Happy Friday everyone, Today I’ve been looking at craft shops that help raise money for charity and been pleasantly surprised at how many there are. This is my selection found on Folksy and Etsy. Just click on the photo to go to their shop where you can make a purchase and find out more about …
I promise not to bamboozle you with science but there are 2 schools of thought on this! Artists appreciate that black can be created by mixing different colours but white cannot. However scientists would say black is not a colour because black objects don’t reflect any colours of light whereas we see white when an …
Oh dear, hadn’t realised it was quite so long since I wrote my last blog post! In my defence I have been away for some of that time and I’ve been experimenting with combining acrylic painting with glass painting. As you probably now know I love trying new ideas but this time I am sticking …
My latest painting is a ginger cat on a glass mug and I added the goldfish bowl for a bit of character! Hope you like him. Trying to get the colour ginger was quite difficult, I used orange, white and a spot of brown in the end. However having looked at other people’s work ginger …

My Robin christmas decoration/sun catchers have literally been flying out of my house, which is great news. I’ve sold them on Folksy, in Quay Presents shop and on craft stalls. Shame I don’t get any real ones in my garden! It made me realise that I currently have a collection of birds for sale. As …
Friday already, where does the time go? Well I am now in possession of a new mobile camera phone. I was brave and ordered a 2nd hand Nokia N8 from ebay! This was my first attempt at bidding and with trial and error and a few failed bids, I eventually won an auction. The purchase …
Todays blog is inspired by my 2nd attempt at acrylic painting. I had a trawl through my own photographs to find something to paint, a very nostalgic couple of hours! It did make me realise I prefered looking through my photo albums than viewing photos on the computer. The digital age does make things easier …
Apologies for my absence of posts, I’ve only just come out of holiday mode! I had a lovely week in Spain, despite the rain for 4 days it was at least warm. Those that follow me on twitter will have seen the incredible fog, for those that didn’t here it is: Although I’ve not blogged …
