Although they are all collage courses they are all quite different. Above is a collage on canvas made up of lots of different images all with the same theme, here it is dogs but you could choose anything that takes your fancy. You will paint the canvas to give an interesting background texture then apply images and then embellish with buttons, jewels, glitter etc etc then paint again to give more texture and distress/aging effects. A fun way to bring images together.
This lovely folding padded collage uses layering of textiles some transfer work and copying images onto cotton and organza, each panel tells a little story. Some machine and hand stitching. 
This was truly a joy to create, lots of hand stitching, buttons, ribbon, photos, paper, lace well you can bung on anything that takes your fancy!All the courses will come with a basic 'kit' for you to build on and I have plenty of images you can copy but I would encourage you to look around for your own 'themes'. The sky is the limit really.
If there is anyone out there that may be interested please leave a comment as I would love some feed back, am I on the right track?

Hi Jane, I absolutely love the first collage. I tried some myself last year, but one can't be good in everything! So I think it's a wonderful offer to share your unique ideas and skills. If only you would run the courses when I'm over there! Let me know, I'm your first customer.
Love, Gertie
Just what I need but you are at the other end of the world (from the Midlands)!I'm sure you will get lots of takers!

I too love the first collage I only wish I was fortunate to live in Cornwall instead of up here in the North East, never mind I'll just have to dream, Love Lucey xx
The collages are lovely, I am sure it would be a great success!
Yesterday I bought a card in The Painted Bird in St. Ives. It was called New Hat Old Bird. I was drawn to the beautiful illustration and humour. Today I visited your blog and noticed that it was by YOU! I recognised your name and then it clicked! How lovely!
Yes, your courses sound great! Where in Cornwall are you for the courses? I'm St. Ives

I'm doing a swap with Lemonade Kitty and I'd love to come to your show..it looks amazing..I am going to visit your country soon I hope! Keep up the beautiful work! I enjoy seeing your talents!
Hi there, Happy Easter! Just catching up on blogging and visiting blogs I love. Your courses look VERY appealing, I'd love to do one some day. Meanwhile, if you'd like to send a poster to the shop I'll gladly pop it in the window.
