Welcome to my Blog~

I am keen to have ART in my life and enjoy all fundamentals of ART, the creative & social side of it.
Finding out the how's and what's of ART is so intruging to me.
Mixed media is my first love, collage, glueing, sticking ~ bringing the creation to life. Having Fun with Art :)
Then sketching, drawing & doodling ~ especially in the phone book:) Husband hates that.
I have enjoyed different concepts of Art from Book Making to Mosaics, Painting and sketching.
Just being creative leaves you with a wonderful feeling.

Artworks @ McGregor Summer School ~ TRAVELS WITH MY PAINTBRUSH

Printing Activity we learnt with Catherine Parker.
Very easy and had alot of fun with.
Using a rubber camp mat.


















-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was a our first activity, when we received our water bottles there was a piece of paper inside to inspire us to create from it.
I got engine parts - took me a little while to be inspire by car parts.
Now looking at it I can see so many things to do with it.
This is a tracing technique & repeat the picture on a piece of Arches 300gsm
- with a purple and yellow wash background.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is CD Cases not the slimline ones.
Great idea this - prime the plastic or gesso it and then paint onto the surface.
You can scratch back, put stickers & and other papers onto it also.
These are ones I did - Work in Progress.

CD gift made by Stephanie for me, we had a night out 4 girls and a story to tell over the traffic lights. Lovely gift :)
