It’s time, folks, I don’t think we have the patience here to wait for potential stragglers. 😉 Continue reading “Give-away WINNER”

Dreamy
Dreams don’t work unless you do.
Hello everybody! *waving to the empty theater* I feel it’s time to revive this photo blog because I sometimes have too much content for my craft blog. But phew, such a thing can be a piece of work! The quotes. I mean, I love them, but gag, my life is too short to actively search them out every blipping day. So, new rule, no more quotes unless I happen to sit on a few.
Then there’s the THEME thing. Just about all the new gallery showy offy ones rely on “Featured image” which I don’t have on any of my posts, because come on, there’s been one image to one post so far. Or they are Portfolio driven, something which didn’t even exist last time I checked in here. So does one go ahead and change 200+ old blog posts to make them look all shiny and pretty?
Actually I want to change everything completely, galleries with more images to a post, paintings and what other flat imagery I can think of. Yes, I Instagram too for the time being and would love for you to visit, but really, the wordy portion is horrible to work with as well as keep track of. Which perhaps you’re not really supposed to what with the insta-concept.
So if you do show up, expect a bit of ongoing maintenance, please excuse the mess.
Anybody out there?
Papermaker
Yesterday I decided to do a test round making my own paper. I’d bought a small deckle to begin with thinking it would be post card sized, and it was – on the outside! The actual papers turned out to be only 12 x 7½ cm. I also think I may not like the fine silk screen used, it takes forever to drain the water. So I’m going to have to make my own deckle after all I guess and have some mosquito netting I’ll try for that. Once I get some wood.
Good Omens
I’m not one bit religious and don’t look for signs much in everyday life. But sometimes you get a little jolt and I thought this one had to be shared and multiplied: Continue reading “Good Omens”
Art** give-away!
SUNDAY THE 11TH !!!
Since this is my 500th post, and I’ve rounded both 500 subscribers (followers sounds like I’m some sort of guru), 5000 comments, a 50th birthday, and 60,000 views this summer, and the fact that despite uncomfortable interruptions I am indeed sometimes painting again after more than 20 years not, I thought we would have a fun little competition. Or we could celebrate that my ponies have been shedding their summer coats since the end of July, promising a long and cold winter perfect for indoor crafting. Incidentally, today it’s also my mum’s birthday, so let’s celebrate her too. Continue reading “Art** give-away!”
