Escape…..

Oh I had fun doing this page in one of my altered books! The giraffes are part of a napkin that I got from a friend.  I used pieces from a dictionary page with the word tranquil especially chosen.  I used some retired Stampin'Up! stamps….one of which was the little alphabet set.  I really like how this turned out - very therapeutic!

Have a great day!

New Gelli Plate

I got a new round Gelli Plate for Christmas from my daughter.  I experimented with it a couple of days ago.  Want to play some more - but there are so many things I'm trying to catch up on right now that I just flit from thing to thing in my art room……I'll get to more prints soon - it's just so much fun!

Have a fantastic day,

More Show Pages

I haven't done any pages in my "Showbook" for a very very long time and thought the Christmas holiday would be a good time to get some more created.  This book is a way of holding show bills and ticket stubs from the various musical productions that we see - as a family, or just my husband and I.  I collage bits and pieces that (hopefully) have to do with the show and then write the titles of the songs from the productions around the outside edges.

When I did this page and saw the date - I guess we've been going to Broadway Across Canada since 2008.  We've been pleased with MOST of the shows - not all, but most.

Have a great day -

Silent but busy

The Christmas season has come and gone with all of it's school preparation for concerts, card stamping and general busyness.  I haven't done a lot of arting, but I have done some, and through the next few days I can catch up - yet again with all I've been creating.

Today I worked on the above mandala for one of the Tangents and Tactic prompts - that I'm behind on.  I did it on watercolour paper with my watercolour pencils and used a small brush to bring the colour away from the lines.  It's a different sort of mandala than I'm used to doing and it was fun and very relaxing to do.

I'll share more soon.
