Postal flower fairy

May 19, 2010 – 4:57 pm

Orange. I have a difficult relationship with bold colours and none more so than orange. It is too vivid, too bright, too much. The last time I recall using it in a collage was at the beginning of the autumn, when I made a seasonal background paper. So when Wednesday Stamper announced its Orange challenge [...]

Child’s play with soft pastels

May 17, 2010 – 11:25 am

A couple of months ago, I gave in to impulse and bought myself some Faber Kastell soft pastels. But, as it often happens with impulse buys, I never used them and felt horribly guilty about having made a useless purchase. So when I read that Mixed Media Monday’s next challenge was Child’s Play, I knew [...]

Three lessons I learned from making an inchie

May 14, 2010 – 7:37 pm

I am usually up for an art challenge, and Michelle Ward, of Green Pepper Press, is particularly good at coming up with one. So it remains a mystery to me why I have never taken part in one of her GPP Street Team ‘crusades’, as she calls them. Until now. Today, I took the plunge. [...]

Flowers collage for Wednesday Stamper

May 11, 2010 – 11:09 am

Wednesday Stamper has a challenge that really resonated with me—flowers. I collect vintage flower images and I use them everywhere in my paper artwork. So even though I am still sans art room (or paints) and though I am a bit late in the day for this challenge (a new one is scheduled to go [...]

On holiday, on holiday!

August 6, 2009 – 4:09 pm

You know what? This business of being on holiday is really hard work. I have been with the kids in the Alps for ten days, and it has been an intense affair of watching Nicco climb high on old pine trees up on the Piccolo San Bernardo, helping Caterina ‘jump’ on the trampoline for the [...]
