a day with JOFY


What a great day with the talented Jo Firth Young at the Birds in the Barn, Great Tey.

Stamping on canvas can be a bit tricky, so it is always great to learn about the different techniques that clever peeps come up with. JOFY being a very, very clever peep, used cardboard, stripped off some bits around the edges to show those little fluted bits, then used that as the base.

We painted the cardboard with PaperArtsy acrylics then stamped, painted and cut out some of Jo's flowers from some of her very own JOFY stamps. 

The fab arrangement was then mounted on the canvas (which had been given a quick lick of fresco acrylic paint)





The group's collective efforts. Well done to everyone and thank you to Jo.



I am now off to have a play and be creative with cardboard.....

watch this space!
