Introducing Julia Baker Our New Guest Design Team Member

Hello everyone, today sees the first of three posts from a new Guest Design Team member, Julia Baker. I am sure that you will all giver her a warm welcome to the Chocolate Baroque family. We asked Julia to tell us a little bit about herself, and to provide a photograph, so that you could put a face to the name. without further ado, here it what Julia had to say:

Name: Julia Baker

Position Required: Design Team Guest

Living In: The New Forest, near Southampton.

Profile:

I have been crafting all my adult life, starting with sewing, kinitting, and crochet when the girls were young.

I moved onto scrapbooking and photography about 25 years ago and have since progressed onto mixed media art and design projects, as well as stamping and journal making.

Over the years I have created altered books, altered Barbie Dolls, work-top mosaics, shadow boxes, murals, large and small canvases and even a few mannequins - decorated with mixed media and stamps.

I even once used bubble wrap and silver spray paint to decorate the hallway and stairs in our house!

Other than crafting in general I enjoy reading, dance music, gardening and birdwatching in the New Forest and along the coast. 

Instructions for Journal Page:

Background created from three shades of Brusho.

Distress Stain lightly sprayed through stencil.

When dry - use texture paste through brick stencil.

Leave to dry.

Stamp houses with Black Versafine and colour with Oxide Inks.

Draw in borders with fine liners and outline a few details.
