Water Marks
Paint flowers with water, colour and texture
Author: Monique Day-Wilde
Publisher: Metz Press
Softcover 128 pages
ISBN: 978-1-920479-86-2
(AFRIKAANS: Water (verf) Kuns)

To most of us, the term "watercolours" conjures up images of soft

landscapes and floral scenes, with translucent washes overlaid by
muted ethereal tones. In this book Monique takes you beyond that, to a
world of rich and vivid colours as she introduces other water-based
media such as ink, fabric dye and coloured pencils complemented by
texture mediums for body and texture. Learn as you experiment with a
variety of both conventional and novel techiques and materials,
including wet-on-wet, bleeding,
mixing, salt, wax paper,
posterization, cling film, metallic
pens, wax, masking fluid and much
much more.

The step-by-step projects include

clear photos and good descriptions
of the techniques used, with
suggested variations to allow you to
personalise your artwork.

Fine artists will find this book useful,

crafters will find it absolutely
fascinating and will not want to stop
reading. Highly recommended.

 Dear all
I am such a great fan of Craftwise, but all
the work in this magazine makes me feel so

BABS
I am sending you a few photos of my shell art deco.
I am a partially paralysed 67 year young pensioner and this is
my passion.
I do wall tiles, wall and mirror deco and fridge magnets.
My problem is that I live in a small village on the KZN South
Coast and don't have an outlet for them as I cannot drive any
more.
I don't want to make a great profit. I just need to recoup my
expenses viz. Glue and varnish.

Sincerely

P.S. I look forward to your mag appearing on the supermarket

shelves with much anticipation every 2nd month! Dear Owen and Craftwise Elves
My name is Natalie Heydenrych and I live
and work in Bonnievale (the town with
the best kept secret). I have a tiny art and
coffee shop in Bonnievale.
I just wanted to show you all the light that
my husband and I make together!
Thanks for a lovely mag!

‘”FRIENDS ARE ANGELS WHO LIFT

US TO OUR FEET WHEN OUR WINGS
HAVE TROUBLE REMEMBERING
HOW TO FLY’

Have you ever had a feeling that you

are not alone, that there is a lot of
positive thoughts, energy, love and
care that surrounds you? My
painting is a very spiritual painting
for all my wonderful friends and
readers who, after the loss of my
husband, just embraced me with love
and spiritual guidance as if an angel
was holding my house in her arms -
watching over me and my four-
legged children. This angel is very
special to me, hanging in my
bedroom where I can see her last
thing at night and first thing in the
morning!

the angel so I painted a very
faded, but still dark enough
foreground for effect.

I have good news I must share with you dearest readers! My wonderful friend of
more than 20 years, Colleen Amos is coming to share my house with me and my
beloved home will be “Our Home” again. Her son, Gavin, made this all possible
for us. See - there are angels out there looking after us!

I just couldn't resist this project.

And besides, when you live down
the road from “The Scrap Queen”
and her daughter just happens to
be your daughter's “sister of the
heart”, it just seemed like the
perfect “bribe, beg, demand”
project to ask: “Can I learn from
you, use all of your amazing toys,
utilize your scrap room, steal your
supplies, copy your years of
experience …?“ kind of project! It
was great to do together and we
certainly also drank lots of tea in

your are working with because the pieces only fit together one

ITEM OF INTEREST

Everybody loves a success story. Especially when the successful peoples in question are women and have
decided to give up their 'day jobs' and enter into a realm where their passion takes centre stage. Read how these
amazing women believed in their dreams and leapt into a different kind of a life.

Mareli : Chloe Anna

Mareli, who had a very good job in a corporate environment started a hobby that was to
become a full time business. She says: '”I was never a good sewer in high school and
used to pay the neighbour to do my school projects. My home economics teacher
will never believe her eyes when she sees what I do today.” She started with
costume jewellery for friends and markets but this industry was not sustainable.
One day she took her mother's old sewing machine out of storage and spent the next
two days making a handbag. And she got hooked! A friend
asked her to make small handbags for her child's party gifts and a
new business was born.
“ It started with a kid's full apron, a pencil case and a stuffed
toy. All of them were “how-to” painting and beading
activities. Going to see my first potential stockist was
nerve wrecking but what a celebration when I had an order
in two seconds. I now stock local stores. I do all the
production myself, from raw material through to finished product, and I am not looking back. I love
what I do and to do it every day is a great blessing“. Mareli still works from home and when I wanted
to get a photograph, she was extremely embarrassed and said NO WAY! I guess at the heart of every
great crafter is a very messy home filled with 'projects'.

Sarah: Myang
Myang was founded by Sarah Massey-Hicks, a talented young designer
who started making babies shoes in her moms garage, with the help of
two part time seamstresses. Her designs, radiating a strong sense of
fun and unique style, caught the attention of Margi Sheard, a seasoned
entrepreneur with a love of design and a desire to become involved in
upliftment projects for women.
This was the start of a burgeoning business, with an ever expanding
range of products which have drawn admiration from international
markets since its official founding in 2012.

Myang runs a small design studio in Port Elizabeth where it employs

five full time staff members. A further 6 part-time employees are given
materials and training to create a range of hand made clothing and toys
for Myang at their homes. This allows them to continue caring for their
families whilst earning an income. Sarah says that she works harder
now, and in the beginning stages for less money, than she has ever
had to work in her life. But, she has stuck to her dream and a huge
success story that continues to grow. I asked Sarah what she always
has time for, she replied with a laugh, “ Pulling a weed out in
my garden, we have just bought a house and it is my new love.” She
is still dreaming big and says that one day she hopes to contribute
in a creative way to magazines and on-line forums, and longs for
excuses to make more things.

 Bridgette: Fab Scraps
The owner, Brigitte Wimbush,
has a fine art and graphic
design background has been
in the advertising industry
for over twenty years.
Spotting a gap in the
market, Brigitte started
the company as a
sideline venture to her
small advertising agency, with her sister Janine.
Astonishingly, within ten years, the pair has grown what started off as a small venture in a loft, into the
largest scrapbook manufacturer and supplier in Africa and supply dedicated scrapbooking, stationary
and craft stores worldwide.
They launched into America 5 years ago, and are now working with the largest craft distributor in
America. Amazon.com has also taken on their full collections. Fab Scraps now distribute in Canada,
Europe, Australia and New Zealand. They launched into fabric after numerous calls from large
American fabric houses to turn their designs into fabric. Their fabric is being distributed worldwide.
Fab Scraps has a very active, updated website. Every week projects are released on Facebook, on their web
page, Twitter and Pinterest, providing the retailer with project notes on unusual page layouts to off the page and unfinished
surface projects! Giveaways on Facebook happen weekly around the globe and their “YOU TUBE” channel inspires viewers with exciting
projects. They are truly an amazing international success story, all with love from Africa and Fab Scraps of course.

Tracy – Kisma Kreative

The foundation of Kisma is built on re-cycling. Using found objects and giving them new life –
anything from old computer parts to coffee tins and chocolate wrappers. Turing trash into
handmade, unique treasures. Tracy does what she loves, to create - every day! Tracy cannot
even remember a time when she was not creating, beading, painting, 'glassing', paper crafting
etc. Basically anything she could get her hands on.
Tracy began selling her creations at The Handmade Market and after a huge success and
exposure to many other like minded artists, she was inspired to open a store. In 2011, the
perfect venue became available and she began her journey.

Kisma and Co burst onto the creative pages of Grahamstown. Anything from handmade sweet
treats, to accessories, gifts, fine art and of course Tracy's creations. She says: “ I think that our
work is always a little bit different because we are a small town and we don't always have access
to the big craft and supply stores. We often make a plan and use what we have to create our own
unique items.” She adds that the store has become a meeting place for like minded people, who
previously might have thought themselves alone in their slightly eccentric creative endeavours.
They exchange patterns, ideas and know-how and they exchange and re-distribute up-
cycleable trash and materials. Tracy says that she always has time for a
chat with a customer and a happy exchange can keep her smiling all
day long. She dreams of one day being able to create everything she Well, there you have it creatives! Four major
wants, when the mood takes her. success stories and four very happy, brave
woman living their creativity every day. I
hope that you are inspired. Dig out your
talents and make a choice to be a happy,
successful dreamer.

Not good luck from me,

but rather happy creating.

shading, just touch the inner petals with
a mixture of water and paint. I used soft
lilac, soft heather and lilac for the petals
before I started painting in the small
veins on each petal with a rigger (or my
favourite nail art set). This set has the
most fantastic rigger brush which I can

The leaves of the hellebores are normally edged with a

maroon-pinky colour but mine is edged with a brighter
pink. Also use a light hand when you paint in the tiny
veins on the petals, it must just have a touch of colour.

6 I wanted to keep this painting very

simple because “less is more”. To me the
painting should be very pure but with all
the colour hidden in the shading. Lots to
think about and to observe and to get
your mind working. The streaks of light in
the painting was exciting as I kept
picturing the flowers in a forest with the
light falling on the white, simple little
flowers....

Till next time, enjoy!
