Creative Jumpstart

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to tell you about a fantastic month long, on-line course called Creative Jumpstart. It is run by the very talented Nathalie Kalbach (www.nathaliesstudio.com)  She has lots of her crafty buddies along giving really helpful videos on using all the house hold things we have around us to make art. 
This is what I had after watching Anna Dabrowska video. 

I used an old canvas
Firewood kindling
Old plastic vitamin bottle
Tissue paper from a gift I received
Old lace lying around for years, that I never knew what to do with.
String
Butterfly off a Christmas cracker
Plastic net from oranges
Cardboard roll from Christmas wrapping paper
Cardboard from cereal packet
Old paint brushes that had gone hard
Old tube of paint, also hard from age
A heart that had been wrapped around a gift 
Yawn are you still with me?
DecoArt gesso
Lumminarte Primary Elements paint
DecoArt paint




Hope you like it! x
