It has been impossible to narrow it down to six projects, so as with last year I am delighted that the brief said 'at least' six projects. I have put pictures of each project below, but alternatively you can watch my 'Graphic 45 TV' video clip which contains all of the pictures below plus some video footage of things like my Mother Goose Carousel (turning and playing music) and the By the Sea pop-up book in operation.
I hope you like looking my projects as much as I have enjoyed making them, and... Graphic 45...PLEASE give me a go on your Design Team!?!?!

COUTURE
To start with, fecturing papers from the Couture collection plus metal door pulls...
My i-pad TV cabinet - I made this from 6mm mdf and then painted it black before covering with Couture papers. The drawer handles are meant to be old fashioned tv tuning knobs ...My i-pad slips in on the left hand side and then it actually works as a tv!
MOTHER GOOSE
My carousel, made from scratch with foamboard, a music box mechanism that plays 'Twinkle, Twinkle little star' and a lazy Susan to assist rotation...and lots of the Mother Goose characters on board.
My altered book - a fairy tale castle with Mother Goose accents...
