Regal ATC

I seem to always go back to my atc's as i find the size seems to work best for me. I enjoy smaller and larger pieces occasionally but i do believe the atc is my fave. This one again is a mixed media collage i have entitled 'Regal' layers of acrylics,gels and inks plus postage stamps

Spring painting

Thought i would join everyone else in an interpretation of Spring. Spring is my favourite time of year and altho the clocks went forward in the UK last night, announcing British summertime ... I believe summer is a way off yet.
This is a small mixed media painting of mine although the swirly bits in the background is a stamp

Heart Hangers, Encaustic & wood burning

These are both my creations using my new 'Heart Hangers' (click on link to see other DT work & the new set)
I enjoyed making these as they were so different. Hope you like them too.


Below are my latest try out pieces. In the first one made the encaustic background in silver and gold and then used beeswax to layer the collage lady on to the piece.
The next piece is my very first try at woodburning. I also inked the piece and added a tiny brad for decoratio. It seems like fun so shall practice some more with this :)

My Mojo blinked again

 Its very very on and definitely off at the moment but every now and again my mojo blinks at me and lets me create which i very much need to do. This is a folded tag i made today just as i fancied making a tag that was a little different, its cosmic shimmer sprays and a mushroom spray (cant see it well on the front and back of the tag, then stamped and embossed in white flourishes. The inside image is of course one of my own dezinaworld images which is printed on canvas and then another embossed flourish added and the thanks sentiment stamped
