I took a break from texture and got out my Dewent Inktense pencils and watercolour pad...and got to playing. I love the depth of colour I get from the pencils, but when you bring in another brilliant product like Lindy's Stamp Gang's Starburst Stains you get an even more amazing effect...and the shimmer!!! Wow I love love love the shimmer. Anyhoo my title mentions sharing...weeeeell I am super excited to let you know that some of my sketches are being turned into craft stamps...how friggin cool is that?! Look out March 7th for the official release from Queen Kat Designs



put the pencil down and step away from the drawing!

I have loved working on the one-eyed-women canvases, they are amazingly relaxing and I will be teaching them at a retreat in August for Cindy at A Scrappe Angels Heaven in Victoria.
I got out my watercolour pad yesterday and my Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils...of course the beautiful glitzy blue and pink shimmer you can see is from Lindy's Stamp Gang



I was going to use my lovely white paint pen to highlight but opted for silver...I think it was the perfect choice as she has such a great shimmer




yes she has lots of detail but it was so hard to know when enough was enough...I still don't know if it is enough...all I know is that I really enjoyed it and it won't be my last one-eyed woman



yes I'm still here

Circle Blooms demo flowers

Demo Diva at Western Australia Craft & Quilt Show

Boo! Have you missed me? yes I know a few of you have, and to those thank you for the emails concerned about my lack of posting here on my blog. I have been crazy busy. I went to Melbourne for a weekend workshop and had a great time with Cindy Porter and the lovely students and staff from A Scrappe Angels Heaven. The work the ladies did was beautiful and I loved teaching them. The store is amaaaaaaaazing! 

So after my Melbourne trip I was off on another flight...Perth! It was so wonderful to get back to my home state to catch up with family and friends. Of course the trip was really a business trip and my first job was at the WA Craft and Quilt Show where I was hosted as "interstate guest". I did Circle Bloom and GT Dipper flowers using Lindy's Stamp Gang Colorshots and Magical Micas and Derwent Inktense pencils and colourblocks...all available from The Thread Studio. I was really lucky to be working at Dale's stand because The Thread Studio is stocked with some of my most favorite products. My next job was a workshop at Scrapbook Central where I taught a variety of techniques that went in to creating an original and GENUINE antique wood printer tray. So now my trip is behind me I am in the throes of moving house...again!!! The house that we are going to is actually the last house we rented...how funny is that!?! Anyhoo I promise I'll be a bit more active with my creations as soon as I'm settled in to my new work space.
