I've used old lace (of course) some white cotton with seeding on it to break up the whiteness a little and, on all four, a section from something I did years ago with Val Campbell-Harding and found in my box! We cut strips of different white fabrics - lace, v

Had number two child at home feeling ill all day so I've spent part of the day playing games, doing jigsaws, etc and also managed to get an hour to paint some more brown paper. I've just finished one piece based on Hinterwasser (?)'s circles and was rather pleased with it - all painted papers and silks. I do love machining on brown paper. So I decided to do more while I was in the mood. Hopefully I'll get them all dry and finished this evening ready to do some machining tomorrow.

Got very involved over the past few days doing Traci Bautista type printing and then making journals. I love making journals - the problem is that I now have so many I shall have to give them away or start doing a lot more sketching! I do keep a journal/sketchbook which I enjoy but I've got a stack now, enough to keep me going for a couple of yea
rs. Actually the photo doesn't do

glare.
I'm being taken out to lunch today by my nearest and dearest - it's our 15th wedding anniversary! Amazing how time flies.

Haven't blogged in a while - Christmas seems to take over an entire month. Having flu and an op didn't help, but hopefully over all that. My New Years resolution must be to do some art every day.
Found http://www.judywise.blogspot.com/ this today - I usually buy my sketchbooks and decorate the covers but inspired by Judy I will add another New Year resolution and start making my own. I've done it before (for my Dad) and it's very satisfying and somehow starts the thought processes.
Hope everyone has a great 2008!
