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 [...]

In the belly of the earth

June 10, 2009 – 11:30 am

Rocks like fangs, secret lakes, hidden ponds. We explored a long, deep cave in the woods a few miles from where my parents live. In pre-Roman times, the cave’s main room, at the foot of the mother rock, was a temple to pagan gods—the local people left offerings shaped like tiny boats just above one [...]

Tag girl revised

May 26, 2009 – 1:30 pm

OK, I just couldn’t leave it alone. When I started experimenting with tags for a painted tag swap a while ago, I made a little tag that I wasn’t happy with. It wasn’t a big deal since it was just an experiment, but it bugged me. I went on to make the tags for the [...]

Inspired by Corey

April 7, 2009 – 11:35 am

My favourite collage book is Corey Moortgat‘s The Art of Personal Imagery. It’s partly because I share her approach of using personal images and symbolism in collage; but also because I love her soft style and techniques.

Armourer once again

April 27, 2008 – 12:28 pm

I am no longer a knight. After fighting some serious battles, taking injuries from sword and lance and even falling off my imaginary horse, I have been mercilessly demoted to armourer once again. That’s because Niccolo decided he needed a helm and I had to make one pronto. The world’s greatest knight…and his mum It [...]
