salt dough biscuits

These are salt dough biscuits that I have recently made for my friends daughters. I have put them in a pretty box for each of the girls, with a label attached that says "DO NOT EAT. pretend you have a Bakery or Cafe".  I personalized them by writing "Nancy's & Beatrice's home made biscuits".

Art Journal

I've started an art journal, probably a little late in the year I know but nevertheless I will continue with it. My 12 year old daughter has started to work on one as well. My journal will have a motivational theme to it, with inspirational quotes, positive thoughts and ideas, dreams, aspirations and achievements. Life of course isn't always easy and positive, it can be tough and overwhelming, but keeping focused on encouraging and reassuring thoughts I intend to illustrate events, views, perceptions and experiences in my daily life.

Alison's Poppies

My cousin wanted a painting to hang in her living room.
 I love the colours which the American artist Shirley Novak uses in her Poppy paintings. I showed my cousin Shirley's work and she loved it, so I painted these two canvases resembling Shirley's style. I used Acrylics which I find so versatile. They now hang up on Alison and Steve's living room wall and the subtle colours compliment the rest of the room.

Pink Blossom 1 & 2

Inspired by a room with a subtle Oriental theme, I painted these two canvases in Acrylics. The Cherry Blossom adds a feminine, delicate touch.
The cotton canvases are 40 cm x 60 cm.
£140 for the pair.

Italy in frames

I am very pleased with the frames done by Ash at County Crafts in Melton Mowbray. My pictures will now go on display at Dolce Vita, Cafe/bar in Melton. Each picture is on sale at £60.

Tea pot Zentangle

I am totally hooked on Zentangles. I use my fabulous Karismacolor soft pencils to add a touch of colour. I like simple black or white modern frames, they work perfectly with this style of drawing.
