Well hello thar. Now, I often start these blog posts asking if you’ve got your cuppa ready.
Well, thought I, where is mine?!
I decided therefore that if I was going to make my own, I’d jolly we’ll make something lovely to carry it from kitchen to ‘lounge’ on.
So, if you’ve got your cuppa ready, let me tell you more …

Hey, do you remember rub-ons? Me too!
After being given a goodie bag recently, and having had a rummage, I found a wonderful set with which I knew exactly what to do.
Read on chums and I’ll tell ya about it.
For a recent playtime I showed you a couple of designs using Stampscape rubber stamps.
In this next post I am heading back to some stamps that I have had with me for a while. They are the Cover-A-Card stamps from Impression Obsession.

Hello my blog chums. How on earth are you? Well, I hope.
Now, in my last post I left things on a little cliffhanger, so in traditional style I should recap what that was…
Well, well, well. What can I say. That was surely a week and a bit!
Grab a cup of tea or coffee and your favourite biscuit and let me tell you all about it.
Been tinkering with a little something over the last few days.
Bit by bit it has come together and became something quite lovely.
I treated myself to a Tim Holtz Paper Mosaic set recently, having seen a bit about it online, and managed to have a little play this weekend.
Last year I started a series of three commissions for a lovely lady. Now that she has (hopefully) received them I think that I am safe to pop the last of these online for all to see.
Today’s post concludes the trio of canvases that I created with the same materials.
It’s difficult to say for sure but I think this might just be my favourite.
Thankfully another of the canvas creations dried in time for me to share it with you this evening.
This one uses the same materials as yesterday’s ‘Mountains Of Venus’ but I ended up with a very different feel.Read More »
I’ve been having a little play with some (lots) of paints and inks over the last few evenings as a sort of way to unwind from thinking about all of things that I’ve been trying to achieve.
I’m very pleased with the results and I think that when you find out some of the techniques, you may be a little surprised…
In October I ran a couple of scene stamping workshops using the wonderful clear stamp range from Hobby Art Ltd.
I thought that it might be a nice idea to put together a quick video showing you how I went about creating one of the three scenes that were prepared for these workshops in cased you missed the chance to attend in person.

In my recent Christmas Is Coming post I showed you a project that I had made with a chipboard kit from Georgina Ford.
I also eluded to the fact that I had been working with the Poinsettia Wreath Kit, also from Georgina’s range – well, finally everything has dried and it’s ready to be revealed …
I was deliberating whether to hand make Christmas this year (bit late to still be procrastinating I know) when along came Georgina Ford.
Georgina is setting up a new creative business called Designs By Georgina and she asked me if I would have a go with some of her product range and see what I thought.
Never one to turn down a creative request I said yes please!
So, I haven’t forgotten the old ATC365 challenge and whilst I was having a tidy up the other day I found a few scraps from my recent Encaustic Arts experiments that just squealed out at me to be used – so I did use them.
