I thought I'd share a cute little project that I have made using a mini beach hut kit that I bought on holiday recently.
It's also been a while since I've linked up with the weekly WOYWW group too (what's on your work Wednesday) over on Sarah's Craft Shed, as I haven't blogged since I've been back, so I've got some catching up to do.
On my desk are the contents of the kit which I bought on the Isle of Wight. I did see loads of these made up whilst there and thought they were a great little project to make up or just gift. The chalk paint is good quality and there was ample left over. These little kits are made by TrudibridgemanDesign.
I love diorama and had seen examples of these little huts with embellishments, so added a few of my own.
I made my seagull out of air dry clay ...he's a bit of a big bird....more penguin sized than seagull I think but perhaps he's had one too many chips. I do quite like his crooked little beak.
I then decided to create my own little surf board from a balsa wood craft tag that I had in my stash. It was thin enough to cut in half with a craft knife and then sand down to make two little surf board shapes.
I used one of my small stamps on the surf board and added a little sand and alpine grit to the base for a more seaside feel. I did have some tiny sea shells in my craft stash but I didn't think they were quite right for this project.
We had a fantastic break on this beautiful Island and was incredibly lucky with the weather too. I know need to get creating on a quirky dwelling for a little frog, which should be my next project.
Have a great day, whatever you have planned for yourself.
Happy Crafting
