On Reflection .... of Green

Green is one of my ultra fave colours.... also the theme on theme thursday this week. Here's a little green fairy from Lisa's Altered Art collage sheets... sitting on her mushroom (green also) reflecting on life, love and art.

Why not head over to Lisa's ~ she has just added a massive amount of $ 1 sheets... they are SO fun to use.

Scream for Icecream

I'm using Lisa's new sweet shoppe images at the moment to make some ATC's and low and behold I came across a challenge for Ice Cream... I'd already started on this little chap and his scream for icecream so I've finished him off and i'm entering it for Opus Gluei this week.

Vintage Advertising

Here's my postcard using vintage ads for MMM this week.

Striped Sock Brigade

the theme on TMTA this week is Groups.... so here's my little striped sock brigade.

Something New....

... for me .... Canvas Work. Last Tuesday I went to a canvas workshop. I've had a slight phobia of working on canvas... i don't know why! lol so I thought this would be the ideal opportunity to embrace just a little canvas! It was at my local craft stall... Katz & Co...

Firstly, we made lots of shaving foam backgrounds... love this technique for background making. And here's the two canvas's I made whilst doing the workshop. photo's aren't as bright as the real thing.

A week before I took a brayering workshop at Katz & Co... it was fun but I struggled to get to grips with a brayer. It was hard work and I nearly had to stamp my feet in frustration! lol

Both classes were super fun and I enjoyed meeting other like-minded people. And I have a lot of new backgrounds to play with as well! Happy days!

A Rose ....

this week's theme on SPA is Roses.... I've made 2 Postcards! One a vintage type postcard using Lisa's Altered Art images and the other more whimsical using Collage Anonymous collage images.

Everyday holds the possibility of a miracle

here's my entry for 'lots to do' where the theme is birds or wings

I love using birds (and wings ) on my artwork. They are such amazing little miracles of nature.
