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 [...]

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.

A couple of weeks ago I made this wacky jewellery set for The Seventh Wave Gallery to display to show some Day of the Dead artwork. I see that Theme Thursday’s challenge this week is “Faces” and would like to share them with you here as my entry/take on the theme:
It comprises a bracelet, a [...]

When I saw that Nancy’s theme this week at Gothic Arches was to be “Risque”, I remembered the Faux Postage Nudes sheet I had from Ten Two Studios and thought they’d make a cute little Gothic Arches booklet. It did prove a bit tricky as I am full of a cold virus at the moment. It just [...]

It’s been a really hectic, but thoroughly enjoyable day today… took my Halloween artwork to the gallery this morning and had a long chat with Martyn, who had immense trouble trying to price and ‘categorise’ what I do. We both agreed that there’s no “box” I fit into… imagine that?!
Came home and started making some [...]

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 [...]

Here are some altered cutlery pieces I’ve been working on for the Seventh Wave Gallery in Bude… they are pretty gruesome and more like small assemblages as they’re completely 3D. Three large spoons and two forks:
All the images are from Ten Two Studios – Zombie Faux Postage and Black & White sheets, as are the skull [...]

That’s the challenge today at Saturday’s Workout – Altered Cutlery. Here are a couple of large spoons that I have in the Seventh Wave Gallery in Bude… I still have some Zombie spoons to finish for the Halloween window, but like everything else, it takes time!
I love altering cutlery and probably the most complex part [...]

I have so much to share… Okay, so it’s been a phenomenally busy week – you can tell because I haven’t blogged since Wednesday! I felt a great deal of pressure earlier this week because I’ve taken the huge step of opening my own “Studio” on ArtFire.com… yep, I have art for sale! If there’s [...]
