker running my own business. I have done tutorials for magazines, talks to groups and now tinker with the odd online video short. I have crafted with many mediums including miniature making, mask making, jewellery, sewing, Millinery, paper crafts, painting, card making monoprinting, mixed media crafts, needle felting, collage, paper mache sculpture, Artist Trading card art. I have been a chocolatier even done cake decorating, creating character cakes way before it became the norm to do unusual designs! Whatever crafting I do I do seem to be attracted to themes such as Folklore, fairies, Witches, toadstools and mushrooms, Gothic horror and Botanicals. I hope you enjoy my Gallery I hope to post more of my work her...
