It’s been one of THOSE weeks!

When stress steals your sleep, you might as well put insomnia to work!

A few sleepless nights, some oil pens and a slightly overworked imagination later… voilà!

Who needs beauty sleep when you can create art instead?

Four family members , four gingerbread houses and enough Christmas creativity to give Santa’s elves a serious inferiority complex!

Our latest challenge was to transform ordinary wooden houses into delicious-looking gingerbread creations — without the calories, sticky fingers or temptation to nibble the roof!

Each house has its own personality, and every craftie brought something different to the decorating table.

Our focus was on painting techniques, creativity, colour combinations and transforming a simple structure into something magical .

After the paint,came the embellishments then the fairy lights to light up our Gingerbread house boxes.
I do see many a sweet stash being hidden in here.
Well done crafties

Playing with light and staging today, to remove studio chaos from the background of the last two week’s large Christmas floor ornaments made .
This year i wanted bigger ,bolder and to bring in more traditional African inspiration in my decorations .
I love these big pieces and still have two giant ones to be added in the next few weeks .
Thank you All4Woodcrafts for making these big woodcuts for us to create on.

Heaven has officially become a little more colourful at Westcoast Creative Studio!

Our six talented arties were given the same angel design on blank woodcuts,but what emerged was a wonderful collection of completely different artistic personalities!

From bold African-inspired patterns and intricate mandalas to elegant antique finishes, rainbow explosions and whimsical colour combinations, these angels certainly didn’t come from the same heavenly production line.

Across the group, we explored colour, pattern, texture paste, precision and decorative painting techniques, with each student bringing their own interpretation to life.

Six angels. Six creative journeys. Six reasons to celebrate handmade art!
Woodcuts supplied All4Woodcrafts
chalk paint and texture paste Granny B's Old Fashioned Paint.

Well done arties on creating these traditional and unique 45cm+ angels.

Nutcracker No. 2 has joined the ranks!

My latest handcrafted GIANT Nutcracker is bursting with bold colours, intricate patterns, glitter and plenty of personality!

Standing proudly alongside his smaller companion, he’s the second in my trio of handmade Nutcrackers!

One more to go before the regiment is complete!

Who says Christmas has to be traditional? Not in my studio!

Thank you All4Woodcrafts for cutting this wonderful trio for us .
We had great fun on stretching the imagination to make ours traditional .
Mixed media at its best !🌸
The other arty will add her African inspired nutcracker later .

Watch this space to see our middle size nutcracker next week.

LIFE’S A BEACH… AND SO IS OUR ART!

Five little beach huts, five big personalities and a whole lot of creative chaos!

Our talented artists at Westcoast Creative Studio have been busy transforming humble miniature beach huts into colourful little seaside masterpieces!

What makes these creations special isn’t just the adorable surfboards, palm trees, boats and nautical accessories. It’s the painting techniques, colour combinations, textures and individual artistic flair that each student brought to the project.

Woodcuts supplied by Overthemoonsue and painted with Granny B's Old Fashioned Paint.

What happens when six creative arties are handed ordinary glass bottles, air dry clay ,a collection of art materials and permission to go completely bonkers?

A magnificent line-up of beautifully bizarre characters!

Welcome to the latest creations from Westcoast Creative Studio, where empty bottles have suddenly developed eyes, noses, lips, attitudes and, in some cases, rather questionable expressions!

What impressed me most was how six people working with the same basic concept produced six completely different characters.

There were no identical faces, no shortage of imagination and certainly no beauty standards being followed here!

Well done to all six students! Every bottle tells a story, and every artist has left a little piece of their personality.

THE NUTCRACKER NUTTERS HAVE ARRIVED!

Meet Sir Cerise Sparkle and General Rediculous — two rather distinguished gentlemen with impressive moustaches, questionable expressions and absolutely no sense of humour!

One is dressed in fabulous cerise, the other in commanding red, and both seem convinced they’re in charge of Christmas!

But the army is still recruiting! Each gentleman will eventually have two matching comrades, making two magnificent sets of three.

Hand-painted, glittered, blinged and bursting with attitude!
Woodcraft nutcrackers supplied All4Woodcrafts

A great way to spend a day with a dear friend .
