Matryoshka Dolls

I need to alter one of these. I am sure I can find a way to fit one of these into my art journal. Mmmm

Be back later with photos of said journal. Need to locate charger. Now where did I put it?

A project for each month of the year

I plan to make an art jounal for each month of this year. January is an altered book. I started it today but I have not completed the cover just yet so I am hoping to get that done over the next few days.


I've used foiling, canvas, 3D gloss, acrylic ink (yummy)a glass cabuchon, a TH distressable image, words from a page of the novel used, copper foil tape, ransom numbers from a photocopy I made yonks ago, stamps with stazon ink and sticker letters so far.


I am going to aim to do at least one double page spread per week. I shouldn't find that to taxing time wise. Better get my skates on with week one's entry.

I hope to end up in December with 12 volumes of Art Journals of all different shapes and sizes; a catalogue of my creative journey through 2008. I have set myself this challenge. To find out how I get on keep popping back.

I will upload piccies tomorrow.

2008

Wishing everyone a happy new year. I know it is a bit late, but better late than never aye!

Well there has been so much going on in my life recently that I haven't had time to play and be creative so my one resolution for this year is to find time for me; creative playtime. I really look forward to sharing my creations here.

9 weeks plus 1

Apparently that is how old the baby is. It is about 1.5cm in length. It has arms and legs that are just starting to grow. I did have scan photos. I will upload pictures tomorrow :)

Moving forward (an update on me)

This week has been hectic. Those of you who know me will know that I am in the early stages of pregnancy and that unlike my other pregnancies, this one is proving to be difficult. I am feeling devoid of energy and pretty damned yucky all the time. I am not really moaning because I am overjoyed. I go for my dating scan later today. Things might seem a bit more real then.

Things are truly moving for me and my family at this time. I am also moving house. I had a phone call yesterday stating the the move would take place next week Tuesday which would have given me a week to organize my life into boxes. I don't think so! Needless to say the date has been changed. We are now moving on the 22nd.

We now have time to decorate and make the place our own before we move in.

The new house is bigger. I am thrilled with its location and everything. I cannot wait to get in there. I must remember to take lost of piccies.
