I didn’t think I was going to have any art journal pages to show you this week, but suddenly found myself with some spare time this afternoon to finish off these ones (ta Kirby!). Little Madam Gratitude Prayer I’m exhausted at the moment, and more than a little grouchy. As a result this poor man of mine […]
Crash Bang Wallop: a week in my art journal
Sorry, a little late, but here we go… Crash Bang Wallop art journal page This page was a bit of an experimental for me as I tried out ink sprays and ink sprays with mica for the first time (Dylusions). Not knowing how the ink sprays would react with the other materials, I decided to […]
Tooth fairy art journal
Dear Tooth Fairy What can I say? As much as I love the chance for extra cuddles, this teething malarkey is getting a bit exhausting. Especially at 4 am when I know I’ve got to get up at 6. Yawn! Will they get a move on already! I found the image of the fairy here […]
365 calendar challenge: I’m back!
Yeah okay, I know it’s not really a 365 calendar challenge if you take several months off halfway through, but life happens. I’m sure Kate doesn’t mind. I’ve got a baby.

365 Calendar Challenge: January
Knowing I’d have little to no time for art or journalling (written or visual) at the beginning of this year, but still wanting to keep some sort of a record of events, I jumped at the chance to take part in Kate’s 365 Calendar Challenge for 2011. Making one background a month and doing a […]
Art, Heart & Healing: week 3, part 2: celebration page
No, you haven’t missed anything. I’m a bit behind, so I’m doing week 3 and 4 of Art, Heart & Healing in a topsy turvy manner depending on what supplies I have to hand, or can get hold of first. I was floored by a heavy cold last week and am still weak as dish […]
