ALTERED BOOK: "THE JOURNEY" - PAGE 4: SOUTHERN SPAIN AND MOROCCO Interesting factoid: while editing and naming my photos for this book page, I vacillated between two spellings - is it Marocco, or Morocco? I finally settled on Marocco, but before writing this post, I thought I'd better check. Ooops. I was right…

Storage for my spray inks It's been a good few days since I posted. I have been working hard on my ink pad/spray storage unit. This job has proved to be a lot more protracted than I had hoped, but I am on the home stretch now. From my previous post, you will…

I also got another Tim Holtz stencil, "Decayed" which is fabulous. I saw him using it when he was doing his Distress Spray Stains demo recently. I already…
Napkins from Lithuania A few days ago I received the final (I think! - I ordered so many it's hard to keep track!) of my packs of rice paper and napkins. I knew there was a delay on this one because it was coming from overseas, but I hadn't realised it was coming…
