This is from a story I produced for Country Living.
You can see the whole story in the latest issue, out now.
The whole idea came to me one day when I was looking at some old pictures of my Grandmother.
She collected delft ware. Had a beautiful collection. I still have a few pieces from her.
I wanted to make some cool and creative crafts inspired by her collection.
And here they are, hope you like.
More to come later.
