A little Cariena magic!

In Afrikaans, we say "as dit pap reen, moet jy skep". In English, we say "make hay while the sun shines". In Cape Town, we say "when there is a convention at Spier, get Cariena Basson to attend a Pics 'n Tales class...

Thank you for a great morning, Cariena! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Have a look at our FB page for few pics...

A while ago, I asked Cariena and Jowilna Nolte to each complete a Pics 'n Tales mixed media album which we had recently launched. Imagine my delight when both such talented scappers agreed to do this! I felt like a child the night before Christmas when I went to the post office to collect my parcels...

The album was titled "Free to be...", and the idea was to use different mediums and techniques all in one album.

Since Cariena visited us this week, I will share her album with you first. So sit back and enjoy the show!

 
The album covers are canvases that were painted, stamped and then some. Then the lovely Tim Holtz lady found a home on the cover. Each of Cariena's pages shows something that she is "free to be". Really an inspirational take on the theme, reminding us of all those things that we so easily take for granted.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks Cariena! We hope you enjoyed playing with our kit!
