This was done in my journal with an inkjet transparency and water...it even does the colours where the glossy paper does not....I got three transfers  from this one photocopy in my transparency....if you look above at the transfer in the journal with the two pages below on the left hand side of the book you will see the large part face with eye and below that in the green paint if you look closely you will see the hand with the finger pointing up...that is the third try with the transparency...it shows up better on the book than this picture but it is faint but you can still tell it is a hand with a pointed finger.....

This transfer is done with glossy photo paper and water..so easy....

I have been busy painting again....gave up doing some swaps so I would have time for me to create; so many things to do and so little time to do it in....My muse came back to me with a vengence and I am now working on a golf painting for my darling partner in life and a canvas painting for me and a couple scratch art pieces...no I can't just do one thing at a time....isn't that an illness? lol.

Well today I broke to play with some transfers and these are just too easy and too much fun to do...

This transfer (right hand side) was done with pinesol and the book is an altered book I am doing with a partner...I will work in my book for a month and then we send it to the other one and we will work in each other's books for awhile...my friend picked the topic "Melancholy" and I froze at first, but once the thoughts started coming I just can't stop...I picked an old book on Paris and it has so many little sentences I can use right on the pages...it is so much fun.

Struggling with background colours to fit the painting....but GulfSprite did it!! Enjoy the video....from you tube

Hot and muggy today folks...the sun and overcast are battling it out to see who'll win....Doesn't matter to me which of them wins...I love the heat and don't mind rain....

I did a couple journal pages ...one is called Work in Red which I did from a workshop with Pam Carriker. I have pretty well done all Pam's workshops. She is an excellent teacher and an amazing artist and I always learn new things in her workshops.

this one is from the group I belong Art For The Creative Mind...It was a weekly challenge in our journals of masks and stencils.  I used watercolour, acrylics, daubers, watercolour crayons, distress inks on this page. It was just a fun thing to do.

I made these tags for a swap in California...what fun I have doing this!!

I guess I haven't been totally lax as here are a couple of  atcs I made of my cats for a swap called 'Cat in the Hat', of course.

This one is called Spirit

An Inspiration Card I did for a swap this one is Solitude

Oh my gosh, I really can't believe I have let my blog go this long. I apologize...just wasn't up to talking or painting of any kind...but back now and feeling good.

I will be posting lots more work in the days to come because my head is bursting with ideas so I will be spending my days in the studio trying to get my must to take them from my head to canvas, paper, journals and clay.....I know I should focus on my thing as my darling partner in life keeps telling me but I can't do that....I am too eclectic or a flibbergibit (spelling)....and perfer to think I  am more eclectic...sounds better don't you think?  (big smile here)....

Now this is my beautiful loving talented grandaughter...need I say more....that beautiful smile makes the world stop stop and stare for awhile...she is truly amazing just the way she is.

Sunday Spring NOT, 2011

Well it started off with snow then sun, then snow again like a minnie blizzard and now rain and the wind is whipping around.  I think we have really "teed off" the heavens....

I bought the Memories Slice Machine this week and I couldn't be happier with it...I am having a blast.
I am off to my studio downstairs now to do some creating, laundry, pouring molds ...that should keep me busy so I won't be dwelling on the weather.
