Time is of the essence…

The Three Muses challenge theme this week is simply “Time” – something we could all do with more of I think. For me, there are never enough hours in the day, but I was feeling time passing more as seasons when I created this page. I definitely had the autumn vibe with my colour palette…

“I’m blue”

For the Created by Hand challenge this week, here are 3 little ACEOs that I made using shades of blue paint on kitchen towels, with shimmers, vellum, stamping and some Japanese images.
The group:

One by one:

I have a feeling the vellum came from Annie in Finland…

The art stamp is from Robin at MaVinci.

Just have to go [...]

With a flourish!

Sunday Postcard Art… use flourishes/swirls in your art this week. There are always some gorgeous postcards to see on this challenge blog and by the time I get around to linking up there’ll probably be about 40 entries! So, lots to see!

I seem to be going through a punchinella and machine-stitching phase at the moment, [...]

SaWo – Corrugated cardboard

I had some fun layering and stitching this little collage together. No glue was used and it’s 99% machine-stitched! I relented and sewed the top centre button on by hand, but I even managed to get the needle through the little “Hand made with love” heart charm! Patient, I was!!

Most of this collage is recycled [...]

Owl on a key chain?

The Three Muses challenge us to use a KEY somewhere in our artwork this week. Instead of another journal page, I had the urge for some “creature comfort” and created this Stuffy Owl – for my DD – so when she looks at it, she’ll know I am thinking of her. The little suitcase key [...]

GPP Crusade #35

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 [...]

“I am Woman”

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; [...]

Don’t Stop Me Now…

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 [...]

Tweedledum & Tweedledee

For The Three Muses Pairs this week, finally I got to create again! Another in my series of Giant Jigsaw pieces… using an image from Ten Two Studios (Alice collage set), lots of layers of paint, my handcarved stamp and doodlings. It also fits with Theme Thursday’s Borders, edged in gold and black.

It’s been a [...]

RELISTED:BBC Children in Need Charity Auction

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.
