Painted tag swap

May 20, 2009 – 1:40 pm

After last week’s proof, here is the real deal—one of the tags that made it into the swap. I used a different technique for this one. Basically, I painted the background, then painted another sheet of watercolour paper in a single wash of two colours (to obtain this bluish cream hue). Once dry, I drew [...]

Collage finished

April 27, 2009 – 1:35 pm

I had a flash of inspiration just before falling asleep on Saturday. An idea on how to finish that collage I had started on a whim. It was the three segments I had sort of found myself with that suggested it. Well, that and, I suppose, the fact that we were still celebrating my daughter’s [...]

Collage in progress

April 24, 2009 – 1:52 pm

I started this on a whim. Not too sure where I am going with it, but I like it so far. Now I am toying with the idea of adding a couple of roses and, of course, a bird… Bookmark and share: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover [...]

April 9, 2009 – 3:07 pm

It is crafting galore chez Leafdays. I’m getting ready for Easterand making chocolate eggs and mini chocolates (which were supposed to be mini eggs, but I don’t have the mould so, voilá, I made mini blobs instead).

Embellishment embargo

April 6, 2009 – 1:43 pm

I had originally planned to finish it off with a couple of buttons and some ribbons, but when it came to adding them, I just felt they [...]
