Fimo play

 Hi everyone, Well i had a play with my fimo for the very first time. I had fun and created some tiny roses embellishments and painted them with glitter paint to catch the light. I was fairly pleased with how they turned out as its always hit and miss with a new medium isnt it?

Back to my roots

Its been a while since I really got back into my mixed media painting and collage so today i had a really good time with these pieces. All are atc size.Using paints and inks and gel mediums was bliss.Isnt it funny we allways want to move with the times and use all the latest products and mediums but in the end its what we enjoy the most that counts .... getting paint and inks and other messy stuff is what i do best so from now on i shall try to remember that.

'strawberry' 

gel medium,acrylics and stawberry image

'shadows' gel medium and pen inks.

 'Joy of being' collage peices and paper with distress inks
