'Make Art Possible'

 Hi Everyone and Welcome 

Apologies for being MIA for a few weeks but 'rain stopped play' for a while so as this is my first post of 2022  I'll start by wishing 

'Happy New Year' 

to you all!

`Hope your's has been kind to you so far! 

***************************************

So my first post of this year is only a 'heads up' kinda post to let you know I'm over on That's Crafty's blog today sharing a grungy journal page that I've created with some of the usual suspects: paint, texture paste, stamps, stencil, washi tapes. 

I had no preconcieved ideas/ plans for the page it was very much a case of going with the flow, following my creative muse and enjoying getting painty and inky again. 

Here's the resulting page 'Make Art Possible'  

If you'd like to read more about my creativity and see some close up pics showing the layers / detail/ texture you're welcome to come join me over on the blog. 

if you click HERE you're on your way. 

Hope to see you soon

 Hi Everyone and Welcome 

Its that day of the week again when you can find me over on That's Crafty's blog sharing some creativity which today is a small square mixed media art panel. 

It has layers of colour and detail, some texture and a focal time piece on which rests one of my favourites - a butterfly!  Everyone loves butterflies, right? 

If you would like to see more photos and read more about my inky fun with Tim Holtz distress reinkers and a selection of other products you are very welcome to  come join me on the blog.

Limited Edition 1 and 2

 Hi Everyone, 

It's my day over on That's Crafty's blog and I am sharing 2 cards featuring 'penned patterns' that I've designed and created using some of That's Crafty! round dinky stencils. 

 

Something a little different for me you may think but truth be told designing and creating my own 'patterns' (mainly freehand/ freestyle, sometimes with stencils) is something I've enjoyed doing BTS for many years.

This is card 1 featuring my first pattern design.....

 .....and this is Card 2 featuring my second pattern design 

There's more to see and read over on the blog and it would be lovely to have you pop by 

Just click HERE for a quick transfer over 

I'll be there to welcome you 

Hope to see you soon
