Hi, my name is Janys Hydewhen the opportunity arises, I organise and/or participate in workshops for small groups of all ages where we delve into creative activities such as painting on silk, weaving, papercrafts and more. In here you will find my ramblings and tours of discovery into various crafting techniques the results of which I’m sharing as free downloadable tutorials and templates for you to try out for yourselves. Hoping you will enjoy what you find, even if only to pick up some inspiration of your own from the resources available.
