Try it on Tuesday

 Halloween for Try it on Tuesday

Hello from me to “Try it on Tuesday” for their Halloween theme.

OMG! Do you know when was the last challenge I entered?

9th March 2016! Whaaaaat!

And it was for Try it on Tuesday….spooooooky! 😂

Been too long. But a combination of trying to earn a living and being in constant pain for the past 3 years put paid to many things.

Anyhoo, still working but not for as many days and thankfully my pain, which was predominantly from rotator cuff injuries to both arms (one following on from the other) has ceased….hallelujah!

Thanks for looking and happy stamping :)

Shall We Reminisce?

Shall We Reminisce? 1

Being awol for four and a bit years means there is quite a lot of arty stuff that has not been shared here!

Mmmmm…shall we revisit some of my favourite makes over the coming months?

Apologies to those who may have already seen some of these on Facebook or Instagram, although not all of them will have appeared there…let’s call it a little catch up series 🥰

This was part of Sketchbook Revival run by Karen Abend…I find it very inspirational.

Always something to help unblock ones negative beliefs!

I’m definitely full of negative beliefs, especially when it comes to my own drawing/painting skills…

I just can’t help it…even though I more often than not end up with a piece I’m pleased with, I have this unfounded feeling that whatever I do will be rubbish so what’s the point of wasting my time! Crazy huh?

Again from the same year 2018 at Sketchbook Revival…

This was an exercise focusing on perspective lines in buildings, whilst some of mine are a little off, I’m O.K. with the added quirkiness:)

Pen and watercolour on watercolour paper.

Thanks for looking…enjoy your art journey.

This was my place!

 

This used to be my place!

I don’t mean the little cottage in my junk journal, I mean here here…on Blogger!

Things happened, mainly Blogger not playing ball with my iPad and iPhone, but also relocating and then moving back to our original house in early 2019 after 2 years. I missed being in the place I love best, Brixham.

 Obviously it’s now 2023 and four and a half years have passed…but I’m coming home, home to Blogger 😉

Things will be different as my art practice has evolved into much more than the stamping, although it won’t be abandoned altogether 😊.

I’ll be sharing an eclectic mix which hopefully won’t be too disjointed and always from an artistic view point.

P.S. the little cottage journal page was done with water soluble neocolours II and pastels on brown wrapping paper. Based on a view from the “Café Cùil” near Carbost on Skye.

The colours on the hillside were gorgeous that day, with just the right light, although perhaps my iPhone didn’t quite capture what I saw.

If you are ever in the area it’s a funky place serving tasty food and drink.
