Four seasons project

Got back today from the artsycraft event! Amazing, awesome, will post pictures of the projects asap as my lovely daughter has lent me a camera.

Here however is a project I am sharing with my sister. We have challenged each other to create four interpretations of the seasons in any medium not more than 10" square.
Little sis is doing some beautiful embroidery, but I have decided to use my stamps and to make it a little more difficult I am trying to recreate urban scenes. Here I have used paperbag studios, paper artsy and Tim Holtz stamps, distress inks, Martha Stewart railling punch and Tim's alterations die and embossing folder, plus a small leaf punch I have had for years!
My current challenge of winter is proving difficult as I want the pictures to carry on from each other (rather like that scene in Notting Hill where Hugh Grant walks through the market!).
I shall post it shortly, I'm struggling with the snow at present!
Back soon with photo's of my alteration box!

Great start

I would just like to say a HUGE thank you to all the kind folks who commented on my first blogs. It was very exciting and I really want to get going, but alas!! I have lost (mislaid?) my camera and I am so frustrated as I have a project I want to share!

Also I am going to a workshop on Friday with yes, you've guessed it - Tim Holtz! I am so excited and can't believe I've lost my precious camera, how will I record this great event?
I will be back asap and hopefully said camera will reappear or I will get paid and try and buy a new one!
Best wishes to you all, and thank you again.

Moth Fab

This is my friend Moth Fab and she has been feeling a little flat and colourless too.


So I thought I would cheer her up with a nice cake from an old cook book I recently found.



As I turned to the cake page and old envelope fell out with a recipe on it!
Well I thought, must try this!
Remember my little man Twinkie I caught in a mason jar? Well, he is missing a hair as we speak!
3 Mwah's. mmm, all I had were these dehydrated ones..........
However, they plumped up nicely after a good soaking!

1oz of Passion, that's a challenge. I looked everywhere and then found this couple, we
I thought they looked pretty passionate!
Now for 2 tbsps of heart, luckily I had just been to my local supermarket and had one!
So after simmering and sieving I gave some to Moth -


She soon got her colour back!



So off I went for a cup of tea, but when I got back to the craft room Twinkie had escaped as I had left the lid off the jar, and the pair of them had taken up residence in my art journal, and made a right mess of the page. He won't give me my stamp pad back either!

Ah well, at least they look happy!

I'm going to have to work on how I present photo's and text and take better photographs!

Never mind, hopefully I will soon get the hang of it!
