So What happened at Senz?

Well…

I arrived on the Friday with Senz already in full swing. I was staying the the Racecourse hotel and motor park just over the road. I hadn’t planned to visit on Friday, but it was just there…..so off I went.

I was there for about 5 minutes before I realised that as far as promoting the Nina Bagley retreat I was in the wrong place. Although Senz is about bringing together a whole lot different craft shops for an orgy of shopping and lots of tempting classes to do as well, it tends to be very focused on Scrap booking and card making.

I didn’t find a lot of new stuff to buy, although I picked up some more eyelets and some glimmer mist. I realised I would be at a loose end on Sunday so I booked into a paverpol class at the last minute.

Saturday I went along to the Christmas Advent calendar class. I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. There were no new techniques, it was just a “paint by numbers” kind of project, but  I love the result…I brought it home to finish off, and altered the little boxes to my liking. I’ll show you a picture later…

Sunday. Paverpol. I had never heard of it before. It is a kind of PVA (white glue) substance that hardens fabric. You can create all kinds of different things…and they can even be left outside as garden sculptures….Cool!

Anyway. We made a lady…   and this is mine…

Hard to see, sorry.

I really enjoyed this class. mainly because I have a new product and new techniques to use on other stuff.

I think this one will probably end up out side in the garden.

and I have an idea for a magnificent dragon.

There were a couple of dragons on display that were lovely.

there is a link here somewhere..

Oh try this and look in the gallery.

There was a class making a wall hanging that looked interesting.

but now I’ve done a class I can see that you could use this a lot in mixed media techniques. A pity it is quite expensive.
