I have not posted for a while, as I was extremely busy with work right up to the day I went to Europe (yay) for nearly a month. There was sightseeing involved of course, but the main purpose was to attend my brother’s wedding. He has lived in London for the past 10 years, and […]
I created this for the August 2014 Craft stamper ‘Take it, make it‘, it is the first time I have entered anything like this and I enjoyed the opportunity to play around and challenge myself. NOTE: sadly I missed out uploading this by the cut off (I blame the International Date Line), but I still […]

There were some speeches (I arrived late and missed most of these), canapes, lots of gorgeous cupcakes, purple balloons some of which are now bobbing around in my room. […]
Made this for a friend who likes the Wizard of Oz (and doggies!). I got to use my Graphic 45 stamps and papers that I bought for my birthday last year (my present to myself, yay!), that have been sitting there temptingly for some time. But I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with […]
There was a competition that I entered this week, to create an artwork inspired by the Great Gatsby. No images or stills from the new movie could be used. I decided to do a mixed media collage on a canvas. I had a lot of 1920s and vintage images that were suitable, and I printed […]
A few weeks ago I was able to get into a mixed media class – on a cancellation at the very last minute – with visiting Polish artist Finnabair (Anna Dabrowska). It was a 4 hour workshop, and I was able to take the morning off work. However as I was working til late, and […]
