I used a tp roll, needle, thread,glue gun and various types of fabric. I used fabric from a baby's hat to cover the tp roll, then I fastened the corners with hot glue. I used gathering stitch to make rounded ball-type shapes for the top of the cupcake. I made three of these, varying the colour and size. I hot glued everything together, tied a ribbon around it and called that George.

My work handbag was out of control! This is my bag on drugs: I couldn't zip it shut so I decided that I needed an organizer to help me out. So now my handbag can zip close a little easier and I don't have to go fishing round the bottom of the bag to get what I want!

I picked some pod-looking things from a tree in my yard and decided to do a Pop Art version of it.  I used Conte charcoal pencils, coloured pencils and markers.  The finished piece wasn't too bad! The background colours are very engaging.

I finished a painting of a house today.  I will go through the steps of this painting: 1) Started with a pencil sketch on canvas board: 2) Added a few washes, spattered blue and topped with a green wash in the background to represent the sky.  Also added dark grey to roof: 3) I began to add blue on the walls of the house. Also added lighter greys, light violet and white to roof: 4) Finished painting.

So I have two paintings that are not yet finished.  The first is called 'Still life with kettles.  First I painted in the background of this piece using earthy colours.  Then I painted in the objects.  When I showed it to a friend who is an art teacher, she told me that the painting looked unfinished so I will add layers of translucent colour on each part of the piece. The second painting is called 'Fishing boats'.  The background of sea and sky was added first.  Then I added the frothy waves, the sand and the fishing boats.  I put in the piece of the island in the background and I still have to put a lighthouse on the island.

So I had to decorate this item for my family reunion. I used a hard cover artist's sketchbook, different types of paper, glue and other items all pictured here: First I used gift paper and simply stuck it to the outside of the book's back cover.  I used pinking shears to cut the paper: Then I started to stick plain white acid-free paper onto the front cover.  I cut out a neon greenish yellow piece which represented grass, as well as brown card and green paper for the trunk and leafy part of the tree: I also added light blue strips for the sky Then I rushed off to the bookstore and got a bag of raised foam letters, used it for the book title. Finished front cover: Thanks for visiting my blog!

I took a photo of some huts, trees and part of the Lifeguards Headquarters, then did a painting based on that photo.  I painted the sky in the upper right corner of the page.  Then I added large, broad strokes to represent the mountains in the background. Next I painted some huts and began to paint trees. Adding tree parts and details in the foreground. Working on the lifeguard building. Finished piece. Just ignore the shadow -_-
