Hochanda Mondays- Fiona Randall

 

Morning all it's my turn to showcase a piece that I created that has been seen on Hochanda using Tando Products.

 

Today I'm Showcasing Birgit Koopsen's Fabulous Portable Art Case which will be showcasing again on Hochanda  With Di and Tando Creative this coming coming Friday September 13th.

 

 

I ran this as a workshop in April earlier this year and it was very popular. Everyone absolutely loved their Art Case.

 

 

Here is a side view of the Art Case open to store your paper and pens when travelling. It comprises of 2 inner compartments to take A6 paper sheets and pens/pencils.

Fold over the front cover to reveal a clipboard clip on the inside

 A great project to make and so useful for keeping supplies all in one place and compact for your travels.

Don't forget to catch Di on Hochanda on Friday September 13th to see this on the show as well as other variations created the Tando Design Team.

 

I hope you have enjoyed this re visit. Thanks for stopping by

Fiona.

Hochanda Monday

Hi, every Monday we are showcasing a piece that has been seen on Hochanda.  It could be an older piece or a newer piece...we will mix it up!!!!

Today I am showing you some little books that I made for a show last year when all the gorgeous MINI BOOKS were launched.  I don't think these have been blogged before which was very remiss of me.

So here we have 2 of the rounded end ones and 1 wrap round.

Although the curved end looks like it make it difficult to make the pages all you need to do is to draw around the cover.  Both this one and the Christmasy one have patterned paper pages with a light layer of tinting base.

This one I turned into a Post-It Note holder...just the right size!!!!! It would have had a pen or pencil included but I couldn't find one small enough in the time I had.

I hope you enjoyed this little look back, come again soon, Karen xxx

Same but Different - Layering Stencils by Nikki K

Morning all,

This week we have shown a few different ways to use the Layering Stencils, I created a folder with mini binder inside for Di's Hochanda shows a month or two ago, and thought I would share it with you now.

I painted the folder white first, then layers of  colour were added, with background stamping and crackle.

The Flourish stencil comes in 3 layers, and the middle bit for a mask if needed as well.  I used modelling paste for each layer, which builds your design in different area's to make it more 3d. 

The Leaves Layered stencil works similarly, and I did the little binder with this.  It even has the veins of the leaves standing out more. 

I painted the binder in teal, and added Metallic Lustre with my finger to age it.

Love how the mini binder fits in the larger folder pocket, a really handy folder and art case.

Best Wishes,

Nikki K
