Remember the denim jacket I was trying to embellish? I didnt think about it enough beforehand, I jumped in with flowers and it was turning into a crafty flower refashion. I was not loving it.The orig...
I was ruminating out load this morning as I sautéed the lamb chops for my slow cooker. Yesterday I was at a private lesson with a student and she was said how she wished she could get the C...
This is what I finished today in the studio. What is it? I mean, besides a bee. It began here, as a game piece in a small box that I bought at a garage sale.I know people make jewellery pe...
Last week I was working on a new painting. It was going well and I was excited. My partner walked by the studio and I called him in to show it to him. He liked it, but with a big reservation... "...
I havent done any refashioning for ages. What I miss most is the hand-stitching. I wish I had some projects waiting for me, ready to hand stitch that I could pick up whenever the urge hit me.As we ar...

I spent the evening drawing this little cosmos that I peeled off the lemon tree yesterday. The picture is actually a little larger than my drawing. I did it with my micron pen - I dont know if I used...
I drew the woman on the right page first, and later I drew the woman on the left page with the bow and arrow. It wasnt until I was finished and drew in the little line of grass that they came togethe...
65 people entered the drawing for the 21 Secrets Art Journaling Workshop. That is pretty huge. Many of those were multiple entries so it came to a huge bunch of little cut out squares of paper in a h...

I finished Bee Girl a few days ago. If you want to see her beginnings, go here.She is coloured pencil and acrylic on wood. I wonder what her story is?
And that isnt necessarily a bad thing. Can even be a good thing - but it often doesnt feel good.You have already seen the very beginning of this... is it a drawing or a painting? not sure.It is an ex...
This cheeky little goanna has been hanging around lately, climbing on the water heater and climbing into the shed. I wonder if he (she?) is related to the big one who hangs out at the other end of th...

This video illustrates one of the reasons I have such a deep belief in the power of creativity. This woman has not only changed her life from disability to superability. She has changed the larger pe...

I began writing the draft for my class in the 21 Secrets Workshop today. I had been procrastinating a bit, out of nervousness. But to my surprise and delight I am having fun.
