Power of 3

Still in my painting phase I found a canvas when I was tidying up and decided to do something totally different - my granddaughter thinks it's scary - it wasn't meant to be - it was meant to be more spiritual

tissue box

A simple method of adding torn tissue pieces to a papier mache tissue box with pva (white) glue and I now  have a stylish tissue box to match my room - now I'm looking for more things to cover

Rock chick

My granddaughter asked me to paint a picture for her so as it's her 8th birthday tomorrow I have painted what she asked for - last year she was still into pink stuff and fairies - she is growing up fast
I hope she likes this I used acrylics on canvas - and added a diamond in her belly button

Folk art bunnies

Spent some time this week making some cute folk art bunnies I like the simplicity of these characters
The bodies are made from a man-made towelling like mterial that I found in a bargain bin the outfits are cotton fabric and the hats are felt

Configuration box

I recently enjoyed a course with Tim Holtz altering a configuration box and couldn't wait to get it home and finish it off - a great momento of a wonderful day

My Perfect Day

The journal prompt on UK Stampers was to depict what a perfect day would be for us
I painted the background for my page with Radiant Pearls and stamped the title  The stamped dancing lesson poster is a Crafty Individual stamp  and as the page required a picture I added a photo of myself blended into the background of a tropical beach.  The perfect end to my perfect day would be to take a stroll along the beach with someone I had spent the evening dancing with!

Decoupaged trays
