This week I’ve painted a couple of new candle holders. The first one was inspired by a glass I painted that has had quite a few favourites in my Etsy shop and been featured in a treasury (Treasury). It is of black cats and what I hadn’t anticipated is of course it fits the halloween …
With the strange weather we’ve had I’m only now able to tell if my sunflowers will be monster ones again. I can report that 2 of the surviving ones will definitely have multiple flowers but the plants are no way near as big as last years at the moment. The flowers are not even out …
It is blissfully quiet at my house today and I just realised why. The baby seagull has stopped squawking and is learning to fly – yipee! It is obviously so pleased with itself that it no longer needs to be twittering for it’s mum. I managed to get a photograph of one of its mini …
My blog today includes some of my favourite things I’ve found on Folksy. There are too many to list, so this is a very small selection! Brooch from Ellie’s Treasures Little Dotty Jewellery Acrylic painting on canvas by GweddusArt Isle of Wight Clock by Dew Drop Crafts
I’ve had a few days away, hence not writing a blog earlier this week. The break was good, I didn’t touch a computer for 3 days! Sadly this very hot weather doesn’t suit me though, so for 2 days of the week I’ve done nothing having zero energy. I had hoped to do an open …
I’ve not exhibited in a gallery exhibition yet, so can’t really tell you the pros and cons. However I do enjoy looking round them. Gloss art in Exeter have just opened a new one displaying work from Devon based artists. I went to their open evening last night and it is definitely worth a visit, …
For the first time I failed to do 2 blogs in a week last week, unless you count reblogging! I do have a good excuse, a customer wanted a pet portrait but she needed it by the end of the week, which gave me 3 days. This was achieved just, I was baking the glass …
The weekend didn’t start well with the village fair being cancelled. I was looking forward to it but the fields were too soggy! So in light of my positive blog on rain, I’ve been busy creating 2 new products. The first are sun catchers because we might get some sun one day! I decided to …
Feeling very pleased with myself, I’ve completed my tax return on-line, phew! Took longer than planned of course. First of all it said I already had an account, it turns out I did register in 2008 but for what I have no idea! This meant I had to apply for a new ID number and …
First experience of on-line tax return and dancing Bunnies! Read More »
Having found a way of recycling some old cloudy glasses, as mentioned in my last blog, I am quite pleased with the result. I had fun, just going with the flow as the end product is for me. I love experimenting with designs and luckily with Pebeo vitrea glass paints you can wipe away mistakes …
