Journal Pages

Sun and Moon ..............

This has been a fun journal page to play with, once again i have used Marvy Markers as washes.
I have spent a very pleasant sunny morning in Melbourne creating this page.

I have 2 weeks to go till i see my surgeon i cant wait to be able to get out and do some retail THERAPY..........................

shading around the faces...............

Four Card Swap

...............................This mermaid is painted using Atelier Interactive Acrylic paints. I have watered them down considerably and used them as washes. Added a few Crystals for a bit of bling and some liner work. Voila she is done.

I have another four card swap also in mind, then i wont know which one to send to my partner.........................

Bonjour

Once again i have been using my marvy markers as a wash of colour, I have used many layers to create the depth of colour in her eyes and hair.

Her name is BONJOUR.............

Artist Trading Cards

I have been playing with my pastel pencils again, they are the easiest thing to use when you cannot walk around properly.

This swap is for JAV an artist trading group that i help run with 2 other fellow Australian artists. Each month we have different themes and ideas that we have to create with in mind.


This month is a 4 card swap,they must be joined to work on and then cut and separated when finished. Each card is to stand alone!!!

I have just let my imagination run, always butterfly wings and ladies faces- I just love them.

Rehab/September 2011

Rehab September/ Playing with some pastel pencils

What a year 2011 has been, first my achillies and now a total hip replacement!!!!!!

2 weeks down, 1 in hospital and then 9 days in Rehab. I thought this was going to be like a nursing home and i didn't want to go but it was almost like a holiday, the room was very nice, food brilliant and all the staff-nurses, physio,ocupational therapists were fantastic.Since i have come home i am really missing my Milo and chefs special for morning and afternoon tea

I managed to have a little play with some carbothello pencils. Unfortunately with the hip,you are restricted to not being able to sit at less than 90degrees, so you cannot sit at a desk and lean forward. This makes art work very difficult.
