Following on from yesterday’s post about doodling on the Artist Trading Cards here is the second one that I promised you – a little trippy this time with concentric lines and a little space scene in the middle.

I have been doing a bit of doodling over the last couple of days to calm things down a bit.
I came up with three doodled Artist Trading Cards as a result. Read More »

Hallo me hearties!
Ever have that thing that where what you set out to make doesn’t end up anything like you initially imagined? Well, I can tell you that it can happen to even the smallest of projects.

Well, those Colorburst offcuts just keep on giving. This time I thought that the splatters looked a little like pollen or scent wafting in the warm winds and how sweetly scented they would be.
Probably not a good thing to remind me of today as I have been sniffling my way through a good run of hayfever recently and really wish it would do one.

Does happiness find us or do we seek it? That is the question.
Well, I think that the free stamp that came with the September 2014 issue of Craft Stamper magazine may have given me a clue…

I couldn’t resist the Color Burst/Creative stamping combo – so here is another!

A more refined design for today’s ATC365 creation. This one started with a Charles Rennie Mackintosh style floral stamp that I had received free with the July 2014 issue of Craft Stamper magazine.

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

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.
Photography has changed so much since I then so I thought that it might be an idea if I shared some of my attempts with you from the past and present.
This first post looks at the past.
Monday Mash Up – What Makes You Smile?
It feels like an absolute age since I last sat down and documented a complete creation from start to finish, so that is exactly what I did! Sort of.
