Wet, windy, grey. So a positive thought for a postcard swap 'Wise Words'

One of those days earlier this week! A morning where everything went wrong - so in my private day journal I drew a flower to cheer myself up. It always seems to work - one day you might care to give this a go when things go bluh.

The project today is to create a chunky 4x4 card with danglies. Now I am all thumbs with danglies - and it shows! We have nothing like the Day of the Dead celibrated in the UK - so I had to rely on some of our celtic imagery. I know it should be a rainbow of exciting colours - but my picture turned out as pen and wash.

I believe in fairies so was happy to have one of my one eyed avatar's (RIP!) enjoy the dance of death with a sexy nymph.

The Bird(s) and the Bee(s)

Thursday's postcard swap is to be zetti. I always find this a bit of a struggle so stick a hat on something plus loads of black and white. The girls have been teasing me about my yule log and chinese ink stick. So this one is for them.

This week's Manic Monday swap takes 'Alphabet' as a theme. This provided me with an excuse to slap on a vase of flowers. Hoorah for 'wet-into-wet!'

This is for a journal page swap. I love painting with chinese inks and brush. Wonderfully relaxing.

Wild Orchids.

This coming week's postcard challenge is to be 'zodiac'. I found this one quite difficult to tackle and ended up with a collagey thingy.
