⭐New ⭐

New to our shop we have the superb Powertex 3D Balls. 

These 3D Balls are little orbs of goodness that promise to give mixed media projects and paintings extra texture,  structure and dimension. Available from Lavinia Stamps in 230 ml pots and in  3 sizes  - Small. Medium and Large. They can be added into the wet Powertex on any surface (except plastic).

Below is a photo  of the type of effect these 3D balls could achieve on our mixed media projects like the Coasters, Hanging Disks and MDF Hearts. This stunning textural piece is by Tracey Evans from Powertex. 

There will be exciting projects and tutorials coming up using these too..so be on the lookout! 

Gifts and Home 

Our sister website Lavinia Gifts and Home (https://laviniagiftsandhome.com/) has recently had a delivery of some beautiful alternative books. 

Let me tell you about one of the titles delivered.

"A Year of Flowers - A Journal of Daily Wisdom", is a stunning book that assigns a flower to each day and then uncannily predicts a persons character based on the day they were born. Great fun! See what you think! 

There's also some affirmation cards, for those days when you need a little TLC.

They are all a fab addition to your coffee table, book shelf or bedside table.  Click on the button below to be whisked away to Lavinia Gifts and Home where the books live.

 Wishing you all a wonderful week.

With Love from

The Lavinia Team      xxx
