Getting ready!

I have found the most amazing person here on bloggger.com DJ Pettitt, her work is incredible. I am going to be joining in on an internet art lesson, never done that before! I am just preparing with all the programs that I might need to follow all her classes. Watch this space!

The Past?

I was just thinking today, that the past really is just that! The only thing worth remembering are all the lovely people who made it easier through the tough times, the mistakes so they can be avoided in the future and the happy memories which make up the journey of my life.

Multi Media

I give multi media workshops and for those interested, this was one I made for my grand daughter. They really are quite easy to make, the tiles are first made with polyma clay or anything similar, dusted with shimmer powders, mosaic tyles and anything else that I can find that might work into the final project.

art Journal

For my very precious friend Sharon. When I left Jhb, for Cape Town I had to leave behind a little momento of all the fun things we had done together. I don't have the studio I used to so I can't make these anymore but it was fun anyway.

Finally after all these years I have worked out how to use a blog! yayeeee. I have been looking at some other bloggers work and their work is amazing. I can't work out yet how to add links and other bloggers, but in time I am sure I will work that out to...wish me luck.

Christmas Tree?

Oh dear faithful Christmas tree where are you. Packed away with last years dust into a tiny box that has held you a prisoner for 362 days. I am sorry that I find no enthusiasm to release you and share you with my friends and family, but I do not have the energy. I thought it fun when the children were small and Christmas was festive but not any more. I know that I should change my attitude....for the sake of my grand daughter.
So tomorrow, even if it is a little late, I will hall you out, dust you off and throw some sparkled jewels all over you. You will look good for Christmas day when the family arrive. I don't promise that I will make the effort next year either. But if not, I promise I will hand you lovingly over to a family who will appreciate your splender, and give you, if not me the opportunity to be HAPPY at Christmas.

So this is Christmas and I have had a good year, filled with the good life and sometimes a tear. 2007

I have so many things to look forward to in 2008 that I need to focus or might just get bogged down with things that aren't important. So my word for the New Year is VISION.
