Black and white.......

Kim Klassens texture Tuesday challenge this week.......black and white.......

What do you think.....?

Exploding box ........!

Made this fab exploding box with Hels Sheridan pinkleart.blogspot.com 

I will get around to making another one at some point with my own paper

I will never, ever make the flowers again Hels, far too fiddly by far for my kind of liking!

Mellow yellow.......

Yellow is Kim Klassens Texture Tuesday theme - go and have a look at her web site kimklassencafe.com her photographs are pure beauty- mine - well more quirky than beautiful - the first one is of my granddaughters toy box ;-)

But hey,I'm starting Kim's  'Be Still - 52' class tomorrow - a years worth of tutorials and encouragement, so my photos might take on a more classy style yet! 

Play.....:-)

Things have been very serious around here. 

Getting ready for the art tour thing and moving studio. Yesterday I just felt that I wanted to play and found these old box files when I moved space, so they either had to go........or be more interesting/useful.

Set about collaging and then stencilling with acrylics. Let one dry and moved to work on the other and then back again to do some stamping with hand-carved stamps (stars). Then some adding Washi tape and stamps.

An afternoon of colour, mess and play! 

So they went from.......dull old files to quite interesting storage boxes :-)

What do you think?

Framing.......

  Busy day framing ....getting ready for Network Artists Art Tour in June...watch this space :-)

New space.........

Some of my old cups and saucers that live in a dresser in my living room....and a couple of my granddaughters tea set, which she loves to play with.........
