40 & Fabulous!

Another day of isolation and another attempt at a watercolour cherry blossom wreath.

With love & best wishes

This was my first attempt at a cherry blossom wreath using my watercolours.

Scrumptious Donuts

Yet another day in isolation means another new watercolour technique; donuts!

Watercolour Feather Bookmark

Another new lesson in watercolours: a feather bookmark.

Watercolour Succulents

Am enjoying this isolation time buy learning lots of new watercolour techniques.

Today it was succulents!

Crochet Granny Squares

Having all of our commitments cancelled means that I have much more free time on my hands so I'm putting it to good use by teaching myself a new crafting skill - crocheting! I'm intending on creating one of these most days (while watching movies with the kids) so will hopefully come out of social isolation with a new blanket!

Dudley TP

There are some amazing companies who are generously giving away some beautiful images for people to use while social distancing. This is another one of them from Whimsy Stamp. Meet Dudley TP by Dustin Pike.

Missed birthday

I joined in with the Stamp Anniething Social Distancing event which they have running on Facebook. This was one for the freebie images. I think this will be used many times over the next few weeks for all of those birthdays which will be missed.

Live More

This card was a request from my elderly neighbour who asked for a card for a librarian who loved to garden, and this was my result.

Watercolour bookmarks

Here are a couple more recent plays with my watercolours, with the top one using my Schminke set and the bottom one using the Uniquely Creative Uniqolor brush markers.

Cherry Blossoms

For my last birthday I bought myself a set of Schminke watercolors and am now finally playing around with them. These cherry blossoms are my first attempt at loose florals.

Be You!

My daughter asked me to make this for a special friend of hers who was celebrating a birthday and who is a budding artist!

Braids in my Hair

Kit & Clowder recently had a mini monthly class for colouring braids and plaits using this super sweet image called Braids in my Hair by Connie Fong. I love this image and jumped into this class using my prismacolor pencils on kraft paper. So love how she turned out.
