This is my "page" for Leanie, based on a Gachaga "collage"
about the London Underground. The background is an actual
pavement area which is illuminated at night ..which gave me
the idea for the other landmarks:- The Tower of London,
St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, the Clock Tower of
the Palace of Westminster(Big Ben) and 14 St Mary Axe - alias
The Gherkin.

These are the pieces I have done for the Alice in Wonderland Jiggy ... after loosing my nerve halfway, they are all digi .. and I hope they are acceptable to my fellow jiggers!

This is my section of a "Home Decoration" spelling out Halloween .. can you find the "L" ?

These are 2" Paisley shaped chipboard pieces for a swap on UKS.

I used patterns a bit like the ones they use to do the henna designs
on hands etc .. even though Paisley isn't Indian at all ... its English!!

I am hosting a cj based on Sketches. These are the first two ... my own "Sweetie to Sweetheart" - my Mum; and "Deceiving" for Dusty Fairy ... a broken roadway in Florida that looks more like one of those Japanese garden lanterns than a full blown (sorry - just remembered this was destroyed by a hurricane!!) road.

This is my version of the LO for August on
Scrapology. The picture is a tinted postcard,
and I think the young lady is very pretty, hence
the title. I used three kits to make this:
Irene Alexeeva's Altered Ego, Kathryn Estry's
Roses For Elizabeth, and Faith True and Tracie
Stroud's Got Beads ... although I have changed
the colour of most of the elements!!

These are my tags .. all digi ... for
the Alice in Wonderland Tag swap.

Another LO for Scrapology .. this time from the June sketch.

Friday, July 01, 2011

This is my version of the July sketch challenge on
Scrapology. I knew as soon as I saw this piccy that I had to do something with it .. and I quite like how it has turned out!

Yet another long gap between posts .. really must do better!!!
















This time I am showing off the gorgeous CJ that everyone made for me .. the names are in the picies. The theme was Monotone ... choose a colour and stick to it ... sounds simple but what a great job everyone made of a not so simple task.!!

Oh dear, it is so long since I uploaded anything!!!! They do say "better late than never" don't they ... but who are "they" anyway???


OK, here we go ..... this is my page for Dudette's Sketches cj .... the outer circle(ish) and the photo positions were the original sketch .. and she did say she liked colour and "bumpy" embellies, honest!

These are my pages for Moxie's "Fire" cj .... it is supposed to be an "Art Journal" type entry but my mojo went heywire and I resorted to what I know best - digi !! I hope the style is "arty" enough and I haven't disappointed too much.

Yet more "Zentangle" type designs.
I have just found out that the name
"Zentangle" has been copy-righted
by Rick and Maria .. apologies if I
have misused it, I thought it was a
general term for a doodled design!!

These are my Frangles .. made up by me
without reference to their site ...
which I have never visited.
The four ATCs are Christmas, Easter,
Halloween and Harvest based designs.
The other five are try-out for Christmas
cards.

Can't seem to get away from these Zentangles!!
This is my LO for the Colour My World Art Journal/CJ.
It's for Pange, in Brown, Cream and Gold. All hand drawn
and using two colours of gold and three browns. I'm hoping the watercolour paper can be the cream!!
This is the next stage of our Take Ten CJ ... based
on old fashioned Theatre Posters.
Mine was a play by Augustus Thomas - Arizona.
The LOs are digi with a little Glossy Accents on
the conchos to make them stand out a bit and
a couple of extra leyers on the poster to make it look
worn and aged.
Three more, this time based on Indian type patterns.
Hand, Paisley and Hefalump.

Boy, are these zenty thingys addictive!!!
These are three more that are based on Mucha ..
again these can be traded ... with my take on the
patterns and a rather feeble attempt at faces!!

Sunday, August 29, 2010

Received a gorgeous ATC from Alipeeps .. a zenty Visage .. a face surrounded by super patterns ... it reminded me of Mucha, so I got out my book and these three ladies are the result. The blue one is a compliment to the fishy one .. whales and dolphins. They are for trade.


EDITED: Whales and Dolphins now Traded.

I have been experimenting with zentangles ... hadn't a clue what they were or how to do them, so I looked at lots of sites, got totally hooked, and these ATCs are the result!!! These are for trading, so anyone on UKS who has an opinion as to whether they are good enough to trade .. please let me know!
