SOME of the best artists and teachers will showcase their masterpieces at the CraftAlive Logan exhibition this week.
For the past 28 years, CraftAlive Logan has featured creative traditional and modern craft work including needlework, patchwork, quilting, yarn, crystals, mixed media, stamping, card making, scrap booking and long arm-quilting.
The art display will start on Friday, October 26 and will continue for the following three days at the Logan Metro Sports Centre.
Logan Village post stamp designer and online business owner Beccy Muir said she relished the opportunity to display her work at the upcoming art show for her second year.
“For the first time, I will demonstrate water colour stamping where you apply water colours directly to the stamp and apply it to water colour paper,” she said.
“I run my business online and don’t get to see a lot of people...when a craft fair is on I go and meet customers to talk to people about different things.
“You get ideas from people, one of the ladies (last year) asked for an octopus and I have since made a set with that stamp. People give you feedback directly rather than me having to just guess.”

Ms Muir started her paper craft passion with a stint in scrap booking in the late 1990s.
She began drawing digital designs in 2009 before opening her online store ‘Beccy’s Place’ and creating postcard stamps in 2016.
Ms Muir’s business has sparked global interest with significant demand from the USA and European countries like Sweden and Belgium.
CraftAlive Logan will run from 9am to 4pm until October 28.
