Winter finger puppets

I

A lovely Christmas present x 

 

Here are two of the puppets I made from the set. I think the eyes look really sad, might try tiny buttons instead. 

Note book making

 

I cut each page 6 on an A2 sheet. I had stamped notes and used sporting images from my friends team. The images came from a CD on EBay and then I printed them at boots onto photo paper. I have tried to make each page different. 

Christmas wrapping paper

This year I decided to print my own wrapping paper using this great stamp I found in EBay. 

I stamped in a black ink but then coloured in the gifts with Sharpie markers and as it's Christmas gave the hedgehog a red nose. 

I then used my alphabet stamps I got last year from EBay to personalise the paper with who the gift is to and from. 

The twine tie and tags are all different on my gifts as I used a set from John Lewis  

Lino block printing of Xmas cards

So I went to a workshop at Stag and Bow, Forest Hill www.stagandbow.com and learnt how to create a lino print. We used oil based printing inks. 

My finished card 😃. 

Test print of hedgehog design.

Current wool I'm using

This is such a great colour and wool to work with I took a pic so that I can remember it for future
