Unfinished business...

Things are calming down here a wee bit, and that is always a danger point as I start to lose my concentration.!!! I usually find that indulging in a spot of retail therapy helps, but Our Ben has gone to severe measures to keep me in the Studio..!!!

Did you spot it..??

Oh yes...he has literally chained me to my desk, lmao... Ah well.!!!

Seeing as I am sat here I thought I would take a load of piccies of lots of my unfinished journal pages for you to see. Most of them just have the backgrounds and a main image on them. A few have the start of some doodling. All will be returned to, no doubt over and over again.

This one is a start to finish. I finished all the doodling last night.

Enjoy xx

Fabulous work I am sure you will all agree. We have a waiting list still, but I am not sure if I will be able to fit another one in before Christmas. Will keep you posted.

I have had a lot of comments from people saying they wished they lived near so that they could attend my classes. Well, here's a little secret, most of my students live nowhere near me.!!! Many of them travel over 1 1/2 hours to come. And many of them travel from a lot further. Today, Chris and Linda's journey takes them 2 1/2 each way. Mandy and Olivia, 1 1/2 hrs, Jayne 1 1/4, Emma 1 1/2, Olive 1 1/2 hrs.The rest were between 30 mins to an hour. My "locals" are nowhere near "local", lol.  On Friday one of my ladies is travelling from Edinburgh, approx 4hrs, a journey she makes 3 or 4 times a year. She even had her 50th birthday party here in my studio..!!!

 So if you are still saying you live too far away, think again, I am sure we can make it worth your while. As well as sampling a fantastic, eclectic, Art from the Heart workshop, you get to see such delights as my daily outfit, first hand......whether there is, in fact anything growing in my beehivey updo, or whether it is all a vicious rumour...Ali the pretty parcel wrapper in action...Our Ben in all his glory sporting whatever Rugby injury he incurred that weekend....samples galore..the blue lollipop jar...and many more, far too exciting things to mention...!!! Go on you know you want to...lmao

I shall leave you with a page from the Ledger, have a fabulous rest of today...

Today in the studio

By heck, how are you all coping in this typically English October weather. Simply amazing isn't it. And all those of you who say it's too hot, stop mithering and enjoy it. I had the day off yesterday so we whizzed over to the seaside ans spent the day lazing on the beach. Did me the world of good, I can tell you.

Here's a few piccies from my older girls class as they have been finishing off projects.

Here's Mia and Katie with their sugar skulls.

Sooooo cool.

And this is Georgina, hiding behind her gorgeous Christmas tin.

 Today was another repeat of the ever so popular canvas painting class.

Everyone worked extremely hard and produced, as usual, stunning results

Here's the lovely Mell

I'll leave you with a page from the ledger.
