Sketch Card

 Well i promised myself i would make more cards this year as i normally stay with the more messy side of creating, so here is a card i made for the sketch challenge at Creative Inspirations
I don't think card making is my forte, but i love to try. Especially haven't done many sketches before so i hope this one is correct

ATC sized framed magnet

 Another day snowed in lol so made this piece. using many different techniques and media. The background is heat dried fluffy stuff plus glimmer sprays and the frame is altered using all kinds of waxes,nail polish,gimmer mist and paint and text book papers. I was fairly pleased with the result. The whole thing is approx the same size as an atc. I also added magnets to the back so it can be used as a fridge magnet too 

FAIRY SWING

first in 2010 & New roads

 Happy New Year to everyone. I wish you love and happiness, peace and prosperity in 2010. Its a new start and hopefully for many, a much nicer and brighter year.
Below are some new makes from me but before then i wanted to share a poem which i think is apt for this time of year. I wrote it a few years ago and hope you will enjoy it


New Roads (c) j.macfarlane


The road of life is tread blindly in youth;

each step taken fearlessly and in haste.

Decisions seemingly disposable at the time

setting concrete footprints in the past.


For some the footprints gleam like gold;

a trail so sure of luck and of love.

For others there are deep tear-filled tracks,

along a road they should never have tred.


With age we learn that regret is useless;

in hindsight we see clearly the golden way.

but it is only a one way path we travel

and no going back will bring us peace.


Pause in the road, look carefully and long.

then remember you have a choice to make,

to dwell on the footprints you already made

or to change at the crossroads ahead



Here are some items I made these last few days

cherub on purple

decoration for next years tree
