Aaaargh, I finally get round to blogging a long post and I have had nothing but disaster all the way. The camera has somehow deleted all the precious images I wanted to show you, includin g the fantastic work of the kids classes.!! Grrr..!!! Then I come to upload other pictures to find that the upload method has changed..!!!! Why can' they just leave the frikkin thing alone..??? The old method was easy peasy, but now..Jeez..!!!you have to find the file, find the image, up load it and start all over again right from the beginning..!! Holy mackeroly, do they think we all have time to fart and fanny around.?? I certainly don,t or the patience. My brush with the lurgy has left me with an inability to concentrate ( yes, even worse than normal, lol), short attention span and ability to fall asleep if anything takes more than 15secs.!! My tolerance levels are full to overflowing and my laid back attitude has packed its frikkin suitcase and gone for a long wander. I have one thing to say to the people behind Blogger.
"I have only one nerve left and you're frikkin standing on it..!!!"
Anyway, on to more pleasant news. Drum roll please..........
My new paints, which have sold out 3 times, no less..apologies to those who havent managed to secure them yet!! Ooh you dont know what you are missing...
Heres the official blurb from the website, lol
A new range of beautifully vibrant acrylic paints. They are packed with pigment to give them a rich and luscious quality. They are a semi translucent paint which makes the building up of layers, in your work, simple to achieve. No muddying of colours and a dream to work with
They have a beautiful matte finish, which is perfect for writing on. Extremely important in your art journals or Atc’s.
And my favourite bit, the jars have big lids so you can dip baby wipes, splodgers, lids, or whatever takes your fancy into them. Even the traditional brush!!
This first collection comprises 10 luscious colours for you to dabble about with. (50ml pots)
They have been made specifically to my requirements, and the only downside , at the moment, is I neeeeeeed more colours, lmao. Just look at the big lids, made for dipping things in.. Fabby dabulous..yayy.!!
The teal is a must, as is the pink, green, blue, red orange, yellow, purple. Not forgetting the black and white, which are an absolute necessity.
So here's a treat for you. Do you fancy owning your own set, free of charge, compliments of us..??? All you have to do is leave a comment on this post, and I will pick one at random on Monday.
Heres some pages from my altered, altered book. It is a copy of Tolkien's, Lord of the rings, which was on the verge of being thrown away due to fire and smoke damage. Now I couldn't allow that to happen, could I.?? So here it is rescued., many of the pages are works in progress, but then again nearly all of my work is, lol.
The fish images are from the gorgeous Patti at
Lisas altered art. Go check out her fabulous site. If you order any of the downloads, just mention you were recommended by me and she usually sends you a little something as well. But be warned you will be on her site for hours, lol
I,ll keep you informed of their progress.
Are you free next Tuesday..?
Do you want to make a fabulous Christmas project..?
Well get yourself down to mine to produce this...
An unusual take on the festivities. You will be altering a hardback book, inking, spraying, grunging, diecutting, sticking, stamping and generally having a frikkin whale of a time.!! You can book

Right better shoot as a certain little grand daughter will be landing very shortly. I picked her up from school yesterday and we went shopping for a halloween costume for her We also called in at Lidl where she insisted on buying me some of those "cauliflower roses", lol. They are actually the cabbage roses that I love (of which the lovely Sue bought me a fabulous bunch on the Ranger 2 weekend), but from now on they will be forever known as the cauliflower roses..!!!
Have a great weekend and don't forget to leave a comment.!!
Enjoy xx
