Welcome to today's guest designer, Nikki !

Today we are welcoming Nikki of Pawsitively Creative as our Guest Designer. Nikki was the winner of the Technique School challenge and therefore asked to join us for a day. Let's move on to hear from Nikki.



Hello! 

Bio-Hello y'all! Just a quick little introduction about myself. I am a Veterinary Technician for my paying job and a mixed media artist for fun. I enjoy making mini top hats and designs out of the norm. Halloween and Christmas are my favorite holidays! Happy Halloween y'all and Carpe Diem! Hugz! ~Niki aka Pawsitively Creative

This is Niki aka Pawsitively Creative. Thank you for having me as a guest! This is awesome sauce! 
  • How long have you been crafting for ? 
  • I started mixed media about 4 years ago and have expanded since then. Off the page and altered items are among my fave and making mini top hats!  
  • Who or what inspired you to start crafting? 
  • My husband got me back into it after I broke both of my arms. He is the reason I tried mixed media and I thank him greatly for pushing me in a new direction. 
  • What is your favourite technique? 
  • Anything relating to rust. I'll try coffee grounds, cinnamon, rusting powders, and any paints that will result in a rusty look.
  • What excites you most about crafting ?
  •  I never know what the finished design will be. I don't really plan my designs. Sometimes I have an idea and just go with it. 
  • What is your 'go to' craft product and why ?
  • Hmmm, I use so many but probably craft foam.. You can make any shape you want, it is not expensive and you can even make it look like real leather! 
  • Who would you most like to take a class with and why ? 
  •  Probably Finnabair. She has some wonderful texture on her designs and her grungy style is something I enjoy. 
  • What is your favourite style of crafting i.e. journalling, layouts, altered items etc. 
  • My favourite style is mixed media and altered items. I think the two combined are my absolute favourite. An old clock, a glass bottle, the reverse side of a canvas-yeppers, that is fun!
 Here are 2 of Nikki's favourite projects to share with you:

    Great to learn more about you, Niki - I didn't know you'd had a double-arm-break. What a triumph to come back to creating with your amazing mixed-media journey.
