There really are no rules !






I have had immense fun creating this pair, I have to admit they were almost thrown out
 more than once. But, in the end, they have come into their own.
The horses are silver leaf with acrylic detail and then with some oil pastels on top
- there really are no rules right !?

2010

Is it just me or are we flying towards the New year at a crazy pace. My 2009 diary is looking like a bad report card and I am already fondly looking forward to 'Diary 2010'.

 Fondly because firstly, I love stationary ( I truly feel sorry for anyone who doesn't share this fetish) and secondly because I always enjoy binding my own and having a beautiful piece of art to cart around with me, instead of a boring mass-produced book.
I am currently busy in the studio creating some wonderful diaries for my Etsy shop like the one below;

Some more original prints that I have transferred and crackled with burnt umber.

bird transfers




Here are two examples of the transfer tiles. They have hooks on the back, ready to be hung.
I'm not sure which effect I like the best, but am leaning towards the darker one.
I think I'll try out some more with different imagery.
