Hi everyone! My latest blog post is progression photos of a mama and baby elephant diamond art… hope you enjoy! 😄

This diamond art took me a few weeks to complete. They are very time-consuming, all the individual beads to stick, however it is so therapeutic. Put some music on, and I’m in my element. I have purchased a new diamond art of a magical, colourful ‘tree of life’, so that’ll be fun to get going! 😀

And here is the finished piece! 🐘🐘

Thank you as always for taking the time to read/view! 💕💕

Now we’re in summer, expect some more upcycled furniture for the Children’s Air Ambulance store! I’ve got a new pub painting at the beginning of August too..so watch this space 😜😜

Much love, Lauren xx

Hi everyone! My latest blog post is progression photos of an upcycled hat/coat hanger, for the Children’s Air Ambulance..hope you like! 😁

I started by gently washing the hat/coat hanger, and hand sanding. I painted a metallic gold, with three coats. Also, the tip I jazzed up by painting purple, to give it a bit of character and uniqueness. To finish, I sprayed protective lacquer to seal… and here is the end result;

I am pretty pleased with how this one has turned out.. I think it’s full of elegant charm and sophistication.. Hope you agree, haha! 😆

My next upcycling project for the Children’s Air Ambulance is perhaps a girlie dressing table, and I’m also in the process of completing another diamond art 🎨 💎.. so watch this space!

Thank you as ever for reading/viewing.. All the best, Lauren xx
