MARK LaFERNEY

Hi. I'm Mark LaFerney. I'm an artist, blogger and crafter. I’ve been creating art my whole life. When I was very young, I would decorate my great grandma’s spare bedroom with paper crafts for the holidays. Whether paper chain for Christmas or paper hearts for Valentines Day, my love of the handmade was evident at an early age.

I like to create projects that are easy, affordable and approachable. On my website, www.slumberingalligator.com, you'll find a new DIY project every Monday. Although I have a soft spot for the holidays, you'll also find home decor, party ideas and outdoor crafts there. Here's a small sampling of my work, I'd love for you to visit my website.

If these projects have got your creative mojo moving. Be sure to check out how to make inexpensive Halloween wreaths on Mark's website HERE!!! See how he uses Pack of Copper Scouring Pads to embellish a wreath. Check out the Tomato Cage Marbleized Side Table and much more on his website.

Be sure to visit Mark's website www.slumberingalligator.com and let him you heard about him here!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
