Circles of Life

The Tree of Life This journal page sat unfinished for the longest time. I bought some new beautiful yarns on the weekend and this green one seemed just perfect for leaves on my tree. This in turn inspired me to add more layers on the background. Not 100% sure its finished but I am much happier with it now. :)

This was a clock that stopped keeping time despite fresh batteries so it has stopped to smell the daisies. LOL
The arrow and the daisies all move around. Very Fun!

String therory

A SariFly
This yarn is made by women out of used silk sari's. I love the bright colours. For some reason this yarn has gotten all tangled up in a heap. My only yarn to have this problem. I first just piled up a ball of it to take a picture and then got the idea to form it into shapes. Imagine if you could reach up to the clouds and tweak the shapes a bit. Wouldn't that be fun. :)

Old joural page resurrected

I was looking through an old journal and found this page. It struck me as something I wanted to use, so I photographed it and will print it out to reuse on a current journal page.

Lines by a pizza cutter . . .

These are not my usual colours but lately I have fallen in love with teal and I am experimenting with it a great deal. I started with the pizza cutter making two outside borders and then ended up with it again over top. I like the energy in this spread. I punched out a bunch of different shapes of my Yupo with Alchol inks and ended up using all the bits left too. The negative space turned out so interesting. I think I got a bit carried away. :)
Colour by number??? No I don't think so.

A jewel toned rainbow.
The recipe~ Fluid acrylics, watercolour, pizza cutter and bubble wrap, masking tape and skeleton leaf.


Fun bright frame with more of the Yupo paper and Alchol inks.

Rock on

Listening to the amazing Jeff Beck and journaling. :)
Yupo squares with alcohol inks

These doors open to a quadruple page spread.


North Arrow inspired from the old days when I did hand drafting.

Life is precious enjoy it to the fullest everyday!

Pizza cutter grass. I got a pizza cutter for paining lines a friend told me about it. Wow it is so cooler than I expected it too. I will have more works soon with this new tool.

Its November

I got this cool wire torso for a steal and for Halloween I filled it with my Japanese Maple leaves. She stands about 18 inches tall and I love her hip being akimbo. :)
I got this idea to do a face that only shows up on the leaves as you look through the trees and drew a quick sketch (with my non-dominant hand) so I wouldn't forget.

Doodling and a quick ephemera house.
