ATC...one in need of a home (ADOTED BY KAY)

I just love these ATCs I made today...I call them teasers because the texture is under the acrylic and you can't touch it...so it's a tease right? lol
I made three, two of which are going postal in private swaps...the very first person to email me at my new email address can have the third. My new email is under my photo :)

A house


I got this great little house kit a while ago and just rediscovered it, unopened!, so I thought I would put it together and decorate it. I have used old book pages, distress inks, shellac, fusible film, angelina fibers, chipboard, embossing...etc!
Please note that the tiles on the roof were placed individually...I used a tiny tag punch and placed them all one tiny tile at a time.
The house is from Doodlebug design

a sketch

I enjoy sketching but have been so busy for a while now that I just haven't had the time, it relaxes me and I really enjoy it and that is what is important. This sketch doesn't mean anything, she doesn't even have a title or name, she was just something I did last night as I lay in bed. She won't stay as a lead sketch, I am going to get out my inks and pastels and finish her off...in my own time :)

The State of things

well this is where all the action is at the moment, projects everywhere, lol...and yes I have taken over the kitchen table also as well as an additional 6 seat table :)
All in the name of art!!!

ATC for Domonique

I love this ATC, it is a sneaky Halloween theme, if you look directly at the piece it looks fairly plain but if you tilt it you will see the cracks in the bat and the secret message that I have etched onto the acrylic. The tree is merely PVA glue

ATC for Jan

I am currently running an ATC swap...nearly finished, this is the ATC I have done for Jan Palmer...her chosen theme was "from the heart", I have used lots of texture and then I have put it behind acrylic and then worked more on the face...something different :)

book pages

I'm in my first ever paperbag book swap and these are my pages so far...in total I have to do 24 pages (2 different designs)

Spring Carnival

It's summer here in Australia, so spring is a while off, but with the heat exhausting us all I thought I would create something a little "cooler", Spring Carnival is a bit bigger than the last few dolls I have done, her body is 11 inches in length, the style I have created for her is, what I call, "bottle".

just a casual scrapper

I always state that I'm not a scrapbooker...and I'm truly not, I began my papercraft journey as one and was very dedicated to it, but I totally sucked at it (I can fondly reflect). What has this got to do with the picture? That's a layout I did (as per request from the magazine), it was recently published in Australian Scrapbook Creations (vol8 #11). I was asked to share my fave technique (impasto :) ) I've been published a couple of times but this is the first time in a scrapbook magazine...I guess I'm a casual scrapper :)
