No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth!! Things have been somewhat hectic and stressful for me these past couple of months, so updating my blog has been one of the last things on my list. And for that matter I haven't had anything to share because I also haven't done a great deal of art lately.
I can say that things have settled down for me somewhat, and it was time to get back in to the art that i had missed so much!! So today being Father's Day, the girls spent the day with their Dad and I got some time to myself in the Art Room at the shop .... creating all day!!
So first I made a gift for a friend .... using the Collections Tiles I made a tiled 4 inch square canvas. Love the result and gosh it feels so good to be able to create again. I was worried that the creative juices wouldn't flow, but there was no problem there - we almost had a flood!!
Here is the result of the first canvas:
I played with all sorts of products here .... love the new Radiant Rain Dabbers we got in (bottom left corner) and the Mica Delights and the Rub n Buff on what started as silver charms .... oh and the new Glimmer Chips with some new Glimmer Mist colours we got in.
Ok, so then i made a little canvas for myself, to put on display in my new houe (for once a piece of art will stay home rather than at the shop .... )
Really happy with this one. I would like to make one on a bigger scale (you should see the one Audrey has on display in the shop, bloody awesome!!) but decided today to do these small ones as it meant I would actually get a whole project (or two!)finished which was a great feeling today.
I would like to say a big thank you to all my friends who have been so supportive to me through the past couple of months which have been tough for me. You know who you are and you know what i am talking about it. Thanks guys.
AND
To my Dad .... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!! Miss you lots!!!
I'm doing Audrey's art journal class on Wednesday night, so will have some more art to share then ....
