show & tell archive

SHOW & TELL – your chance to share your work with others

Posted on 30/12/2014 by julz  and updated numerous times!

This is the ARCHIVE of all the SHOW & TELL POSTS, and will be updated as new ones are published.  For more information about contributing to this Archive, please see the bottom of this page.

When I got an ‘annual report’ from wordpress at the end of 2014, on this site, the most visited pages were the SHOW & TELL FEATURES – especially the one on  DECORATING KROMSKI’S FANTASIA SPINNING WHEEL.   

I love the idea that something posted in May 2013 is still getting visitors and inspiring others. (In fact I got a request for the contact details from a Spinning Magazine, and the last I heard was that an article was about to be published which included Christine’s work!)

 

This site is intended as a resource for craftspeople

of all kinds, so please join in!

 

APOLOGIES: I keep meaning to update this archive – but haven’t got round to it yet – there are some more ‘show & tell’ posts that have been published since 2015!  To see them please click on “subjects I write about, and then ‘show & tell’.

THE ARCHIVE

 

The list below is not as long as I’d like it to be and hopefully I will be adding more  new posts soon:

5/2015  Some thoughts on a Gallery of Your Work: posted on 10 June 2015

With a link to the Gallery published on 31 May this is a muse on how to make the idea work – I came to the conclusion that I would keep the idea running, and asked you to continue to send in pictures of your work at any time, and I would put together new Galleries whenever I have enough pictures to make a Gallery Display – smile.

Further information on what kind of work and how to contribute are also  discussed – things may change – but please check this listing out before sending photos.

 

4/2015  A Gallery of Your Work– a sample listing posted on 3 May 2015

An open invitation to all customers and readers of this blog, to send in a photo of your work so I can put it up on a gallery that will hopefully      inspire others – smile
