ORIENTAL STYLE ALBUM - A COMPLEX POP-UP, AND SOME VIDEOS AT LAST! ALSO KITTIES AND EASTER I have been busy with the Oriental Style Album, creating more elements and working on some videos of the work in progress. Eventually I shall make a flip-through of the whole album, once the project is completed,…
STUDIO HOUSEKEEPING, CURIOUS CABINETS, DECORATIVE STRIPS AND KITTIES I've been pretty busy lately with a lot of cooking (why does everything run out at once in the freezer?) and various other domestic tasks, and by the time all that gets done, there's usually no energy left for studio time which is very annoying.…
TEABAG EMBELLISHMENTS AND KITTY CONTORTIONISTS Teabag embellishments A few days ago I had my first session in the studio for 2023.

COLLAGE STRIPS, MIXED MEDIA PIECE, AND SUCCSSFUL COFFEE STAINING Collage strips Our neighbour Margaret, who recently gave me another box of crafty stuff she no longer wants, included a lot of old Christmas cards. After I had ripped them up and sorted them into colours: I made several collage strips. I used PVA…

Mixed media hanging panel I'm not really sure what to call this! I haven't made anything like…
STUFF FROM MARGARET, KITTIES AND MORE MINI-EMBELLISHMENTS Our neighbour Margaret has obviously been having a clear-out. She has now given me several bags of bits and bobs from her crafting days, and with the last lot, I thought I really should do something with them! Some of the earlier stuff has been put…
COVID, COMPUTERS AND KITTIES It's been a month since I last posted on this blog and it feels strange coming back on! There are several reasons for my prolonged absence. Covid Earlier in September my hubby caught Covid, and being the generous soul he is, he made certain that he passed it on…
