Sunshine - Hooray!!

a couple of photos taken early this morning in my work room........sunlight & shadows instead of dreariness & rain.

 the doll & her dress were cut from fabric & glued onto cardboard.

 sunlight & shadows on the shelf........red always brightens things......
& some more pages from the 365 creative challenge........from my altered book.....

the bird, at the bottom & the cows are made from maps , not sure who the artists are.......very clever use of paper,......there are lots of little cuts in the bird.

thank you to all our visitors...........hope the sun is shining for you today  too!

Bread Board Painting

trying  something  different .......i had an old bread board which i painted roughly with gesso.......

sanded some off  when it was dry.......did a fairly quick sketch on it with water soluble crayons, rubbed with my fingers in some places to smudge it, added some water in other bits & then sanded it roughly to give an aged look. if you click onto the photo you will see the detail of this process.

 some more pages from the 365 creative challenge in 2013........

Altered Book Pages......365 in 2013.

365 creative challenge 2013........

four more pages from my altered book , the first photo  shows a collage with some faber castell pitt pen......
the next page i added some collage to a picture from the book & more pen.
the one with the collage clock has text highlighted with gel pen, a freehand grid drawn & coloured with pitt pens.
i used different shades of grey & black pitt pens in the negative space to highlight the simple line drawing of birds.
i have been going through my magazine collection........de-cluttering & recycling ........or just making space for a few new ones!
every time i flick through a magazine i see images that i can piece together.......".every picture tells a story"......so the saying goes.

frog visitor

 

hello again...

not much creativity happening here...

just a wildlife visitor...

this fellow lives out the back...

and occasionally gives me a fright at night...

when he thumps around catching his dinner...

he even comes in and sits on my back step...

recently he decided to get into the blow up pool....

and then had trouble getting out again...

we had to deflate one rung of the pool to give him a chance...

 

 

 

Raylee has been having a few technological difficulties...

she broke her computer...

so she's been offline for a while...

she tells me she is still working hard...

and will catch us up when she gets the computer sorted...

 

hope you get back to us soon Raylee...

we miss you...
