I paint and design a wide variety of art papers for my work and have been asked many times to share some of these-well here they are! This set comprises 7 sheets, each approx 4" x 12".

There was a point (honestly) to my messiness with all that paint.....I have a plan for a future series of projects which I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about starting-hence all the busy fabric painting and dyeing in preparation, as I don't want to use fabrics that are commercially purchased as they are, I like every piece to be TOTALLY unique! Oh...one other thing...there is a reason why artists shouldn't waste time creating beautifully painted nails, as paint seems to somehow chemically bond with polish and will NOT come off. I do try to plan it, but this messy look will have to stay for a few days, I'm far too busy making amazing painterly creations :) More updates soon on new stuff upcoming!

Finished a large flower order for one of my gallery customers this week.....phew! After all that intense neatness and beautiful stitching....things got kinda messy :)

simply beautiful....inspirational moment which had to be shared! I am sure my excitement far exceeds average considering this is just one single bloom,but this morning this was just a bud and I never grew irises before! Have nurtured this from a bulb,fed, watered and surrounded by salt and used coffee grinds to deter slugs ( not completely successful for some of them but I don't want to use pellets as we have both hedgehogs and badgers regularly in the garden at night!) Ah well, you may not all understand my over-excitement but all CAN enjoy the elegance of this stunning bloom! There may well be some irises appearing in my paintings before long.... :)
