Michelle Dunn
I’m Michelle one of the Founder’s and Directors of Dadesley Crafting CIC. I started counted cross stitching as a teenager, but didn’t really get into crafting properly until 2018 when I started card making. This then developed into t-shirt and bag printing. My favourite type of crafting is mixed media.
