Big Post (making up for lost time)

Far out, I've done it again, left it far too long between posts. The good news is, I have plenty of pieces to post.

First up, just a few 3.5 x 3.5 b&w tiles. This first one I did to try out Lila Popcheffs pattern 'Violeta'

 

 These bottom three are very much inspired by Helen Williams patterns.

Then there was colour, I just through in a splash of red.

Whoa,  then out came the full pallete of water colours and clearly I didn't hold back. I actually really love how this piece turned out.

up next is the tiles I did for my Facebook groups January Challenge. Two colours & two tangles. 

These two have Lilas patterns, 'Trapt' in them. I really love that pattern. So easy and addictive to do.

But wait, there's more. LOL!

These last few are all the A4 size pieces I've done over the last few weeks.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog. Please leave a comment if you have any questions. Hope to be back soon xx

I'm baaaack and the masking fluid is flowing all over the place!

Finally uni is over for the year and I have some time to let my creativity out.
For these two pieces I poured masking fluid on the page and let it spread out wherever it wanted.
Once it dried I smeared water colour paint wherever it wanted to go too.
After pulling the masking fluid off I could see the images that created themselves and let the pen take control.

Thank you for being patient. I'm hoping to post regularly till uni starts again next year. 

Back to Classics

Today I decided it was time to go back to where it all began for me. Classic 3.5 x 3.5 inch black and white tiles.

I've been Creating!

Yep, I certainly am loving my break from uni, I get flustered and excited deciding what I want to do at any given time, draw, paint, crochet, knit, read, it's all very overwhelming. Lol! So, I do a bit of Everything!

Aaaaaw,  how purty!

Pretty soon, I will be wearing all crocheted or knitted items. Bahahaha!

And so will Sassy...... (What? She likes It! )

Playing with water colour is a new favorite of mine, every attempt turns out differently. Love these two.

Aaaaaand (drum roll) COPICS,  I took the plunge, I am in love with these markers. They are so different to any other, the alcohol base makes them behave and react in a unique way to any other marker I've ever used. Will definitely be buying more and playing around a whole Heap!  

Playing with Water Colour

Since I have discovered Kathys' blog papernlaceprincess I have become addicted to water colours. They create a wonderful background to Tangle on. The possibilities are endless since every time the colours mix differently and create different shapes on the paper.

Gratitude List - Link up no. 36

What an awesome idea this is, I found Laurel Regan and her Alphabet Salad here http://www.alphabetsalad.com/

This blog is certainly eclectic and I love that.

I feel the need to jump in and participate in the gratitude link up.

I have so much to be greatful for, right at this very moment though, i am snuggling in bed with my youngest, we are warm, comfortable and have so much love for each other. These are certainly things that i appreciate immensely.  In this very moment i am at peace.

It is so important to consciously think about the good in your life because it is all too easy to get caught up in the negative...

Time on my Hands!

Guess who's on uni break? (Happy Dance!) I've been dabbling in a few fun activities over the last couple of weeks.

A bit of black and white ZIA

Playing around with water colours on some post cards.

I've even learned how to crochet......

AND, I'm taking the opportunity to read something fictional.

It would seem that I am definitely not wasting my free time... 

Exactly what I think

Black & White tile swap

Here's a progress pic of the tiles I'll be sending all over the world for a tile swap on FB.

It's a String Thing #39

This week over at Tickled to Tangle we were to use tps#36 and 'Mooka', 'Meer', 'Msst' and 'MMak-Rah-Mee" (one of  my favourites).

This week we were to 'highlight' the string rather than let it fade away into the tangles. I like doing my tiles like this usually anyway so was a good fun. I used TPS#103. Check out madebyjoey to see others efforts too.

Friday morning tangles

These are for a tile swap I'm doing.
