It was great to share my ‘Let’s get Creative’ mixed media canvas yesterday and lovely to welcome Sharon to my studio for the first time. We had fun playing with texture paste, stencils, pastels, acrylics and embossing powders, with everyone choosing their own theme and colours. Apparently my Victoria sandwich cake wasn’t bad lol […]
‘Ellie-May’ Pattern Pack
Hi everyone I’m so excited about my latest mixed media pattern pack ‘Ellie-May’. I know a lot of you loved my elephant that I did a few months ago and my evening art club are having a great time producing their own mixed media elephants using my design….so I thought I would share it as […]
Back from hols and feeling arty :-)
Hi everyone Sorry I’ve not posted for a while….I’m on a different treatment now and it’s taken a few weeks to get it sorted. Then my oncologist was kind enough to say he didn’t need to see me for two weeks instead of one so we jumped in our motorhome the next day and headed […]
Yummy cakes!
Had fun last weekend, repeating my LOVE mixed media but on a different theme….. If you’ve been to a mixed media workshop with me, why not get out your notes, pick a different theme/colour etc and see what happens 🙂 I would love to see what you achieve! Have a great weekend. Dawn x
New Daisy Youtube Video
I’ve been feeling a lot better the last few days, most probably because chemo has stopped and I am starting to have more energy 🙂 Yesterday I thought it would be fun to make a new Youtube video so decided to do another daisy one, you’ll have to excuse my nails….yet another side effect of […]
Amazing Students’ Work :-)
Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing work that students have done at home after coming to a workshop. It’s so good to see that I have inspired people to have a go without me being there ha ha, and create something beautiful that they are proud of…..must mean my class notes aren’t too bad […]
Mixed Media Love
I’ve been feeling a bit better the last few days and fancied having a play with mixed media, so I looked through my canvas stock and found one with LOVE textured in one corner…I love adding hearts to my artwork so I just had to have a play and create something pink!! I used papers, […]

Show me your work!
Hi everyone I haven’t been up to creating any new pieces recently as chemo fatigue seems to have taken over, but I hope to have a ‘play’ soon….in fact I was looking through my Christmas books a few days ago (sorry for the C word in July!!) as before I know it I will be […]
Love to paint loosely!
Over the last few weeks I have been creating a canvas based around my name using a loose style of painting which I have built up with layers. I started with the letters and then thought of designs that began with those letters, weaving them through the text. Even though I wanted this to be […]
Finished my hot air balloons!
Last night, after a pretty rough day with chemo fatigue, I suddenly had the urge to do some more to my hot air balloon mixed media piece…..and in the end was well chuffed as I finished it 🙂 I wanted to add some textured baskets so book paper came to mind, with some floated shadows […]
1000+ Youtube Followers :-)
WOW….I can’t believe it….popped over to my Youtube channel yesterday and found I have now got over 1000 followers…made my day! I haven’t made any videos for a while but now my treatment is in more of routine, it’s something that I can do gradually….and the best bit is playing with editing and adding music […]
