Well the celebrations have come and gone and now it is time to get on with the next year. It has been an extremely busy 2010 and I didn't manage to get to my COLOUR CREATIONS blog much because I earnestly started my new full time work as a Freelance Photographer. My Laurette's Photography blog was also started here: http://laurettesphotography.wordpress.com/ so all my creative arts and crafts were put onto the back burner. Hopefully I will get some time in 2011 for more creative crafts as there is still lots I would like to do. Below you will find some of the crafts that I teach and give talks on at various places like Craft clubs and VLV etc. plus interspersed you will find some of my photographs. So take a look and hopefully you will find something that will encourage, inspire or just give you joy! Please feel free to leave a comment!
