He turned 8 last week, such a handsome, funny little guy!


I had to bribe him for a mini photo shoot adn this was my favourite of the batch. Can you tell why?????????


And winter came..........and then went quite quickly over the weekend! Just enough for sledging but not enough to be slushly and icky, which was pretty much how I was feeling most of last week. That's winter for you I suppose. Not much proper art going on, but lots of gesso applied to journal pages ready for later use.




Stay warm. American relatives, have a good Thanksgiving!

Art Every Day Month - day 2 picture catch up
This winter journal is made up of gessoed postcards ready for writing or decoration, old christmas cards in wintery themes, scrapbook papers, reused art proects and journalling blocks. All the pages are different sizes and widths.I'll stick with book rings until the New Year when I''ll finish it off with a proper ring binding. That way I can add stuff or re-arrange as needed. The Bind it All has already been put to use cutting the wholes, all ready to be assembled.


Work in progress




Rather than doing something different every day for Art Every Day Month, I've been working on one thing only this week. This is where the sketch posted below has got to by today and she may even get finished! She would look less spooky with a proper face.

I've been trying to draw Suzi Blu style petite dolls. These are doodles from my journal. They are fun to do.

Ahh, cute little pumpkins.......

Art Every Day Month - day 3

The above is a sketch I plan to paint over the next day or two. I'm thinking rich winter colours and sparkly bits which probably means she will turn out to be pale and flowery! We'll see...

AEDM day 2 doesn't fit on the scanner and my only memory card for my camera is caput, so sadly no picture at present. Yesterday's project was making a junk journal from old christmas cards, scrapbook paper, gessoed postcards etc all ready to be arted up into a winter journal. My trusty little Bind It All worked hard yesterday which may explain my sore shoulder today!

Time to watch Spooks (aka MI5 to those of you in the US) Isn't there something happening there ie the USA tomorrow???

Go, vote....
