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 […]

Bibbles the Elephant
Morning everyone I just realised that I hadn’t blogged my most recent mixed media piece…Bibbles the Elephant. This really was a ‘lets see what happens’ piece, using lots of different media and I’m really chuffed with how she came out. I fancied painting an elephant but not in the traditional way using just acrylics but […]

New Workshop ‘Fresh as a Daisy’

Upcycling Workshop Photos
This week I held an Upcycled Frame workshop….the idea was to renovate something that was looking a bit past its prime using different products, paint and napkins. I upcycled a yellow and blue photo frame with a picture of my Jon on his 18th…he’s 25 now so that was definitely old!! We prepped our pieces, […]
Finished my latest poppy :-)
I can’t believe I started this large poppy over a year ago….I drew and painted the first layer, added the background and then lost interest!! A couple of weeks ago I fancied having a go with it again and I’ve loved playing with nice warm colours in the middle of winter! Moral of this story….if […]
