Hello,
This morning Ive created 4 6"x4" cards for a 'so surreal' swap
I Created my own backgrounds using inks, then stamped up some circles for the worlds and added figures( the rugby palyer is a transparency).
I then took a scan of the card and then reproduced it but much smaller and placed on the card to finish it off.
The pieces are called ' ON TOP OF THE WORLD' 1 to 4

HELLO
Today Ive been working on my Journal for a Mixed media meditate and create project. I will be sending my journal to 4 other ladies who live in the USA to add to it.
My Chosen theme to meditate on, is Goddesses. I want the ladies to create a spread of who they would be as a goddess and what power would they have,its all for a bit of fun!!!
materials for this page were, a napkin,inks,stamps,textured paste,mico beads,treasure glitter, glamour dust glitte,r diamontes,fibers and ribbon, and paper image
After meditating on who I would be I decided to be a goddess of time. Having the power to control time and grant anyone an hour in any time or place
Here is my 2 page spread for my journal

Hi Ive been creating backgrounds today. When I need a bit of inspiration I quite often get one of my books off the shelf and stift through for ideas. This collection of backgrounds was inspired by a book I have about interior designer Caroline Quartermaine. She uses a combimation of the old and worn with beautiful contemporary colours and gold.
All the backgrounds apart for the first,which is a collage with inked and stamped paper ,were made with inks and embossing powders. If you click on image to enlarge you will see the details better.
