Loves to create: Anything and everything! I love to find treasures and turn them into pieces of art!
Favourite Darkroom Door product: Wow - tough questions. The entire Prague collection is divine...I could actually eat it! I also adored the photochips and the filmstrips.
Let’s say you’ve been invited to come into our darkroom for a day. What would you bring with you? Distress Inks, Embossing powders, burly young men (or vampires?) to hold Rachel back while I cleared the place LOL!

Very funny Jilly! Just bring Edward Cullen and you can have whatever you want :)
We're so excited to have Jill as our Guest Artist! Her work is so detailed, textural, inked up.... just wait till you see the projects she has to show! Here is the first one:
Wall Hangy Thingy (even love her names!)
Supplies:
Darkroom Door Prague Photochips
Darkroom Door Prague Wordstrips
Darkroom Door Essentials 4 Collection Enjoy Life Rubber Stamps
7 Gypsies Patterned paper
Ranger Distress Inks
Ranger Embossing Powder
Calico
Muslin
Vintage Buttons
Wooden skewers
String
Here's some instructions from Jill:
- Scrunch up delicious photochips and "weather" using Distress Ink, water and sandpaper.
- On a strip of old calico, lay layers of distressed papers and dyed muslin (again Distress Inks and waterspray!) and place weathered photochips at regular intervals.
- Using your sewing machine, attached photochips using a straight stitch, treating just like you would fabric.
- Make a loop through the top of wallhanging and insert three or four skewers tied to together (or even a funky twig!).
- If available, add some vintage buttons to enhance the character.
- Hang on wall and make your room look gorgeous!!!
How delicious is this project?!!! My jaw hit the floor when I first saw this... absolutely adore it! Thanks so much Jill for sharing your talents with us!!
We'll be sharing more of Jill's projects over the next couple of weeks... so stay tuned!
Unlock the artist within!
