This part of my blog is all about the things I collect or the things I make myself. I love so many things, I paint and draw and want to learn oils and pastels. I knit and crochet but want to learn tatting. I embroider and can turn my hand to most things given a chance. So much still to learn and do. I live in hope of some day reading all my books, learning all I want to learn and now I am learning to blog. You will often find my original poems, poor as they are I offer them here. I also appreciate other people art and will feature things I find that I have enjoyed. That includes pictures of fairies and fantasy or maybe just anything beautiful.
I try to use my own photo's as much as possible, sometimes I borrow from the web. If I inadvertently use your picture without giving credit, please do let me know and I will either credit or remove it, I hope you will do the same with mine.
If you wish to leave comments on my blog you can do that by joining google if you do not have a blog yourself, please comment if you can I appreciate that.

All these are quick entries in my art journal............still not happy with any of them. They are still experiments but I am enjoying doing it. They only take a moment to do. I may yet get an idea for a real picture


I appreciate your comments and critique of my work.......hints are helpful as well as ways to improve, feel free to leave suggestions. Thank you all.

  11. I think your work is lovely and unique. one thing I have learned is to love my mistakes BEcause it is the BEing creative that deLIGHTs my heart.

    I think that loving my art is so much easier BEcause it reflects me. I did NOT let it out for so long, yet here and there, online, as I share, I discover it isn't about DOing good art it is about the JOY of making art.

    BEing an artist is a rare thing, which we all possess. the problem we have is our tendency to compare and judge. how DO you hear the songs of birds?! yes, I thought so. all are BEautimous...

    your art is just like the birds.
