Series: Wanderlust 2021 #31 I very nearly didn't do this lesson; this is another one from the Wanderlust guest host Kate Crane and the foundation process is quite similar to that used in the Found Poetry page I made earlier in the year. But, I enjoyed making that one so I decided to do this… Continue reading Wanderlust: painted texture
Of course, inspiration is hardest to find when I'm on a deadline. Birthdays at the start of the month are the worst because I don't tend to think about them until the month starts: "oh it's September now, what cards do I have to make, only two but they both need doing in the first… Continue reading Alcohol ink landscape

Title: Yellow rocket blast-offMedium: ceramicCreator: John @ Crazy Chicken Ceramics I'd been struggling to find something for my other half for Christmas. Unless I find something unusual, I have to leave getting anything until the last minute otherwise I run the risk of him just buying it for himself... so I was really pleased to… Continue reading OPA: rocket blast-off
The vast majority of my colouring is done with Copic markers, I've played with coloured pencils a few times (though I have to be in a particularly patient mood as those take forever to do), and then there are the occasional ones where coloured stamping takes centre stage. Apparently I made no notes whatsoever when… Continue reading Butterfly beauty
I haven't made very many cards at all this year, just ones for close family ā the ones I can't avoid doing š And it's not that I haven't been feeling creative, I've done plenty of mixed media and a bit of relaxing colouring. And I can't even use the excuse of having too many… Continue reading Peony bouquet

Title: Passengers Reflecting VIIMedium: oil on canvasCreator: Jo Holdsworth I'm trying to remember where I first came across Jo's work; although she is a local artist, I think it must have been on Instagram, and I was taken with her style right from the start. I don't normally like work featuring people, but there's something… Continue reading OPA: Passengers Reflecting VII
This one I blame Nancee for š I'd seen paper beads before but they'd never made it onto my must try list ā yes, it was a use for leftover patterned paper, but at the end of the day you had paper beads and that didn't really inspire me. Then I saw Nancee's What to… Continue reading Paper bead bracelet
The last of the stripy art cards and, in fact, the last of the art cards in this clear-up batch. As with the crossing stripes art card, this was a case of creating the stripy piece, gluing it to the art card and then figuring out what to do next. I started by drawing swirly… Continue reading Art card: Stripes & Oil
