Chromos is on the Channel 4 website!

Check us out... We have recently found out that we are featured on the Channel 4 website, in the Craft Suppliers Directory - 4th no less!

Onwards and upwards...

Just a little extra note - we do actually supply a lot more than just PVA Glue and Varnish, and we can in fact supply you with materials for all the activities mentioned on the directory list (namely: decoupage, Guilding, Glass Painting, Paint effects, Papercrafts and Craftmaking, Printing and Stencilling... not to mention our friendly, helpful and sometimes quite knowledgeable staff!)

Hampshire Artist - Dallas Maughan

Moody Blues

Minstead

Stephanie I

Blueberry Hill

We are delighted to introduce the work of Dallas Maughan - one of our lovely Chromos customers - who was kind enough to get in touch recently and show us some of her beautiful and unique works of art.

Dallas descirbes her work as 'paper-fusion', and uses collage to combine and bring together various papers, beads and other media. She then mounts the final work onto canvas or paper.

We love her delicate, intricate and vibrant designs.

Thank you for sharing Dallas!
