Another stamp rescued from the unused pile and another play with the Peerless watercolours. I am loving the colours and also the convenience of the Peerless — which reminds me, I really ought to do a quick blog post about how I organised them. This has to be the simplest design I've done recently. I… Continue reading Flutterbye trio
The things we do for our art. Specifically, emptying, washing and drying used teabags. Ever since I came across Ruby Silvious and her tea bag art, I've wanted to have a play.

This one was for my neighbour, who does like an occasional tipple; I didn’t have any whisky bottle images to hand, so had to go with… Continue reading Birthday: Cheers

For me, no-line… Continue reading Birthday: No-line bear
Once again, I’m cutting it fine creating a challenge entry in time… where does the month go?
