Paper Mache Mushrooms
I got together a few weeks ago with friends and we had a go at paper mache. I used a paper plate to get the shape of the big one and built it up with paper. If you fancy a go there are plenty of recipes to be found on the web.

An Abstract Painting
During January I had an urge to do a painting and this is the result.
I used watercolour paper and acrylic paints. I collaged on parts of book pages to start with and after painting I stamped with miscellaneous items. I forgot about it but looking at it now with fresh eyes I'm thinking maybe it would benefit from stitching on it as well.

Red Rose
Silly me, I forgot to mention that I joined the 'Creative every day 2012' the other day. Click on the link to see who else has joined in.
I made this digital creation for the Collage Obsession challenge - Red
I started with a lovely rose image from the Graphics Fairy shown below.
I had planned to design a repeating pattern for fabric with it but the rose wasn't quite right close up [for fabric] so I altered the picture. I moved some of the leafy bits and put on one of my own rose photos which I'd altered.
I removed the background and replaced it with one I had created, I used the backs of some vintage photos - there was a shopping list on one of them! The leaves and buds were the only part that was left of the original image, but the picture gave me inspiration.
This is one repeat of the fabric/wallpaper/gift wrap.
I will be adding it to my Spoonflower collection soon.

Red Art Journal, Mixed Media Book
Red fabric journal - all the pages are made from the same fabric, a narrow cord. On the front there is a fabric flower with paper, sequins, string and a leaf; the letters 'red' with screen printed fabric and threads wrapped around them; red twine with sequins and beads. There are also tassels made from handmade paper beads with red sand on their ends.
Click on the images to enlarge.
I've used art, found papers, printed papers, fabrics both found and printed, recycled items and bits and bobs from my stash and all to do with the colour red. All the edges have been oversewn on the machine and the front and back are padded and stiffened with card.

Shape Challenge - pebble, stick and rectangle
I've used found objects as a starting point for these sketches.
A friend set the challenge above which was a small stick.
The one below was rectangular shape with a corner, cannot remember exactly what.
I did these a while ago, but now I try to remember to draw around the item as a reference, like in the flower picture below.
another one set by a friend, this time a pebble
I created both of these using the pebble.
