Artist Trading Card Daily – 102
This artist trading card daily challenge is genuinely one of the most fun things that I have ever embarked on.
Every time I sit down I have to look for new ways of doing things. This is really keeping my mojo going (and my craft room in a mess).
Anyway, here is ATC number 102 for your viewing pleasure.
Artist Trading Card Daily – 101
The Artist Trading Card challenge continues with number 101.
For this one I wanted to use up some off cuts of paper that I had trimmed from a previous Color Burst creation.Read More »
Portfolio Archive – Black And White Portrait Photography
Over recent weeks I have had a number of positive comments about my photographs on Facebook. People have been impressed and have suggested that I should do it as a career. What a nice thing to say :)
It may (or indeed may not surprise you) that I actually did study photography, albeit in a small context, as part of an Art and Design Diploma that I completed back in 1990/91.

Craft, Inspiration And Information On Demand – Past, Present and Future.

There have been a few mainstream TV shows that have ‘made it’ into the psyche of the general public, think Sewing Bee, The Joy Of Painting and Watercolour Challenge, however for the dedicated creatives, what is changing now that media is becoming so accessible?Read More »
Artist Trading Card Daily – 100
Well, who ever thought that I would make it to 100, but I did!
Today’s ATC creation also goes a little darker than previous makes by giving my little impression of what it means to struggle to get to sleep – something that I often go through, and I know that a fair few of you do too.
Artist Trading Card Daily – 99
Hello again and welcome to the last in my mini cardstock challenge, and the 99th Artist Trading Card!
Phew, didn’t think that I would make it this far but I’m glad that I have.
Anyway, for today’s creation I chose to use the Inktense water soluble pencils as the medium of choice to try out on the Paper Milk cardstock.

Hello my little blogettes, how are you today?
My little cardstock colouring challenge continues in today’s Artist Trading Card post with the use of Lyra Pencils.
Artist Trading Card Daily – 96
Hello again! How are you?
For today’s mini coloured creation I have been using the Spectrum Noir pencils along with the Paper Milk cardstock from Paper Cutz.
Before a quick explanation of how I did that, here is the finished ATC.

Fiddling With My Drawers
Well, you’ll not believe it but I have managed to finish something AND write a blog post about it – just.
For this project I decided to have a fiddle with a set of drawers.
