Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you are enjoying your weekend at some level. It is Sunday night here in the Southern Hemisphere and I have spent a good part of the afternoon and evening creating in front of the <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=fire%20fight%20australia&epa=SEARCH_BOX">'Fire Fight Australia' Bushfire Relief Concert</a></span> </b>- it is amazing and so touching to see so many amazing muscians come together to fundraise after the bushfires.</div>

Something I have had sitting on my desk for some time is this beautiful figurine that my DH gave me when things were changing for me creatively - it made him think of<b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://www.pinterest.com.au/search/pins/?rs=ac&len=2&q=frida%20kahlo&eq=Frida%20K&etslf=17000&term_meta[]=frida%7Cautocomplete%7C0&term_meta[]=kahlo%7Cautocomplete%7C0"> Frida Kahlo </a></span></b>and the sentiment is perfect. When he gave it to me he said, <b><i>'this is to inspire you as you enter a new season'</i></b> - he said I was transitioning, which I don't mind as long as it doesn't involve hormones LOL! I have to be totally honest and admit that she sat on my desk for 6 months - I didn't want to ruin her...so I waited....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ThOgiZqjGlA/XkO-KMVp0vI/AAAAAAAAmSw/mLtspOYW90ckhqJ70504qBp1uPawU9gCACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Freida%2BDoll%2BClose%2BUp%2B1%2Bby%2BLinda%2BLucas%2Bwm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="360" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ThOgiZqjGlA/XkO-KMVp0vI/AAAAAAAAmSw/mLtspOYW90ckhqJ70504qBp1uPawU9gCACLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Freida%2BDoll%2BClose%2BUp%2B1%2Bby%2BLinda%2BLucas%2Bwm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I started by adding <b>recycled sari silk </b>as a headband,making sure it was wrapped around her bun - and that was all I needed to get started - funny what inspired us isn't it!? To this I added a mixure of flowers and leaves - after all Frida is known for her beautiful floral crowns. I have used a mixture of<span style="font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-size: 13px;"> </span></span><b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://littlebirdiecrafts.com/">Little Birdie Crafts </a></span></b>flowers and some from my stash. A silver chain and heart was added around her neck and secure using glue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I do have to say at this stage the thin eyebrows were a little bit challenging - espcially when Frida is known for her 'monobrow' so I slowly thickened them with a fine pen and brushstrokes - they need to be thicker but I will do that at some stage...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Embellishments from my stash were added around the waist, starting with a thing strip of tulle at the waist, a gold jewellery piece - a grape cluster and a teal bird. Above the lace around the hem I added an old bracelet, small flowers and small shells that were glued onto the bracelet. The shells were from my beautiful Nana - I have had them for some time and loved the touch they add. I have used<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <b><a href="http://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/" style="color: #5b54b4;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L</span></a></b> to adhere all of the embellishments I have added.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I added depth to the flowers using <span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: purple;"><b><a href="http://blog.chameleonpens.com/">Chameleon Alcohol Markers</a></b>,</span> along with a little <b>Crackle Paste</b> to give it a more aged appearance - just a light touch, but loving the effect it added. I finished off by filling in the indents/dots around the metal wings with a white paint pen - all in all I am very happy with the wayshe looks, but you can be sure I will continue to add bits and pieces along the way until I feel she is complete - if there is such a thing LOL!</div>

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by. I hope your week has been a kind one - the good news is the weekend is here and that has too be a good thing - right!! I have been enjoying time on <b>The Studio </b>and once again I am using up older products. It is always such a great feeling to create something from those things lying around.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="text-align: center;">Hello friends - thanks so much for stopping by - I am happy to say I am back in The Studio after a few uninspiring weeks due to being between a <b>State of Emergency, </b>packed ready to evacuate or <b>Watch and Alert </b>with the Bush Fires. I finally managed to create a card using one of the many serviettes/napkins I have stashed away - who can resist these sweet strawberries?!</span></span></span></div>

I think I had better get the other Napkins turned into cards - very soon!

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by. I am happy to say after the crazy weather here in Australia we are enjoying a normal day with a perfect temperature of 26 Degrees Celsius . Today I have a fancy fold card to share with you - it has been created from a left over kit I used for a Workshop - I have used it quite a few times but it looks different with the products you use - today's theme is keeping calm! Wink: Wink!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I created the card base by scoring </span><b style="background-color: white; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Authentique Paper</b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> at 5cm, 5cm, 3cm, 3cm and 2cm to create the different height steps - so easy to do, especially when using a good thick double sided paper.

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="text-align: center;">Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by. I have another Art Journal Page to share with you today - it is my 'go to' creative zone' at the moment. A</span><span style="text-align: center;">s I have mentioned with each page - we are all on a journey, whether it is art, faith, health or something else. This one was inspired by the wonderful sentiment - one that I love - sentiments are often an inspiration for me.</span></span></div>

Hello friends - welcome and thanks so much for stopping by. I am trying to make the most of a quiet moment and play a little catch up with posts and projects. Today I am sharing a Baby Album I created for my niece who is expecting a beautiful baby girl in March - I have t be honest and say I really tried to tone it back a little - girl albums are so easy to go crazy on - I think I reached a good compromise -needless to say my niece loved it and I look forward to seeing photos in it once my great-niece arrives.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;">Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by. As most of you would be aware there are horrendous 'apocaliptic' style fires engulfing huge parts of Australia - so many houses lost and people killed. At one point we were on alert and had bags packed and supplies ready should the call to evacuate come - thankfully it has not, but no-one can relax yet with shocking heatwave and weather conditions next week- with so many active fires still happening no-one can afford to be complacent!!</span></span><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: center;"> My usual way to keep myself centred is to spend time in The Studio - but each time I have sat in there I have felt nothing but emptiness - and then I started to think about the statement by <b>Fred Rogers </b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;"><b>“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” </b></span><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: center;">and you only have to go as far as facebook to see the generosity of people - it is overwhelming and inspired me to create a page for my Art Journal...A</span><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: center;">s I have mentioned with each page - we are all on a journey, whether it is art, faith, health or something else. </span></div>

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by. For those of you who have been wondering where I have been - it has been a challenging time in the lead up to Christmas - more than usual. My brother had a massive cardiac arrest and only survived thanks to a Specialist being on hand in the ER - he had a stent and a pacemaker fitted and just when we started to relax - only a couple of days later he had another - thankfully they feel they have dealt with the problem and he is going well at this time...so....that was a little stressing not to mention distracting. There has also been a very tragic loss in our extended family - heartbreaking! Our adorable Grandson has been staying on a regular basis and I love that but it does mean time in the Studio is very limited - if at all...I am blessed to be able to be so 'present' in his little life -so am not complaining - but seriously -roll on 2020!!</div>

In the meantime I have managed to create something - a gorgeous vintage Snowman - <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sallianne?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&eid=ARClgKpYL7yY9ZKYqMwfF4ksuvwzLmFxMW9YVQb1SzStRGzqp9pFYHT3otsyC1NPjV4xrjvoGJOL5hwq&fref=mentions">Sallianne McClelland</a></span></b> shared these with us at a <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3093766603971880&type=3">'It's Almost Christmas Getaway'</a></span></b> which I was privileged enough to teach at as well.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;">Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by. I have been on a run of Art Journaling lately - it is my wind down time in the evenings, once everyone is in bed. A</span><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;">s I have mentioned with each page - we are all on a journey, whether it is art, faith, health or something else. This one came together easily - I love that part of it - just feels right. I am sure as I go along that will change - but in the meantime I am enjoying the process and looking forward to learning and evolving...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;">Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by. Today I am sharing another page from my </span><b style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;">Art Journal </b><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; text-align: center;">- as I have mentioned with each page - we are all on a journey, whether it is art, faith, health or something else. This one came together easily - I love that part of it - just feels right. I am sure as I go along that will change - but in the meantime I am enjoying the process and looking forward to learning and evolving...</span></span></div>

Today I m sharing a card with you that was created using one piece of Kraft paper with a gold Mandala on it - I wanted to highlight the Mandala and sponged it using <b><a href="http://www.tsukineko.com/"><span style="color: #351c75;">Imagine</span></a> Memento Ink</b> in Teal Zeal, followed by Dandelion and Tangelo inks around the outside of the Mandala. I have inked all of the edges using Teal Zeal Ink as well. The sentiment is from the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/" style="color: #351c75; font-weight: bold;">Spellbinders </a><a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/stamps-coordinated-dies/" style="color: #351c75; font-weight: bold;">Stamp and Co-ordinating Die set.</a><b style="color: #351c75;"> </b>White and Blue Paint pens have been used around the Mandala and <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="http://want2scrap.com/"><span style="color: #351c75;">Want2Scrap</span> </a></span></b>bling added to the centre.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The completed card front<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> has been popped up onto a slightly larger card front using <b><a href="http://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L</span></a> 6" x 4" Adhesive Foam Sheets </b>- it gives dimension but not as much as 3D Foam squares.</span></span></div>

I used a retired <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/">Spellbinders</a></span> 3D Embossing Folder </b>and<span style="color: #351c75;"> <b><a href="https://www.kaisercraft.com.au/">Kaisercraft</a></b></span> patterned paper from the <b>Antiquities Collection</b>. Once embossed the paper has been lightly sanded to highlight the embossed cogs. Next I have drawn around the cogs using a White Gel Pen. The card front has been popped up onto a slightly larger card front using <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="http://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/">Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L</a></span> 6" x 4" Adhesive Foam Sheets </b>- it gives dimension but not as much as <b></b><br />
<br />
The Hot Air Balloons have been cut using a <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://www.kaisercraft.com.au/">Kaisercraft </a></span>Die</b> and popped up using <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="http://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/">Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L</a></span> 6" x 4" Adhesive Foam Sheets </b>that have been trimmed to size. The sentiment is from<b> <span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://littlebirdiecrafts.com/">Little Birdie Crafts</a></span></b>, with the words being cut out and popped up across the Hot Air Balloons; the second part of the sentiment has been computer generated and adhered overlapping onto the cloud. The fabulous Chipboard is also from <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://littlebirdiecrafts.com/">Little Birdie Crafts</a>.</span></b><br />

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Pop Up sentiment is such a lovely surprise when the card is opened, I have used the<b><span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://www.craftgiraffe.com.au/karen-burniston-die-katherine-label-pop-up-card" style="color: #4c4596; text-decoration-line: none;"> <span style="color: #351c75;">Karen Burniston Katherine Label Pop Up</span></a></span></b> for the inside label and Pop Up and Twist Mechanism.
