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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This was a bit of fun for The Three Muses challenge this week… and you can probably tell that I’m well into “Strictly Come Dancing” again this year!! I’m especially fond of the extremely eccentric, but lovely, Claudia Winkelman, host of SCD: It Takes Two… bizarre and very fun half hour, behind-the-scenes look at the [...]

Lovely challenge from The Three Muses this week – “long ago… and oh so far away…” just like the Carpenters song. Talk about flights of fancy! I chose to go digital because I am simply too full of cold/flu to go upstairs and get creative with paints, paper, etc. So, next best thing, I used [...]

All for the sake of The Three Muses “Give me a head of hair!”
Well, the head of hair is a tree from Dover, cropped to fit his head. The leaves are Photoshop brushes in autumn colours. The fancy brush bottom right is from a blogger who wrote a fab tutorial on making your own PS [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been a bit naughty and taken liberties with a beautiful microscope slide image (from Ten Two Studios) this evening – all in the name of altered art, The Three Muses (Zetti theme!) and my compulsion to make soldered slide pendants. Got to master the art of soldering, as my new, more powerful, tool arrived [...]

What does that even mean? Is it a word or did I make it up? (You decide!!) I missed joining in with The Three Muses last week – my ‘pockets’ were empty of energy and I was starting a head cold…. bleh!
This week, Taluula challenged us to use “windows” in our artwork, so I altered [...]

In answer to the challenge this week from The Three Muses: I have always had a strange fascination with the Moon – La Luna Divina… and I am a Pagan, a practising witch, a healer and a teacher in my chosen field. I shouldn’t say chosen really, because what I do and teach within the [...]
