Congrats to all winners, love those tickets.
thanks for the link Dyan, not had a laptop for 2 weeks, just got back on today and saw that on your blog, nice suprise lol
I will be forever waving the empty pages at hubby till he gets the hint and buys more for me lol

You get suedehead Tim



Please send me your address's so I can get your tickets out to you. There are 2 tickets left so keep leaving your comments please.

Had a great workshop today. I was teaching the ladies how to paint faces. Not lifelike, but whimsical faces. None of the ladies had done much painting and drawing before and just look at the results. Absolutely fabulous results. I will be repeating this workshop in the next brochure if you fancy having a go.


Heres my practise drawing.

Transferred onto the canvas and painted in.


After the class had finished I decided to continue on and finish the canvas, by adding my Dylusions spray inks through my stencils, and extra paint.

I then printed a quote out onto Claudines sticky back canvas.




The practise head was painted onto card and then I added it to a journal page.










Not my usual style but really pleased with them.

Enjoy xx

    YAY faces - I love faces, and I do wish Sandy P would stop assuming her faces are a thing to laugh at, and realise She Can Do It,

    I wish our womenfolk had the courage to realise the beauty they create.

    I love how these pages build up. I can't draw, have no imagination but I can appreciate how journalling brings thoughts to life.

    These faces are gorgeous and I love how they become part of an unique canvas or journal. Now it's something I'm going to have to try but need some sleep first.

    *sigh* ok ok - I will practice lots - then, when I book onto this class in the new brochure, I should be 'top of the class' eh teach?
    And I see there is another page in your journal for me to stroke ...
