Series: Wanderlust 2021 #30 A new theme and this time it's texture. I love a bit of texture with my mixed media so this theme should be perfect for me. Though I am being a bit more selective (picky!) at the moment so I've only actually completed two of the four classes and, to be… Continue reading Wanderlust: leaf in texture
Yes. They do look like googly eyes. No. That wasn't the intention. But, yes, it does amuse me 🙂 More thin strips of card. This is a great way to use up those odd offcuts of patterned or painted papers and makes an interesting, more individual, alternative to using patterned paper straight out of a… Continue reading Art card: Stripes & Circles

Title: cute rat pileMedium: acrylic on canvasCreator: Kim Onyskiw I think this was given to my other half by a friend quite a few years ago, not long after we got our own rats. But I could be mistaken. I do know that I didn't buy it, though it is a cute pile of ratties.… Continue reading OPA: cute rat pile
Q. What to do with an offcut of lino that is too big to throw away but not really big enough to create a detailed scene...? A. Use it to practise carving smooth curving lines and delicate straight ones. the carved lino (even though it looks like the lines are raised) Q. What to do… Continue reading Lino print: Curved lines
The only problem with making art out of the odds and ends left from other projects and experiments is that it can be hard to identify some of the components. The pink is obviously left over from playing with alcohol ink, but I'm not sure about the brown — I think it's a scrap from… Continue reading Art card: Crossing Stripes

Series: Wanderlust 2021 #29 A few weeks ago, as we were approaching half way through the Wanderlust year, a survey about the course dropped into my inbox. Filling it in got me to thinking about how I was feeling about doing it this year and looking back at the projects I completed when I did… Continue reading Wanderlust: tag booklet
This started out as a piece of card with some drywall tape stuck to it. I had these flowers which were an offcut from last year's Mother's Day card andI knew I wanted to use them on this art card, but they needed some more contrast. Several thin layers of paint gave me the sort… Continue reading Art card: Bleeding Hearts

I had only done one proper linocut (rather than stamp carving) before I made this one in June last year. I was prompted, quite literally, to do it by the announcement of that month's printing prompt from Handprinted (a UK shop dedicated to all supplies print-related) over on Instagram. The theme was experiment. the design… Continue reading Lino print: Experiment
I think the colour on the background is alcohol ink, although it could be Copic markers, or refills... I have a vague recollection of getting a few drips of whichever on a piece of kitchen roll, quite liking the effect, and then deliberately adding a few more. It was quite a while ago, and it… Continue reading Art card: Crackle Vase
