Here’s a spread for Collage Play with Crowabout #61. Nancy’s off on her holidays, so we won’t be doing any more till January, but I finally got my act together and had fun with this challenge! Not your typical Thanksgiving spread, but hey, I’m a Brit!!!

I felt [...]

Michelle asked us ti create a journal page about a sign or symbol that reminds us of a loved one, past or present. This is mine…
This is my “Long, Tall, Skinny” journal from the Supernova Class I took with Julie Prichard. The centre is scrap fabric, which was lovely to highlight, and the fancy swirls [...]

Just like the Helen Reddy song, Mixed Media Monday’s theme is “I am Woman”… I had a fab time with this bold, red double page spread. I think I’m getting the hang of this art journalling thing! This made me so happy when I had finished it – the gorgeous face is from a magazine; [...]

Apart from the fact that’s it was “Queen” week on X-Factor, “Music” is also this week’s theme over at Sunday Postcard Art, chosen by Cindy McMath. This is one of my faves by Queen – great to vacuum to! I’ve used a magazine image of a woman high-fiving a friend as my central theme. I’m [...]

I’ve been looking forward to getting painterly again and had fun making backgrounds, etc. whilst tidying up. I’ve let things slide a bit because I realised that worrying about DH has definitely affected my mojo and lowered my energy levels too. Bummer!
Still, today was better and I’ve created this journalled page for The Three Muses [...]

This week Diane set us the theme “Fashion” over at Mixed Media Monday. I’ve taken the green path with my interpretation and made this altered journal page entitled “Tis fashionable to “Grow You Own” nowadays…”
This started out really differently – I had used very muted tones and a few collage elements, experimenting for the Supernova [...]

Every year, like millions of people across the UK (and beyond, I suspect!), I tune into the BBC’s Children in Need Telethon and enjoy watching outrageous performances, hearing inspiring stories and using a good box of tissues watching footage of children and Groups in communities, who have been helped along by this wonderful cause.

Inspire me Thursday – “Winged Things”… I couldn’t resist playing with one of my painted backgrounds in digital form. I just added a few googled butterflies and brief text, et voila!
Isn’t that pretty? I’ve also written my first Studio blog post on my ArtFire Studio Blog this evening! Yes, those great people at ArtFire have [...]

It all started in May this year when I took my first ever online class – in fact, my first art class for over 30 years! I joined The Lost Luggage Network and started learning to paint with Julie Prichard. The Layer Love Class was where Julie introduced us to the techniques she uses to [...]

The Three Muses – “Numerology” – this week… I’ve created a journal page about Age and Ageism, which really bugs me. I dislike prejudice in any form and I think it’s very disheartening that people judge you based on your age in Real Life. One of the reasons I enjoy blogging so much is that [...]
