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.
Artist Trading Card Daily – 109
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.

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.
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?

Craft, Inspiration And Information On Demand – Past, Present and Future.Â
Having been involved in producing recorded and live TV shows, aswell as online media, about arts and crafts for over twelve years it’s interesting to see how the media sector is developing in relation to my/our favourite pastime.
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.
