New Blog, New Name, New Art

Howdy.  Just so you know, I've got a new blog The Artling and it's really coming along nicely.  Just so as you get an idea of what you might see over at The Artling, here is one of my little ink drawings based on emotions. 

 

And in case you need even more motivation to check it out - there is a free ebook on sketching available there too.  Look forward to catching up with you! xx

Exciting News Soon!

My dear readers, I've been gone from this blog, and from you, for much longer than I expected! Lot's has happened but I won't go into a narrative of everything over the last year plus! I just wanted to let you know I'm fantastic and creating up a storm! In fact, I will be announcing something very new and very exciting in the next little while. Be ready!

Blogging hiatus.

I've been blogging for over 4 years now and loved every minute of it. Suddenly, however, I don't love it. This is a feeling I could never have imagined but, here it is. So I'm taking a break. At this point I plan to be back at some stage later this year either here or over at my new blog I've been working on (it was going to be a surprise!) I don't want you to think it was you that made me feel like this. I have truly loved and felt humbly privileged to have your company here. It is you I will miss! I just don't want to be a blogger right now. So,

cheers!

Look what I just got in the mail!

My prize from Grace of Little Black Crow's giveaway! Woohoo!

I'm waiting for something

I'm not sure what.


But while I'm waiting I'm having a lovely time with the daily 'thank you' posts on THXTHXTHX. Like todays...

and yesterdays...

I think you get my drift now...

"Leah Dieterich's mother always told her to write thank you notes. So she does. To everything. thxthxthx is her daily exercise in gratitude."

Giveaways? What giveaways?

The giveaways are coming! I promise!

Firstly I sent out the prizes to the winners of the last giveaway (no. 2). I posted them off last week so you should have them by now winners! Still waiting to hear from incywincycider though. I don't have your address so please contact me!


I've been slow in offering giveaway no. 3 & 4 because I'm working on some big news here and I'm not quite ready to share yet. Soon. I promise!

My Creative Space

I'm joining Kirsty in showing my creative space again this week. While I haven't been posting much lately a lot has been going on albeit mainly in my brain. However, today I am experimenting with what I think might become my new favourite thing - Ampersand Gessobords.
These carefully constructed PH neutral boards are perfectly coated with a special gesso finish that is specifically for acrylic or oil paints. They are light and phenomenally sturdy. I'm thinking they will easy for posting and shipping. I'm also doing further experiments with oil paints and coloured grounds.
