Workshops run from 10am until 3pm on a Saturday, and are for up to four students, to allow for individualised tuition. Full payment is required upon booking to secure your place. $175 tuition fee, includes all use of tools and materials.

 

Here's some wonderful photos of the Marketta official opening last weekend. Come along, we're open 7 days. There's a dozen boutique retailers and stalls in a shady space set behind Flutterbies cafe - so it's not visible from the road, you have to go on an adventure to discover it for yourself - Lots of lovely handmade treasures, vintage collectables, jewellery, chalk paint, eco lifestyle products, giftware, clothing, local gallery and so much more!

Want to know where the store's fruit & veg come from? Here's everyone picking watermelons! How good is country life!

And now for something completely different while I wait for the backing material for the chair to arrive...😂 I wanted to show you two things - that you can use Iron Orchid Designs transfers on sweet little side tables AND you can mix paint with clear wax to add colour to your paint job. So, I clear waxed over the transfer and paint, then mixed Burgundy and clear wax together to add a misty pinkness. You can get a similar effect by doing a wash before waxing, but if you’ve waxed and had second thoughts, this is an easy way to add colour as an afterthought. If you add too much you can take the colour back by rubbing with clear wax until you get the shade you want. It’s actually a bit darker pink than the photos show. I like it!
