Happy Accident Studios

Happy New Year, everyone! 2019 is the year of the re-branding and I have a new Website, page, Twitter and Instagram account.

I would love it if you would follow me over to my new social media!
Go to http://voicesheartsandhands.co.uk and you will find all my social links in the top left corner.

Please post to my page to introduce yourself if you like, tell me what you enjoy doing!

There's a lot coming up this year and beyond. Don't miss it! xx

I'm re-branding. If you want to stay with me, please follow Voices Hearts and Hands. :)

I will be at Unravel & Unwind C.I.C from 10-4 today. Drop-in crafting from £3.

Action Stations for the multi-step stamping Make & Take! It's a mini-workshop for a fiver, bookable through Unravel & Unwind C.I.C. Mondays and Thursdays 11-2, not during holidays. Check the events page for info and a booking link. Days and times not good for you? Get in touch and I'll see what I can arrange.

When you rescue paper from the recycling because you love the colours.

Happy to be helping these ladies out!

I finished my Lost Souls Shawl today. I only had three rows to do and that was it! So a one-week turnaround, and also sharing my time with my paper projects. I really enjoyed this make. Google it, you'll find a free pattern if you want to make your own.

Playing with mandala die-cuts and ProMarkers today.

Little Macaron Motifs. Bust that stash!!!

I've been playing with die-cut paper mandalas, cutting them out in white and colouring them with my ProMarkers. If you'd like to join in, drop by Unravel & Unwind C.I.C on Monday, 3 September, anytime from 10-4.

The Lost Souls Shawl. I have parked all my WIPs to get going on this... I just realised time was getting short for Halloween!

One freeform teddy bear! It was a labour of love. I'm starting another one now... It's not for sale and I just couldn't make them for sale, they take too much time. What I can do, however, is direct you to the pattern and walk you through it. I will find the link to buy the pattern and put it in comments.

My first full on video for Geeketeers is up!

I'm enjoying some time in my craft space at home today. I am experimenting with some techniques I am learning from the Abyssimo online art course I started. The hardest part for me is leaving something to dry. I'm too impatient! I can't touch this until tomorrow.

All the work I've been doing trying to clear my WIP list is because of this- The Kiss Me Quick CAL is underway! 🌈

Great News!! I have officially been given the go-ahead to take future commissions making bespoke variations of Claude the Octopus.

He has been sitting in the window over at Unravel & Unwind on High Street, Rochester, and people are falling in love left and right...

Public Service message:. Claude the Octopus is not a hat. He is also not a toy. Do not irk, disappoint or annoy Claude the Octopus.

I have fallen in with a crowd. A geeky crowd. There's bound to be trouble. Our fearless leader, Illisia Adams explains in this video our current project.
