Hi everyone Last week I finished another mixed media piece using similar techniques to my ‘Ellie-May’ elephant, but with a different theme and lovely warm colours. I have always loved painting daisies and creating this piece was great fun 🙂 This project is now available in my shop so you can grab yourself a canvas and have […]
Lets get Creative…photos
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 […]

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!

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 […]
