I've been actively discovering my creative side since 2007 and enjoying every minute of it. I started my journey with card making and have expanded into mixed media creations. I love paint, stitch, fabric and paper and sometimes all of them together. My style is quite versatile as I love everything from cute to grunge and I also make a range of items such as cards, tags, books, art journals, pictures, altered items - well lots of different things! You can see examples of the different styles I play with under the link list in the side bar to the left.
At the end of 2008 I won The Papercraft Essentials Papercrafter of the Year competition and have been lucky enough to have a number of publications since then and you can check out the list below. I've also been honoured to be on a number of Design Teams also listed below.
I'm available for workshops / teaching and many of the items you see are available to purchase. I am happy to take on commissions, please just get in touch. I am also happy to consider requests for product and book reviews or sponsorship here on my blog as long as the items / company would appeal to my art and craft readership. Please just get in touch if you need more information (kim(dot)dellow(at)gmail(dot)com).
