Wedding card...

....for an aqua-aerobic teacher and a cricketer, decided not to make two as perhaps the theme is a bit too specific ;)

New artwork

Starting sketches for new paintings and pastel pictures...

Belated Happy Father's Day

Week before father's day always busy for me. Made some Olympic themed ones for customers and some box ones too. Wondering if "make your own father's day card" would be a good course to run...

In the midst of finding card photos to upload I realised I had some other things to post. This is part of my kokeshi collection ( I have a few others too tall for these shelves) which now owns this space in my work room. The Hornsea that was here now has it's own area in the house so it made more room for the dolls. Also here are a few pottery and glass items I love, plus a marble elephant and pottery from my friend Jan in California. It looks a bit different today, I have added things to it already... more clutter ^_^

Paper flowers

Felt fiscally aware when needing to order yet more paper flowers so thought I'd try making some of my own! I quite like deciding the scale and botanical choices beyond roses and cherry blossom. However, it took a fair bit longer than just ordering them. :)

3d window cards.

Got the parts for these cards from the qvc shop. The reviews were awful! I agree, if you want to use them as a stand alone kit they aren't much cop, you need to put in a bit more creativity and adapt! :) I just enjoyed a pre-scored card blank, which sounds a bit sad ;)  Leaves punched using one of Su's punches that she might have forgotten I've got :)

Spring has sprung..

New card, using the folded back flap layout. Have some premade blanks meant for invitations that can be refolded to get this shape. Liliofthevalley stamped image. Copic coloured.

Needle felting

My friend Toni very kindly bought me the kit for doing some needle felting for my birthday. First attempt has led to a slightly freaky green cat! :)

Card for me to send...

To my friend Robert. Thought it might be worth a quick blog to show something a bit different :)

Special day!

Special day in the craft room today, new oil cloths for all the craft room tables! Bit of a clean and tidy session too.
