Friendship Canvas

Hello lovely crafters and followers. I am sorry I have not been around much, life and my situation has been getting the better of me, however things turns for the better this week. I have been busy.

New project is a custom order canvas that a new friend in Queensland commissioned for a dear friend of hers. Her directions were, Pink, flowers and pretty. This is what I came up with. Both the buyer and recipient LOVED it, which I am so happy about.





I used my Forgotten Meadows collection that I printed one sheet as an A3 to give me a base. In my stash I found this beautiful piece of antique pink lace that I had not found a project for in a number of years. And what do you know, it looks perfect. I printed out some of the ephemera from the Forgotten Meadows Book Kit too and added that in.

I am really happy with how it all turned out.

More and More Birthday Cards

This is another birthday card I did for a work colleague for this week. She likes pink and butterflies so I work with those and some up with some thing rather pretty in the end. I only hope she likes it.

Syncronised Napping in PINK

Lately I have been going through the masses of family photos that my mother had held on to before her passing away in 2008. She saw them as some evidence or history of us as people and a family, which I entirely agree with. Moments were captured, some more embarrassing than others and some useful for black mailing purposes later on in life, but they all demonstrated the evolution, change and adaptation of each of us through the years.
You can tell I have been talk with my brother today, I am rather philosophical and introspective.

So, amongst the pictures I came across a photo of my self curled up sleeping in pink clothing in a bed with pink better with our family cat curled up next to me. Anyone who knows me today will be aware of my disdain for the colour pink. As an artist I decided to work with this color to see if I could actually create some thing worth while. I think I did.
