Make an Alice Table Centrepiece
Whether its an Alice themed birthday party or even an Alice wedding with some cardboard, paint and tissue paper you can make a simple but stylish centrepiece to decorate a table. You start by cut cutting out some leg shapes from an old cardboard box. Fold the legs at the top as you will need this to fix them to a base. Once you’re happy … Continue reading Make an Alice Table Centrepiece
Make an Alice Themed Garland
So first crafty idea in my Alice series – an Alice themed Garland, perfect for decorating a room for a birthday or even a wedding. I went a bit overboard making this garland so it ended up being much longer than I needed, in fact I’ve ended up cutting it in half to create two separate strings. To make the garland you will need coloured … Continue reading Make an Alice Themed Garland
Make a Party Invite for an Alice Themed Party
If you’re planning on an Alice themed party here’s a simple idea for some themed invites. I started by typing up the text I wanted to use on a computer to help make sure that the spacing looked neat. I then copied the text by hand onto a piece of card. Once you have the text laid out you can start by adding the illustrations. … Continue reading Make a Party Invite for an Alice Themed Party

RA Summer Exhibition
Yesterday I was in London on a business conference and was lucky enough at the end of the day to get time to skip across town in time for last entry to the summer exhibition. I was planning a visit the weekend after next but as there is also a Giacometti exhibition on at the Tate Modern that I wanted to visit I thought dragging … Continue reading RA Summer Exhibition
London in the Sunshine
I had the pleasure of an earlier than usual start this morning as I travelled down to London to attend a marketing conference. Despite the slightly bleary eyes, the trip was worth it for the amazing views alone – London basking in the sunshine. Continue reading London in the Sunshine
Festivals
A couple of years ago my stepson was heading off to his first music festival and wanted something a bit different for the occasion. We’d watch the Michael Fassbender film Frank and he wanted a mask for the event. It was a bit a challenge but with the help of a cheap beachball and a load of paper mache and paint I managed to create something … Continue reading Festivals
Happy Birthday Egon Schiele
One of my favourite artists was born today in 1890. Sadly Egon Schiele sadly he died at the age of 28 from Spanish flu but in his brief lifetime he created some of the most moving, raw and powerful paintings and sketches that I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately I’ve never been lucky enough to see his work in an exhibition but I have indulged in a … Continue reading Happy Birthday Egon Schiele
