Hi there again. Today I'm sharing a cute little project that I made for my son's girlfriend for her birthday. I asked her what she wanted and she said paint me a cute girl!

So here is my guide to painting a little cute canvas with some pebeo paints and some crayons and modelling paste. There's all the requirements in the guide.

Using Pebeo Prisme Fantasy paints on different embellishments

I'm so excited to be back with a great Pebeo paints tutorial

After some problems with technology I'm back and eager to share a few projects I've been doing whilst sorting out my computer!

Here's a picture of one of the wooden flower embellishments i had fun decorating recently. Below I have created a snapguide for you to follow and see the possibilities using the Pebeo Prisme Fantasy paints with their unique properties.

I have since used the embellishments on cards and I'm designing a special frame for my niece with the flowers I painted with the Prisme Fantasy Paints. 

Have some fun exploring the world of these wonderful paints and their unique properites that give such a beautiful and unique result every time you use them.

100 Circles in 100 days project

Hello it's Peta here again on the blog today.

As part of my study into art therapy I have embarked on a project to create 100 circles in 100 days. The idea of this exercise is to encourage students to start using a circle a day, a simple shape, to represent how they are feeling each day. The circles evolve into a beautiful canvas over 100 days and before you know it students have a wonderful artwork that represents their life over the last 100 days!

Currently I have a bunch of students from all over the world doing this project with me right now. I'm loving using my pebeo acrylic paints and setaskrib markers to work wonders on the canvas. Here is where I am at right now.

I'm finding that sometimes i don't get a circle completed because i'm waiting for paint to dry! However, I know what I'm intending to do so as you can see i've started whiting out some circles to use as a background for the days painting or drawing. I've also used to scraps of fabric so far and on one it has words that meant something to me on the day i glued it on the canvas and the other was blank calico that i then used my Setaskrib marker to write on as i wanted words rather than pictures for the days' circle.

You can vary the sizes and orientation of the circles. Yesterday i used a felt round pot holder to paint an impression on the canvas. I do this because I love tea and i often sit my teapot on something similar to this.

To get you started I have compiled a snapguide short course below. You can use any size canvas. this one is 26 x 26 inches square.

Rejuvenating old tired jewellery with Pebeo Prisme Fantasy paints

Hello my crafty crusader peeps! I have the perfect project for girls for the school holidays, a way to simply and cheaply. I fell in love with these beautiful paints at a craft fair some time ago and now I get the opportunity to play with them and show you all how amazing they are!

Let me make this clear. These are NOT water based paints! They are enamel paints that need turpentine to clean up so do NOT use brushes, use only disposable toothpicks and implements and scrap paper to apply these paints. The honeycomb effects gradually appear as the paint cures but are not present at the time of application.

To learn how to make wonderful jewellery here's my snapguide tutorial.

Using Mepxy Markers and coloured pencils to create depth in your pictures

Earlier this year I experimented using a few different layering methods to colour an image. I had invested heavily in colour pencils for my Christmas gifts and wanted to find ways to use them with the other media I had on hand to create vibrant images with great depth of colour.

Today I'm going to give you some tips on how to combine Mepxy markers with some colour pencils to create a wonderfully vibrant and beautiful image. 

Here's my snap guide below to take you through some steps in the creation of this project. Just a work here. The peacock tail has by far the most work in it and for this particular image that's what took the longest time to create.

Have fun with this project I loved the result I got with the deep colour of the markers and the additional depth I added with the pencils.

Gelli Printing with Pebeo Paints and Catalyst Tools

Gelli Printing with Pebeo paints and Catalyst tools

Hello, it's Peta here again to show you how to create some unique and original prints on paper (but you can also print on fabric) using a gelli plate and some pebeo paints. I've also used some stencils and some household items to make marks on my prints. 

Check out How to Gelli Print With Pebeo Paints by Crafty Crusaders on Snapguide.



Have lots of fun with this process and I can tell you that the pebeo paints work really well with the printing plate and I could get about 3 prints from each application which is really economical. 

Using Pebeo SetaSkrib Markers and a stencil to create a unique design on fabric

Using Pebeo SetaSkrib markers and a stencil to create a one of a kind design. 

Here is the Video.....

Today I've used a stencil to start my design and used the Pebeo markers to colourise the design into something unique.

I used a stencil because that is an easy way for anyone to achieve the looks they desire and stencils are cheap and readily available.

It was a simple exercise to colour the design with the markers and in the video i show you different techniques in using the markers to create effects for your design.

Enjoy the video!
