These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things

February 10, 2019 — 7 Comments

How to sum up some of my favourite things in a space 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches … ?

That was the challenge for this mini mixed media creation. Read on to see how I got on, and what was included.

Forever In My Heart

You, yes you. You are forever in my heart. You’ve been with me as I’ve gone through good times and more difficult times. I really appreciate it, but I am not sure that I say it enough.

Anyhoo, that was the thought behind this make.

If there is one constant over the last few years it is the never ending cycle of creating, inspiring and enjoying arts and crafts with like minded people.

Whether creating, being inspired or enjoying any kind of creativity, I hope that you will agree that this little foray into mixed media will sum up the story well.

Having decided to increase more mixed media into the blog this year, I thought that I would start off with something a little smaller.

After a couple of days away hosting workshops last week, and arriving home VERY late due to rail issues, I decided to give myself a day off. It’s a rare treat these days so I wanted to make use of it and have a little play time.

This coincided with the stockpiling of new goodies reaching ‘use it or lose it’ proportions so I chose to dive into those for this make. Continue Reading…

A little something different in this post. I’ve been admiring journals and journalling for a while. The mixed media techniques, the thoughts and sentiments that make it into every creative page.

So, I decided to start John’s Journal.
