Fairy number 2

So all those intentions went with the wind ... one fairy a day ? Hmmm well i should have checked with life first, that was just a bit too optimistic. I shall have to do catch up with the fairies as i go.
I have had the most busy weekend and found it impossible to get any time to play until today and even today has been hectic but i have spent the last two hours finishing my book fairy which is a collage on encaustic background.

ps, see post below as this is second today .. wow am i back !! all this posting hehe !!

I am back with art

As many of you know, i have had a difficult year and the last few weeks i have not done very much blogging. My interpretation of blogging is 'Sharing' and i love to blog hop and to be inspired by the wonderful art of my fellow bloggers. I have done little of this as i have been needed at home a lot due to circumstances.
Adam my son is now in his first week after his op and doing well. I am thrilled and although we are still helping out with the children etc, i feel i can get back into my art a little more and my blogging too. I shall be slowly but surely checking in with you all so if you havent seen me in a while at your blog, you will soon :)

One of my favourite talented mixed media artists is the lovely Marsha Salver Jorgensen from Tumblefish Studio's. Marsha and I had a brief discussion a while back ( virtually of course ) on backgrounds and collage. Marsha enjoys the collage and i prefer to make the backgrounds ... dream team or what !!! hehe. Well what we decided was that we would both enjoy a collaboration just for fun. I sent Marsha some atc backgrounds and Marsha who lives in USA worked her magic on them and returned them to me. Imagine my thrill to find not only these amazing collage fairies on the three backgrounds, but also a stunning collage in a frame that Marsha made for me. I cannot tell you just how much more amazing they are when you look at them physically rather than a photo. My camera could not do this beautiful collage justice.
Marsha i feel honoured to have worked on these art pieces with you and i will treasure them and display your beautiful work with pride. Thank you.

Here they all are. Three atc's - backgrounds by june macfarlane & collage by Marsha S Jorgensen. Framed collage by Marsha Jorgensen

2nd post today

well i had to post when i finished this frame. Its a mini plastic frame that i altered using ink and embossing powders and distorting the hot melted copper and pink powders as i went using various tools to move it around.
The image is collaged with inks,papers,stamps and image of bird & mini flower.

Hello everyone

The wanderer returns :)

I am back to play i hope. I am thrilled to say my son had his operation on the anuerysm last thursday and it was a success. It was a very frightening time and we are so relieved. On Saturday he was allowed home to his young family. We have been kept extremely busy throughout and helped Adam settle in. Today i am home and rang to check up like any mother would do but then found i finally had a little time on my hands so i made something new ... it was lovely to play again and have just done a little light crafting and made this card. Its mainly for the choc and mint challenge at my forum
While i am here though, i would like to say thanks to all my friends for their birthday wishes, cards, support, friendship and much much more. I have some fabulous friends at my forum, Trimcraft forum and here on the blogs. I love you all and without all of you, this year would have been much worse to get through .... you have kept my chin up
thanks

In the meantime thanks for all your lovely comments.
















This was the cake Adam made for my 50th at the weekend

Lots to do Princess

I made this one for the Lots to do challenge which is an open challenge this week. I would have loved to have time to do last weeks with the charms but it wasnt to be. Anyway here is this weeks offering

Princess has a small altered frame ( tesco ) which has been sanded and then inked with various and randomly embossed in gold. I also randomly stamped the word princess on the frame in stazon.

The image is a transfer on fabric which has been painted in lemon acrylic paint. Added the word princess in black stazon on this too. I loved the aged,effect this has and the way the fabric weave shows.
