Tag Tuesday - Faces
My second tag for Michele's theme of Faces on Tag Tuesday. Another face from my online art courses, this time I did manage to give her turquoise hair. I find it very difficult to give faces bright coloured skin and hair, bit am gradually getting there. I added some ribbon and flowers to the inked background.

Thursday journal with Neet
Look both ways before crossing a woman are the words for this week. I decide that it only needed one page for this one, so used some Dylusion paints and stencilled with the same colours. I stencilled a border in black and coloured the figures with watercolour pens. Once again I mixed up the stamped images to make one figure.
The main body and face is a stamp I rarely use, but thought she looked evil enough for anybody to not want to cross.

Art Journal Journey Having fun
A family one again for my theme on Art Journal Journey of Having fun. This time the children and my son in law all all taking a dip in the sea in Applecross Bay. It is on the West coast of the Highlands of Scotland opposite the Isle off Skye, and just a walk away from where we stay. Too cold for me to even paddle in.
I used some scrim and texture paste at the bottom, for the seafood and distress inks for the sea.

Thursday Journal with Neet
This week the quote is "I'm pretty sure you don't know what you are talking about, but please continue" I sprayed the page with Dylusion inks and used a few stencils, using the same colours as the background. I coloured the figures with watercolour pens. and added a few border stamps around the edges.
I have scheduled this post as I am off to the hospital in the morning for a scan.

Sandie's theme on Tag Tuesday is Anything industrial, and for the background of my second tag I have used a piece of kitchen paper that I had used when I sprayed some washers etc for another project. On top of this I added some stamped images, wooden cogs a washer, a spring and a rusty screw.

Peter and I took her out for lunch ages ago and the waitress asked her what she wanted for lunch: Sausage, chips and beans, Chicken nougats, beans and chips. or Fish fingers and chips. "yes please" she said to all of them. I manage to persuade her to just have one.

Tag Tuesday _ Anything Industrial
On Tag Tuesday Sandie is hosting with the theme of Anything Industrial.
My tag was distress inked, and I embossed some foil at the bottom with an industrial type folder. I rubbed some black paint on to make it look like it had been used. I added a few stamped images and some cogs

Art Journal Journey. - Having fun
A silly fun page this time for my theme of having fun on Art Journal Journey. The background is distress inked and stencils used afterwards. I stamped and coloured the little creatures and then stamped sometime branches for them to sit on. So, meet my tree dwellers who are having a fun get together in their favourite tree.
I certainly had fun making this.
I am also entering this in Try it on Tuesday where the theme is Use a stenciller two

We are now on a new set of sayings and this week it's "As long as everything is the way I want, I'm totally flexible" The background is distress inked and some Dylusion stencils used in the background. I stamped my favourite leaves and coloured the two Dylusion figures with watercolour pens. I think this lady has just the right stance for the saying, as does the bulldog.
I am having a few arty days as the weather is so awful, the garden can wait until it improves. I am still doing my two online art courses, as I have usually given up by now. I'm still behind on one of them, and my sewing machine is sulking with lack of use.

Snow dyeing
We had three inches of snow last Thursday so I rushed around. quickly soda ashed some fabric and put some snow over the fabric with the powder Procyon dyes on top, rushed in out of the rain which was doing it's best to get rid of the snow. I left the trays of snow under the balcony and left the until the next morning when the snow had melted and the dye had worked it's magic.

Art Journal Journey - Having Fun
Another page for Art Journal Journey where I am hosting with the theme of Having fun. This is a very young Eleanor definitely having fun doing some outdoor painting. My mother would never have let me get this messy. She is now five and is a very good little artist, although sometimes you have to guess what it is she has drawn. We are quickly put right and the picture takes on a different meaning.

Art Journal Journey - Having fun
Another page for my theme Having Fun on Art Journal Journey.
This time we are in Wales very close to where I used to live in Abbeycwmhir. We use to go to the Royal Welsh Show in Builth Wells with the three grandchildren. On these pages you see them sitting on various lawn mowers. You can see by their faces they are having fun. The boys wishing that Dad had one like these.

This time the children are on an adventure the Trossachs in the Highland of Scotland. The sensible adults walked on the dry path.

Thursday Journal with Neet
The last of our present themes so we now have to think of some new ones. I sprayed the background with Dylusion inks and then applied inks through stencils. I stamped the leaves and a few faint shapes in the background. I then coloured and added the figures.
Today we are mainly covered in snow and it's still coming down in large flakes. So much for doing my hanging baskets, first of all find the plants under the snow, that I brought home yesterday. I don't think so, an arty day I think.
I am also entering this on Try it on Tuesday where the theme is Use a stencil or two.
