Wings - Challenge with ACT's

Here is my contribution

Some of my favourite things

If you had to ask me what was my most favourite thing in my artist tool box I would have to say that its my Viva paints.  I just love them, I love the colours and the textures and they work so well with  my work.  I will be showcasing more stuff I have made using this fantastic product.  I included the photo of the felt pens because I just love the colours.

When we went to the beach

When we went to wales I  sat  on the sand near  a pebbled sea barrier, and I was armed, yes I had my camera and oodles of time.  The skeleton of crab.

I piled  as many pebbles as I could and took these  photos before they toppled over,  I used the macro(flower) setting on the camera, I was really pleased with how they came out considering they were tiny little stones.

I wouldn't consider my feet attractive at all but honest I couldn' t find anything thing else in close proximity to me lol

  But my best surprise was ...............................

the beautiful sunset I managed to capture.

Images from my old blog

I did a series of 3 pieces for my final art exhibition these were canvas using a wide variety of mixed media, the middle was done in clay and the third were mixed media pieces.

 This is my little studio - as you can see on the wall some inspiration from All Norah's Art to help inspire me, it was a bit messy(blush blush).It has got better I promise!

 I love textures, and love how painting, gluing, heating stamping and ripping can alter how something originally started out as.  Here are some textures and journal pages I played with.

If you see something here and you want to know more about how I did it just drop me a line and I will tell you.

Digital girls

I've been experimenting and been making some digital girls.

I recently purchased Scrapbook Artist2, mainly for it's editing effects which are so quick and simple, I know as an avid Photoshop user nothing tops it, but no really this is a fantasic program which no designer should be without.  My camera is always with me and I take photos at every opportunity I can.    I took some photos of some flowers which I was easily able to extract from the background.

This was my starting photo

This was the flowers after I extracted them using DSA2

This was the same image after playing around with some of the effects in DSA2

  I then added a few bits just to finish it off.
