I love to create!!!!



Well its been a creative week,Ive been working on quite a few paintings,they take days to finish but they are well worth it and very relaxing to do,I find that Im using the usual bursts of colour and don't I just love colour!

Ive also been staining and aging lots of fabrics for some textile work and doll work.I really enjoy watching a bring fabric take on a new life with some stains and aging,very inspiring and gets my creative juices flowing,love it!

What materials have I been using...fabrics,granulated coffee,watercolous,300gsm papers,lace and what ever came to hand,oh yeh and ink,lots of ink....

Tools for the week....camera of course,scissors,brushes,concrete,craft knives and printer.

What Im reading this week...Studios and living the creative life.

Influences...Alicia Padron..http://lovetoillustrate.blogspot.com/ she is a wonderful illustrator,I adore her work!
