Peaceful........



I have had a little break from blogging and feel really revitalised and my muse really needed a holiday......I have been enjoying the sunshine but that was short lived..oh the british summertime eh? Matthew fractured his wrist 2 weeks ago but he is doing well and is now sporting a nice blue cast after having a new one put on. I decided to to get my soldering items out and kick start my creativity whilst listening to my ipod ( and the oh so amazing Mr Jim Morrison.....oh if you didnt know I am a huge Doors Fan) and creating bottle art and have the lovely smell of beeswax in my studio....and believe me it smells oh so wonderful. I love the image of this little girl I have so many great images sometimes its really hard to decide which one to pick. Well I have so many blogs/emails to catch up on.........
I must say a big Thank you to Dee for giving me the Makes my heart smile award Thanks so much Dee. Thanks for stopping by here.

"Le Projet de Masque le plus Splendide et de Ventilateur"



I was recently involved in an amazing project over at PaperWhimsy hosted by the wonderful Gale Blair.
It is January 3, 1776, and Marie Antoinette, now the Dauphine of France, is soon to be on holiday in Nice. She plans to celebrate Le Carnaval and had commissioned her finest couturières to come up with an amazing masque and ventilateur in order to hide her identity. But, alas! The royal couturières have not come up with a design that pleases Her Majesty.It is now up to you... My dear Artistes Extraordinaire... to create the most magnificent, indeed, the most splendid mask and fan befitting The Dauphine of France...
I had so much fun with this project it was hard to decide a colour to chose but well it had to be pink for me......

Believe





I wanted to blog another ATC Block I have created. I love this little pieces of Art. All Images are from PaperWhimsy. I have various pieces of wood to alter so will share with you as I create. Thanks for stopping by, and leaving me such lovely comments it means so much to me.

Moss by Hilda Conkling




This is another Collage created for the quote Challenge at PaperWhimsy.


Moss by Hilda Conkling


Green velvet to look upon.

Shaped and woven of tiny trees

Soft velvet to make a pillow for the birds

Or flowers when they go to sleep,

Velvet rugs for the footsteps of the wind(Though he leaves no footprints behind him.)

I too have felt that softness:

I have heard the wind pass and return And stoop down to whisper

Among the trees of the moss-forest.

PaperWhimsy Quote Challenge - The Key to my Mind

The most amazing project has started over at PaperWhimsy and I just love it!!!! To create Art using the wonderful poems of Hilda Conkling and a special limited edition digital collage sheet from PaperWhimsy. This is my first piece and I love the poem that was chosen
A little stone door in my mind
Opens and shuts with a musical sound.
There is a gold key;
Locks the door
The door is carved like lace.
Spirits fly in and out,
MessagesOf love and things I ought to know.
Through the lace-work of stone
Comes a sweet melody saying
Happiness... purity... strangeness...
I cant wait to start the next one.
Thanks for stopping by.
