Craft Focus - August/September 2022 (Issue 92)

18 WOW! EMBOSSING POWDER Obsidian is one of Wow’s latest releases this summer. This powder is a mix of colours, and they’re all ultrahigh in grade size to give you amazing results every time. Try inking up a piece of card with Wow’s slow drying ink pad and sprinkle with Obsidian, watch as you melt it and all the colours merge into one another, then die cut words from it as you see in the featured card. It’s fabulous on buttons and glass, try it on anything that’s heat resistant. You can also randomly sprinkle it and heat from underneath, creating your own one-ofa-kind background. A top tip is to try mixing it with a plain powder to change the effect completely, this can stretch your supplies like you wouldn’t believe. +44 (0)1727 738 460 sales@wowembossingpowder.co.uk www.wowembossingpowder.co.uk HERITAGE CRAFTS Bay View (PSBV1632) is a new design from the Silhouettes range. the design measures 12.5cm x 12.5cm and has an RRP: £19.60. the kit contains: Zweigart fabric, DMC stranded cottons sorted on to numbered cards, a needle, and clear charts and instructions. sales@hcrafts.com www.hcrafts.com THE CRAFTY KIT COMPANY This beginner-friendly kit from The Crafty Kit Company is a fantastic introduction to the art of two-dimensional needle felting, also known as ‘painting with wool’.
