The skelly and me

I made a pile of canvases from an assortment of old maps, book pages and papers. I like this kind of surface as it's easy to make and if and when something worth hanging up materialises it can be easily attached to a frame.

a layer of Gesso and a round of sewing and they're ready to go

I decided I wanted to use a skeleton just because I have one and I've never used one before. It was only when I photographed my skeleton I realised it's actually a 'he'

I won't analyse the end result as I don't really know what it's all about myself, something to do with spontaneous art I think

I wanted to use the lyrics of a John Paul White song titled 'This Life' but I didn't get them with the download, remember the days when you actually went out and bought a CD and you got a little booklet with the words in it... erm sound like my Mum there, but anyway...

nope, not getting it, interpret it as you wish...

oh and theres a woman in the bottom right of the picture with 'keep walking' written around her head, now it all makes sense, right?? if you'd like to explain...

Goddies galore

I recently did a goodie box swap with Dagmar from studio d

talk about being spoilt rotten!

so many lovely bits and bobs to unwrap!

a little felted purse, cotton handkerchiefs, lace, ribbon roses and paper flowers galore!

lace wrapped tags, buttons and bingo tokens

trims, buttons and a crocheted cuff, I LOVE these colours so much! perhaps a little bit of vintage seaside and candyfloss...

I love Canada too Dagmar! thank you so much for this wonderful goodie box, I can't wait to get started on a new project, the trims and buttons above are first on my list! superb!

Should've been sunset

I did a couple more pages in my colour journal yesterday, as my post title reads, the theme should've been sunset, but it's not! I seem to have ended up with...

a rather depressed looking sun, poor fellow, perhaps it's the thought of leaving! and then of course...

two pyramids and a king, I mean really, how did this happen??

my next page resulted in much of the same non-themed work

not a lot of sunset going on here either, although I do have stars, at least it's a step in the right direction!
