About Poetic Scraps

Poetic Scraps

I make things with paper and paint, held together with a little bit of glue and lots of love!

I've always been a crafter! From fuzzy felt and raffia baskets to knitting and sewing, and a multitude of other crafting interests in between. But I never considered myself artistic. I was quite frankly rubbish at art in school. About 16 years ago I began an interest in scrapbooking, which, with its fancy patterned papers, took the place of sewing. Just sticking photos on pretty paper wasn't enough for me though. Even adding rubber stamping wasn't making it "me" enough! Now I combine making mini scrapbook albums with other handmade journals, sometimes including a bit of my poetry, sometimes my own photography, and sometimes using my favourite paint technique - finger painting!! I rarely make the same thing twice, and often there's a little wonkiness to my journals, because I'm not a machine. Therefore, everything I make is one of a kind. Everything is make with care and lots of love!
Our home has recently been taken over by a cocker spaniel puppy, who has also now decided my armchair is his napping chair - just as well I don't sit down much during the day. As well as the papercrafting, I write poetry, enjoy walking in woodlands, and reading.
