Craft Nouveau: May 2012
http://modelmakeandmend.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 17 May 2012. New name, new look! I had a day off today and suddenly decided that my blog needed a make-over. I found some lovely free backgrounds, headers and buttons at shabbyblogs.com. And with the help of their tutorials, did some editing on FotoFlexer. To customise my chosen header template. What do you think of the new look? I have also renamed my blog "Craft Nouveau". I have kept the original URL so that I don't lose any faithful followers :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bag a crafty char...

Craft Nouveau: June 2012
http://modelmakeandmend.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 10 June 2012. A customised post card for Father's Day. At last, I have made something. I haven't been in the mood for making of late. My new job is zapping all my energy both physically and emotionally. My brain is full of German and there just isn't any space left for creativity. However, with Father's Day only a week away, I thought I should have a go at a simple make. I didn't make a gift for my Dad this year, but I did find some lovely presents for him in the Highgrove. With Halloween and Mex...

Craft Nouveau: Colourful Czech bead creations
http://modelmakeandmend.blogspot.com/2012/07/colourful-czech-bead-creations.html
Sunday, 8 July 2012. Colourful Czech bead creations. It was a boiling hot day yesterday, but we decided to slap on some suncream and a hat and walk most of the way into town, admiring the art nouveau buildings along the way, to visit the new bead shop that just opened in Brno. Koralky. Lovely beads and equipment from www.koralky.cz. I treated myself to a bead board and went a bit '90s with a selection of matte rocaille beads. I also picked up some blue nylon and some silvery elements for some earrings.

Craft Nouveau: February 2012
http://modelmakeandmend.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 14 February 2012. Sweetie Geeky Valentine's Day. It's been a while since I last did a craft blog post, this is because I was in the middle of moving to the Czech Republic. I also couldn't do any crafting as most of my craft supplies were in storage in Strasbourg and a large box are still sitting in the UK. However, I felt like making my own Valentine's card for my beloved yesterday, so wandered into town to see what the Brno stationery/craft store had to offer. Nom, nom, nom. With Halloween and ...

Craft Nouveau: Parisian prettiness
http://modelmakeandmend.blogspot.com/2012/07/parisian-prettiness.html
Saturday, 14 July 2012. I enjoy making jewellery for myself, but it's even nicer to make it for other people. Here are two little bracelets that I made for my French friend using rocaille beads and charms. As I know she loves mushrooms, I wrapped it up accordingly :). 18 July 2012 at 19:12. Thats really pretty wrapping. Cant beat a nicely wrapped present - it sets up the really nice present inside! 19 July 2012 at 20:41. You could have a job in Harrods with wrapping like that. 21 July 2012 at 08:45.

Craft Nouveau: April 2012
http://modelmakeandmend.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 15 April 2012. Thrifty ways to get creative with Ikea frames. When I was last down at Ikea, I couldn't resist the bargain that was these 3 frames for the equivalent of a pound. RAM frames from Ikea. They do the job if you want a postcard-sized frame, but are pretty dull - just a plain wood finish and a little rough around the edges. I decided some customisation was in order! I do like to be beside the seaside. And decided to put my dusty old stamp albums to good use. I picked out several purple s...

Craft Nouveau: Acrylic on canvas
http://modelmakeandmend.blogspot.com/2013/05/acrylic-on-canvas.html
Wednesday, 8 May 2013. After a longish break, I wanted to share my latest painting with you. Last Wednesday was a public holiday in the Czech Republic, so I spent the day painting. It was so nice to get absorbed in something creative. I decided to paint the early morning sun over the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is a view from the yacht during a holiday to Sicily last summer. Good memories captured in paint :). Mid-way through. Getting the sea right was not so easy. 8 May 2013 at 18:12. 8 May 2013 at 18:37. Thrift...
