Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

Computer problems have caused a wee bit of an obstacle lately, but hopefully all will be fixed soon. So far this is what I have been up to on the out of office hour projects......

The clay dog, based on my wee Shiffley, blew up in the kiln, I haven't seen it as yet. The tutor, said that she would fix it....

I left the glazing techniques that I wanted to use at the art centre and the tutor was going to apply them while I was in New York.....

Will be able to collect finished clay dog in the New Year, fingers crossed it doesn't look that bad....

Been having a bit more of a play with watercolour.... Think I might try a little something with colour....ouh!

And lastly a bit of mixed media play...

Happy Christmas!!!!

A Little Pen and ink...

Went for a walk with the dog this morning and pulled some dried weeds, thought that they might be good to draw..... Here are my efforts...

Mixed media....

I fancied doing a bit of mixed media artwork today. Got out my paints and then collages a bit and then a little pen and ink, actually quite satisfying to do something completely different....

 

Playtime is good!

Last week I bought myself a pen and ink set, not overly familiar with that medium, but I really like trying new ways with art, so I fiddled about and created a few little pieces.....

 

Is a wall just a wall???

Have a look at these two wonderful walls in Brooklyn and ask yourself, are these just walls???

Oh Deer!

I like to buy a Christmas decoration every year, and since I was in New York and I had to visit my favourite store, Anthropologie, I bought this cute and not so little snow globe.

A Little bit of therapy does you good!

I love flea/vintage markets, can't resist them if I know there is one about. Went to one in New York on Sunday morning and found these little gems that have returned home with me.

Sold out!

Met up with the Art Director from Camelot Fabrics last week at BluePrint Show and was told that the flamingo print, which is part of the Jungly range that I designed and licensed is sold out, yeh!!!

And this is me......

At BluePrint last week, the lovely and super talented Jennifer Orkin, aka August Wren was painting anyone who wanted their portrait done. Jennifer and I chatted while she painted away, such a wonderful experience and I am going to frame this and put it up near my computer.
