Thursday Journal with Neet.

'Easy when you know how isn't it' I was a bit stumped with this one and in the end went for these two figures doing some exercises and balancing acts. I had already sprayed the pages with Dylusion inks. My son is home from Russia for a fortnight so I managed to get this done on Monday. As we are off to one of my daughters for New Year I thought I had better get organised.
I have caught the most awful cold from the grandchildren and feel terrible. The two men are eating at my youngest daughters so I don't have to think about cooking for them. I might have a boiled egg if I can be bothered, which I doubt I will. I just feel like sleeping to stop the awful cough which has given me a rotten headache. I have used some of the new Dylusion shimmer inks on this page so will enter this in Jo's theme of Something new on Art Journal Journey

The second Christmas post with the words "I'm trying to get into the Christmas spirit, but I can't get the flaming top off the bottle"
I have used the opposite inked side from last weeks and have used loads of numbers instead of stars. She might see stars, once she can get the top off at least one of the bottles. I must say she does look a bit cheesed off.
I am also entering this for Yvonne's theme on Art Journal Journey where the theme is words and numbers.

The words this week as we are fast approaching Christmas are "I'm the reason Santa has a naughty list" which I have altered to we're, because I couldn't resist putting these two little fellows on. The page is sprayed with Dylusion inks, with some stars in metallic silver. The figures are coloured with watercolour pens.
I am also linking this to Yvonne's theme on Art Journal Journey which is words and numbers

To everyone who sees this have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy and healthy New Year

Another piece for the Textile course

This piece is for the silhouette lesson and one I really enjoyed doing.

This week the words certainly had me stumped, they are ' You made no dramatic gestures. Gave no solemn lectures. You simply made the tea. And fetched the biscuit tin'
Not the easiest one to portray, but I thought the two figures said it all. The boss having a relaxing time on the carpet and her friend doing the errands and not happy about it either. In fact she's leaving.
Did this in a bit of a hurry as I am having trouble with my ability to get these large ones on here as my airdrop doesn't work on my photo program.

Tag Tuesday - White Christmas.

Joan's theme on Tag Tuesday is White Christmas which gives us a lot of scope. This is a tag in Tim Holtz style, using various bits kicking around in my Christmas box. I really must sort it out and give all the bits I'll never use to my very arty granddaughter age 6. I used several Tim Holtz dies for this one.

'I do not have ducks, or a row. I have squirrels, and they are at a rave' Not an easy one to do, in the end I went for the two figures.  The one on the left has the squirrels and her friend looks somewhat bemused by her. She probably has three ceramic ducks on the wall at home.
Gosh, one of my friends parents when I was young had some, I remember them well.
On Sunday I finished making 52 Christmas cards, so on Monday we went to Worcester to buy 30 Charity cards, as I couldn't face making any more. We also had a very large unicorn balloon blown up with helium for my granddaughter who was 6 yesterday.
I then suffered four excited girls and three slightly quieter boys for three hours. I slept really well last night for a change.
