Learning to Dance in the Rain!
Sometimes it is time to dream and allow. Just let yourself go and wherever you are dance in the rain, laugh at yourself and then with child like simplicity dream.
Library Girl
Today I continued working on yesterday's starting point for Library Girl. She has lots of layers. Used bubble wrap, washi tape, bridal ribbon, collage paper and a stencil.i like the strength of colour contrasts in this...
Taking Flight…
I continued working on a couple of my background starters. The reality is I have at least 20 pieces in progress at any one time but usually focus on about 5 at a time. I just work at what draws...
Treasures
This is my amazing enamel painting op shop find. She is stunning. If you know any details about the style I would love to know more.
One step forward…
I always feel that the challenge of painting a face is an amazing push and pull of re shaping. The continual questioning of each mark as the image takes shape. Do the eyes match up. Does she capture that spark or do I need to keep working...

Exploring …new works in progress
I am playing with my backgrounds and seeing what images want to evolve. These are 2 starting points from today's studio journey. Both have a softness and simplicity to them that I like at this point. Who knows where they will find completion. It's all the fun of the...
My Thai pumpkin soup recipe
I adapted a couple of my favourite ideas to create a wonderful pumpkin soup. The basic ingredients are nice but it was the roasting of the vegetables that made this soup stand out. It is about keeping it simple and quick. 3/4 jap pumpkin cut into large flat wedges...
Women…collage journal exploration
I love exploring possibilities and a combination of words and images can be so powerful. The classic old fashioned style of a beautiful woman and a long flowing dress surrounded by growing plants, words and ideas have so many possibilities. These journal experiments...
Logo ideas and imagery
Tho Thought I would share some of my thinking behind the owl and the little logo image I created for my business. I have always loved the owl as linked to the Goddess Athena and wisdom. The owl has been a guide for me for a long time as has the wolf (as teacher and...
Presentation bag play
So she (Follow your Bliss) sold and so I thought I would play with my new basic logo idea. I used the tap transfers for the first time....surprisingly easy. The bag works well I think. I had an extra owl and off cuts as I forgot to reverse but a great accident as I...
