the wish book continues
the modelling paste and stencil thing has been a recent obsession so my pages are getting lumpier, but in a pleasingly ordered, symmetrical way!
Mmmmm, snippy paper bits too. Lots of them.
and as though to reiterate.
(Yes, that H does look upsidedown, I thought that too)

Wowzing
a little while ago I might have mentioned I was invited to participate in a local exhibition. Well, today I delivered my things to the gallery, and this evening I spotted one of my pics on their website. Wowzers! This is seeming quite real now! But more wowzing yet to come: I checked out the gallery’s facebook page & whaduknow, my pic is their cover pic!
Happy gal! š

a quick flurry!
Hey folks, I’m back! Not that I’ve been anywhere else, I’ve been right here inside your computer, I just haven’t been getting the words and pictures out to you for a few weeks š
So here’s a little round up since I last posted……….
Looking back over the last few weeks I can see it’s been centred a lot around stencils and ink spraying
I treated myself to a bunch of bargain stencils a few weeks back. They were 1/2 price, it would’ve been sheer madness not to.
I also started making some of my own, cutting from acetate sheets, paper and card.
The paper/card ones are getting recycled into collages as (or before) their edges n corners begin to disintegrate!
Ooh and stapling! I seem to have about a gazillion boxes of staples… so naturally they’ve joined the art ingredients
This is just scuffing the surface of the iceberg of things I’ve been busying at – more pics to follow soon! š

colorful excitement!
Hey folks!
Today I took a bunch of my stuffs into college to use the photo studio – so I now have some properly lit pics to show you! 
There’s nothing to beat having a real expert set up the lighting and lend you their really good camera!
I’ve been invited to show some of my textile work in a little local exhibition,
so this is a little preview of what will be there!

deeper into the book of wishes
Yesterday I showed you the first page of my latest project – the first one I could call finished (ish).
This is the latest page, I began playing with over the weekend.
Starting out with gesso and inks, layered up and finished with hot glue blobs
Inspired by the very lovely and talented Contadina K

New Year: New Projects!
Day 2, and so far I’m quite liking 2013.
It’s demanded nothing to arduous from me.
It’s given me time to play with these square things!
They’re a work in progress, I think a little more to be done, then framing.
More pics soons! š

obsessions de jour
Hey folks – Happy Holidays to you all!
We’ve had a lot of dark, gloomy, rainful days here. Not a big grumble, weather happens, but the half-arsed grey wet daylight has severely hampered my ability to any good photos lately. This week, finally I got a few pics of my latest adventures and obsessions!
When time and people permit, I like to pretty much hibernate from around 21 December straight through to a couple of days into January. Not so much a big sleep, but a big re-charge. I spend most of these days actively pursuing colors and shapes in some fashion or another š
Recently I’ve found myself making a whole load of these. Srsly, like dozens of them. Ranging in size from about 1/2 inch upwards to 2 inches, they really satisfy the no scrap is too small to keep mentality!
To what end I can’t be certain, but I mounted a few up on some dyed paper and framed a few in little Ikea box frames.
Some of them have a very dimensional quality – consisting layers of paper and some with corrugated card – so they work well in a deep box frame. (pics to follow…)
Hang on… like a deja vu thing going on here… these things remind me of something…
Yes! these things
Curious… I’d totally forgotten about them til typing this post… But do feel encouraged, at least I’m consistent with my obsessions, even if I’ve no idea what they’re for (yet).
So, dear friends and visitors, whether you’re getting ready to party the new year in, or already have done, I wish you all the very best for 2013.
May it bring you what you wish for, and more š
