Member showcase

Good afternoon everyone I do hope you are all having a great weekend.

Recently Joanna & Janet of Mold club went away for a weekend workshop.  Part of the workshop was with Sweet Poppy stencils & another with Eileen Godwin of Eileens Crafty Zone.

At the last Mold meeting (November) Joanna & Janet took along the results of their work & Joanna has sent me loads of photos.  I will be putting them here gradually over the next few days.

Here are 4 of the items made by Janet, & as I would find it difficult to say anything about them - after the photos, I have used the text from Joanna's email.





Here is Joanna's email

"These are a few of the ones Janet made over the weekend - I didn't shoot all of them as some are very similar to the ones I did :)

The black one is with paste and micro beads; the other is paste over which, once dry, the stencil is replaced and inks added for colour.

The two completed cards are what we did with Eileen on the first morning and all the ladies at club on Thursday asked if we could do that one evening.  It'll take some thinking about but, if they want to, then I'm sure we can do it."

They are beautiful no wonder the ladies are interested.  I have an idea Joanna so will probably email you about it & thank you for sending the photos.

That's me for today.  'Bye.

Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C

Jayne Nestorenko

Good morning I was informed this morning, by Rita of Mold II club, that Jayne Nestorenko had passed away on Saturday evening after a long illness. I suspect that there may be some amongst you who do not know of her - but many who do. I followed Jayne's work for a long time & many of those lovely large wooden stamps that were around came into my collection beause of her enthusiasm & creativity. I particularly enjoyed using, & held many workshops at Daleside, to show how to use the Treasure Box stamps which were very popular; I cannot now remember who made those stamps & there were different sizes & you made different shaped boxes according to how many pieces you stamped.  Then of course you also had the matching medallion stamp to place on the top of the box. The crafting world is saddened by the loss of this lovely lady. Sleep peacefully Jayne.
