Jo Sonja Club - Wednesday

This glass dish would make a beautiful Christmas gift. It is soooo easy to decorate especially once you have been to one of our Jo Sonja Workshops and Lynn has demonstrated this wonderful craft!

We have monthly Jo Sonja Workshops, the next one being on the 13th November and a mid week Jo Sonja Workshop, scheduled for this Wednesday, 3rd November (click here for Jo Sonja Workshop details).

So rather that just admire.......why not book yourself into a workshop and make some lovely Christmas gifts for your friends.

Jo Sonja Craft Club

Flutterby Crafts would like to welcome Maria Arkwright who will be running the Saturday, Jo Sonja Craft Club.

Maria was initially a card maker and has been to many workshops over the years. However, her crafting skills took a turn over a year ago when she attended her 1st Jo Sonja Workshop weekend. Maria read the information about the workshop which had been posted here on the blog. At the very last minute, Maria realised she had a free weekend and booked herself onto the Jo Sonja workshop.

I don't think Maria will mind me saying but Jo Sonja paints, mediums and napkin art have almost become an obsession......if there is any household article that can take a lick of paint Maria will Jo Sonja it!

Here are 2 examples of her stunning work........

with Jo Sonja paints and mediums.

So, if you have not tried this class, why not join Maria at her monthly Jo Sonja workshops and give it a go.

She will help you make the most of your projects using her extensive knowledge and expertise, inspiring you to decorate lots of household objects.

If you would like to see our Jo Sonja Gallery of projects and a lovely Day Out Plaque, also by Maria please click here.

Napkin Art!

The Jo Sonja stand at the Art Stamps Fair last weekend was buzzing! Lots of people where picking up and stroking the projects that were on display. The visitors were amazed at the lovely projects that had been simply made with Jo Sonja paints and Napkins.

Which leads me nicely to these simple wooden beads.........

So you might be thinking that these look like plain ordinary wooden beads.......well take a look below at how Lynn decorated these beads with Jo Sonja paints and Napkins!

I can tell you that these look absolutely stunning and Lynn has them in the shop if you would like a closer look.

It is truly amazing the things Lynn comes up with to decorate with paints and napkins with stunning results.

If you visit our new Jewellery Gallery you will see a photo of the whole necklace.

If you would like to learn more about Jo Sonja paints and the art of using napkins why not take a look at our workshop details here.

Napkin Art and Glass Bowls!

Look what the ladies at the Jo Sonja Craft Club
decorated with napkins!

Well, did we have fun yesterday afternoon in the Jo Sonja's craft club. Everybody had a G&T - only yesterday afternoon that stood for Glass & Tile Medium. There was torn serviettes all over the place, but the results were stunning. The photos were taken by Joanna part way through the afternoon, before the bowls were dried and cleaned up, but you can see what a wonderful job the ladies did.

Mind you there is always one that is slower than everybody else (it's alright Erica, I won't say who it is!!) hence the fact that everybody is sitting back with arms folded watching the hard work of one person.

Ladies at our Jo Sonja Craft Club.

Why not go and check out more projects in our Photo Gallery in the Jo Sonja and Napkin Art gallery.

Jo Sonja Craft Club

Look what I found in the shop the other day............

While Lynn is at a show in Edinburgh this weekend I have taken a photograph of this lovely jug for you to all take a look at. But, I must remember to replace it back on the shelf before she notices it's gone!!!!!

Lynn decorated this ordinary household, plain white jug and transformed it using Jo Sonja paints and napkins.

Just a little reminder that the Jo Sonja Craft Club will be held next Saturday, 12th June. A little bird told me that Lynn will be decorating glass bowls.

So, if you want to join in you will need to book your place and choose a glass bowl to decorate as soon as possible.

Jo Sonja Craft Club - look!

Look what we made at the 1st of the Jo Sonja Craft Clubs held last Saturday. We all had such FUN! Lynn showed us how to decorate canvass bags and pumps.

Here we are concentrating on applying the base paint and napkins to our projects.

And, here are our lovely canvass shoes and canvass bags. We all chose different napkins and we all agreed how stunning they turned out!

I think Lynn may have a few people hooked and I can't wait for the next Jo Sonja Craft Club next month when we will be decorating glass bowls.

If you want to join in , hurry up and book your place because I can see this is going to be a very popular monthly workshop.
