Take Risks And Stay Curious – An MDF Design From Concept To Completed Creation
In recent times, and especially during the All Counties Craft Challenge, I have grown fond of making things with MDF and have been wanting to design some things for a while.
As you may have seen in my recent My First MDF Design – A Brother Scan N Cut Workstation blog post, I have finally got around to it.
In this blog post I look forward to sharing another design with you – this time, a hinged photo frame that is just chock full of spaces to decorate and embellish.

This project actually started with a bit of an experiment when I was looking at acrylic painting pouring.

GCTV 4 – Affordable Acrylic Paint Pouring With Cells Made Easy Part 1
Acrylic paint pouring is making a big impact across the internet lately, however, there doesn’t seem to be a consistent recipe for success, the instructions aren’t clearly explained and the ingredients can be hard to find or are cost prohibitive.
My goal for this series of blog posts is to break the mystery surrounding this technique and make it accessible, easy and affordable.
