Some Christmas Art....

Probably for the last few years I have struggled to make Christmas Art... not sure why.... but anyway here are the few pieces that i did make. This first one I made for the lovely Linda as a little thank you for a special Art Day she organised.
This card was made for Kasha - our little group the "Paper Princesses" always just draw one name from a hat and this year I got to make some art for Kasha.

This card was made for another swap.... bit blurry so still need to work on the photography! Maybe that should be my new year's resolution rather than blog posting!!

Happy Birthday to Me... :o)

I thought today that i should maybe give you all a break from the birdie art and share something i made a little while back. This art was created last year as part of a book that our little group made for the wonderful Celeste. I can't even remember now what the guidelines were... i think shades of blue with maybe butterflies?? Or maybe i just made that up as that is obviously what i did!! LOL...

It has turned slightly cooler here today so a perfect day for losing myself in my art space (it's part of my garage, so I haven't felt very inspired of late as it's been way too hot). Thanks for the lovely comments! See you tomorrow...

I did it... I caught up!

This is the first page of a two page spread I did for the wonderful Judy Timmins for her birthday. This year our little group decided to do a book for Judy with all of us creating a few pages. Those of you who know Judy know that she loves a good laugh, so we tried to make our pages for her a little bit funny....

This second page has acetate over the image, so didn't photograph particularly well. If you have any tips on taking photos that include acetate I would love to hear them! Enjoy and I will try to post again tomorrow! Stay tuned...

second catch up post...

This is the finished piece of artwork that Marilena unwrapped for her Birthday... it was a very special birthday - her 50th - and it is safe to say that Marilena completely loved the artwork we created for her. If you would like a closer look at the pieces that Kasha created you can see them here.... and for Celeste's piece you can find them here and here... :o)

....not doing so well, but will try to catch up!

This is my third and final piece for Marilena. I have managed to pretty much stick with the theme and colours with this piece. I am sure i have a photo somewhere of the finished artwork and will upload that for you all to see. It was truly amazing to see it all come together at the end.
