A place to commit thoughts and experiences while immersing yourself in a process of mindful creativity.
I love to source unique and interesting papers and materials for use in art journals and also create my own range

upcycling
Upcycling is the perfect way to get a little more use out of the things we no longer use.
We are all surrounded by accumulated and unwanted stuff. Get creative by looking for the potential in discarded items.
I love to find new uses for old stuff and enjoy incorporating upcycled materials in art journals and craft projects.
