Welcome Back
The Virtual Crafting Challenge theme for June 2010 is:
F
Great I hear you say, but now what? Well for those of you who would like a few ideas to get you started, here are some colours, products and techniques to help you choose, where you could go with this month’s theme. Feel free to use your own ideas for the letter F.
Colours
- French Navy
Products
- Fabric
- Fimo or other clay products
- Film – acetate etc
- Fantasy Film
Techniques
- Stamp into Fimo
- 3D with Fimo Beads etc
- Sewn Project
- Folding – think Origami, Tea Bag folding, Iris folding etc
Surfaces
- Film
- Fimo
- Fabric
- Felt
If you don’t have the products mentioned or know the techniques, try ‘Free Style’, ie; Anything goes.
The most important thing about this challenge is that you have FUN and explore. Don’t feel pressured to have a finished item at the end of the month. Explore different styles and techniques either in person, if you have the supplies, or through research, looking online.
You learn so much more when you take away the rules and just PLAY. Adapt this challenge to a creative style that interests you. Enjoy
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
Billie
