<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've completed another page for my Mums memory album. Unfortunately I have very few photos of my Dad's family. The ones I did have I copied and made a page with a large central pocket for the images to go in. At the top of each photo I have added a metal word disk to use as a grip so the photos can be pulled out to be looked at. I again used cheap ink sprays in a blue yellow brown theme plus glass bead gel applied in patches for added texture and to make your eyes roam over the page.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the bottom I added a torn piece of corrugated card board, the centre and background are scrap book pages plus a large white paper Dollie . The pocket has randomly glued bits of paper, text, washi tape, lace etc and an ink coloured chip board sign. A smaller Dollie was sprayed with inks to give it a rust effect and sits under the sign</div>

My plan was to start packing art items I'm not using much of. One of the first draws I went to was full of old family photos. My Mum (who is 87) and some other relatives had given me copies and originals of old family photos many years ago. My intention back then had been to make a album for my Mum for her 70th birthday!!! OMG where had the time gone? I had started a few times but I am NOT a scrap booker and there were so many images I always gave up feeling that it was too daunting to continue.<br />
<br />
This time something changed and I decided to decorate a few pages in my mixed media style and leave others as just the clear plastic pockets full of the daunting photos LOL Before I knew it my art desk and the kitchen table were buried in happy arty healing goodness....and still are LOL. I often create with no end result in mind. I find that way it can evolve and be changed as I desire much easier then when I have a set process and end result image in my head.<br />
<br />
This is my first page. It has a wonderful photo of my Dad-Born 1926 and died 1977 (in the jumper) as a boy playing with his twin brother Ronny who was born in 1926 and died in 1949. The photo already had a lovely soft sepia tone to it so I went with a blue brown rusty looking mixed media background.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The background was made by randomly sticking down torn old book pages, bits of old lace and strips of scrap book papers onto a 30x30cm scrap book page. I then dry brushed on white gesso and used a palette knife to add glass bead gel here and there . Once it was dry I sprayed cheap shop colour sprays over the page, spritzed it with water while still wet and tipped it side ways and upside down. While I waited for this to dry I selected and sprayed chip board bits with the same colours and started to play round with placement by adding and taking away other embellishments.<br />

The photo is in a plastic sleeve and the arrow can move so the photo can be removed by Mum if she wants. The paper flowers and the 3D decoupage car are all from the cheap shop. Once I was happy I stuck it all down with gel medium I then roughly tore the edges and stippled on white paint along the edge. Lastly I adhered the page to black card stock! I really like the textures and colours of this page!!<br />

My gorgeous grand kids Ivy and Chase are totally in love with the dragons from How To Train Your Dragon. They both love Night Fury (Toothless) and his girlfriend Light Fury. As a result I have managed to watch most of the series and some of the movies with them. I figured they loved them so much other people would too so I made 4 glow in the dark HTTYD painted rocks, a hatching glow in the dark dinosaur rock and 2 eye rocks!. I have mixed some of the acrylic paints with glow in the dark paint so they cam "bio luminescence" briefly at night when the light is turned off.<br />
<br />
These were all placed in public parks for people to find. Painted Rocks NT (the group I am a member of) has its own Facebook page and I posted on there which parks the painted rocks had been dropped in. It's always a bit of a struggle for me to release my art not knowing if they will ever be found or appreciated but still I enjoy the thought they will be found and hopefully treasured. The ones directly below were the first park drop. All were def found but the hatching dinosaur and Toothless finds were never posted to the rock group.<br />

Ive been VERY busy with work and helping my daughter out with my gorgeous two grand kids. Still art is never far from my heart....its part of my soul. I'm finding I have developed a fascination with eyes. I draw them at work on the register rolls and at home, I collect images of others eye art in Pinterest and Google<br />
<br />
Lately I've painted some eyes on rocks after seeing some another artist painted where he paints a reflection of what the eye is seeing as part of the pupil. The artist goes by the name of "My Dog Sighs"...his website is<a href="http://mydogsighs.co.uk/" target="_blank"> here </a>and I am unashamedly influenced and in love with his art.<br />
<br />
My attempts are messy looking up close but OK as rocks to hide in the parks for others to find. The original artist mainly uses spray paint for his. So here are the four I have done so far! The first one I ever did I didn't think to add colour at the bottom to indicate the iris<br />

This one is homage to my location as its the sign they use to advertise the Northern Territory. It reads "Do The NT" and has a Jabiru stork silhouetted against the sunset<br />

<br />
THEN I got side tracked as many of my artist quality paint tubes have been affected by the extreme heat here. The binder has separated in them and when I go to squeeze out the paint its just clearish yellow slime that comes out followed by hard globs of paint. I tried massaging the tubes to remix it but it wouldn't work. Eventually I sourced air tight preserve jars and slowly squeezed out every tube, stirred and stirred till it remixed. Some I had to mix with some gel medium as well.<br />
<br />
As I went I made little sticker swatches to indicate what paint colour was what. It took me nearly 3 weeks to get it all done!! Every now and then I had a slight excess of paint that wouldn't fit in the jars plus I liked the background left by the painted stickers so I painted an eye on there too. Might try to replicate this one on a canvas one day BUT I'll have to correct the big mistake I realized after I was finished!!! Wonder if anyone can spot it?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I grew up near the Pacific Ocean on the Central Coast area of New South Wales. We were a poor family and had very few actual holidays but even so my childhood Was filled with love, laughter, art and sunny days at the local beach. All Spring, Summer and even into Autumn the beach was my play ground. I lived and breathed the ocean life...when I swam and surfed I often imagined dolphins and mermaids swimming with me darting in and out of the waves. Every night I dreamed about the Mermaids on the rocks and dancing Dolphins leaping for fun. Even as an adult I can find great happiness being near an ocean and just hearing the wind and the waves (I would get eaten here in the Northern Territory by a crocodile if I went swimming so just walking on the sand, listening and seeing here is enough LOL).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've taken to hunting the local beaches for smooth large sea rocks to soak the salt out of and then seal and paint on. My childhood resurfaces when I touch and smell these rocks and Mermaids and Dolphins appear. My background in mixed media has me lean toward adding tactile and visual things like texture paste rocks, pearlescent skies and even moons that glow in the dark. I use many layers of acrylic paint and glazes till I have the look I want. I am not fast and productive like many of the rock artists out there but then my rocks end up unique in different ways to theirs. So please enjoy the Mermaids below whom have all been abandoned in local parks and are now found and loved by new owners :)</div>

Wow April just disappeared like that. Had a few family dramas going on and things are only settling again now. I did get to do something awesome during Early May though and that was to do a rock swap and drop from interstate!!<br />
<br />
Zowie Breese used to live up here in the Northern Territory and relocated to Western Australia. She is part of the painted rocks movement as well. I got to meet Zowie and her Mum (who was visiting at the time) when Zowie lived here. Zowies Mum Vicki Ann David came for a visit to the Northern Territory again earlier this month to meet her newest grand child and bought over with her some gorgeous rocks for me to hide around Darwin. These decorated rocks included green tree frog, an emu, a giraffe and a unicorn (for my granddaughter) by Zowie...<br />

When I met Vicki to get the WA rocks I gave her some from the NT to take back to WA to hide there. Some were from me, Jilly Lee, Steve Li and Rese Undo. </div>

I hid the WA rocks over a two week period all over Darwin. It was great fun and the local rockers posted if they found any to the NT Rocks and SOR rocks WA Facebook pages. All the WA rocks were found (I checked on them) but a few never got posted to the rock groups as found. Even so who ever has them loves them I am sure. Zowie is now merrily hiding the NT rocks around in WA. Its funny how the simple act of decorating rocks can bring you new friends, creativity and joy.....and I love it :)</div>

We had a small but fierce cyclone make a direct hit to Darwin over a week ago. It caused a zillion trees to fall over taking out power and phone lines all over the place. Thankfully we didn't loose power like many others (some for 8 days!!) but we had no internet for three days. I'm not a great TV watcher like my hubby so I spent a day trying to paint a rock....I wanted it to look like the person was staring out from the rock or "emerging" from the the rock. In my internet searches I had seen quite a few hand painted rocks with this type of work on it and it intrigued me so I decided to give it a try!</div>

After around 15 layers of acrylic paint, glaze, touch ups etc etc I looked down and actually impressed myself with the result LOL. I tend to zone out from the overall project and work a small area at a time so I don't always realize what is emerging till I step back at the end and look. Thing is I'm not really sure how I was able to pull this off haha and I doubt very much I could ever repeat it BUT for the first time since I started painting rocks I wanted to keep this one for myself. I may release her after a while but for now I'll prop her up on my work desk I think :)<br />
<br />
Better try and get some simpler rocks done to hide in the local parks once the hard working council has cleaned them up. I love seeing the children's happy faces when they find the decorated rocks....after all art is wondrous in any form I think.<br />

THIS has been a long time coming. There is a sweet artistic young lady where I work. I know she can sometimes feel she is less then enough when we all see her as clever, sweet, kind and an amazing artist both musically and with her drawings etc. My own son also suffers from bad self esteem and periods of immense anxiety and depression that cripple him and it tears at my heart. It truly makes me feel broken that some can feel so crushed in this World and insignificant that they feel they are not enough to stay alive. This sweet young lady at work reminds me so much of my son and when I saw she was struggling a few weeks back, I decided I would make her something to encourage her beautiful art and soul.....that time came a few days ago! <br />
<br />
What I didn't realize was that in my desire to reach out to her it broke a fierce creative drought in me that had descended on me after I went to New Zealand over 4 years ago on my first arty teaching foray. Things happened there that very few people know about and due to those things I really felt my first try at teaching failed....and not because of me but due to bad organization and several other things. It caused me great angst and unhappiness that in the end I chose to retreat my arty side deep within my thoughts....I guess I didn't want anyone to say I failed or I was no good at what I did. A HUGE positive is I met and still adore some very wonderful people whom helped me greatly from that trip.<br />
<br />
So back to this project....I knew I wanted to make an arty "on the go" art book for this sweet lady so I sat down and just started with no idea where or how it would turn out. I had some reasonably good quality A4 water colour paper in 200gms so decided it would be a water colour book. I scored and halved 10 A4 sheets. I punched five holes along the inner V fold by placing a centre hole first and then two holes either side of that at regular intervals.....repeat to all pages and then stack one on top of the other. Using a decorative twine I sewed all the pages together. Then attached thick plastic sheets in between each page and on the front and back using Washi tape...it was too hard to sew thru. These can be used as palettes to mix colours, wipe clean and reuse plus they protect each page from the other side.<br />
<br />
Once I had my little book I used 3cm square swatches of Peerless water colour sheets on a grid inside the first page. These are gorgeous bright water colours that are impregnated into little sheets. You just touch a wet brush to them, pick up colour and paint away!! I did a little sample colour grid at the right. On the left of the grid I applied some white paint and the other side was blank. I painted each water colour sample over these so she could see the difference.<br />
<br />
On the front cover I just started playing and as I did I had a moment of self doubt followed by a calm talking to myself along the line of "just go with it Annette...trust yourself and let it go". After awhile I looked at what had emerged....and there it was.....my old arty farty self had exploded in glorious colour, a fav quote, gesso, ink, water colour, stencils and I smiled! My hands and arms were multi coloured and I was happy!!! I too am always enough...I just forgot how to be....so on the forehead of the lady who emerged I left "you are always enough"....I know my sweet work friend will find that and know why I put it there. I gifted her two Aquash brushes (water fillable brushes) and a Pitt fine black permanent pen as well. A mobile art book in her hands. I gave it to her yesterday and she loved it.<br />

I'm thoroughly enjoying reawakening my arty self after sparsely creating for just on four years. It kind of amuses me that's all because I started painting rocks to hide and find with my gorgeous granddaughter Ivy. After my first attempts I made an Owl glow in the dark family with accessories!<br />

Meet the Hoot's...<br />

I made two sets of these and released one set in Darwin and the other in Adelaide. Of the 14 I hid I only know of five that had been found. It's the risk you take when abandoning art but I also like the thought that people enjoyed them even if I have no idea where they ended up. This rock painting thing rocks my World LOL<br />

We have now settled back into life in the Northern Territory. We have rented a unit not far from my daughters place. My art area took shape very slowly as I have left the majority of my creative stash back in Julatten. For the first time EVER though I have a spacious room here and have two desks....the computer and printer are on one and my arty farty treasures and place to get creative is the other desk.<br />
<br />
<br />
This photo panorama shot was taken when I first set the room up. There is also a large built in cupboard in this room that stores my paints, canvases, Cuttlebug and Sca N Cut. Looks so lovely and neat hey?<br />

Not long after I had it all so pristine looking I decided I needed to do some craft to get my creativity flowing again. My daughter Carlia told me to join NT Rocks Facebook group....you paint or decorate rocks and then do a "rock drop" and hide them for others to find. I believe its being done in other states and countries too. It's getting kids and mums and dads out in parks looking for the hand painted rocks which is awesome. So I decided to paint A rock...yes ONE rock and see how I went. Within a week of starting said rock painting my desk looked like this LOL<br />

I'm loving be creative again even if it is just on rocks at the moment. All nine rocks have been dropped....8 in Darwin and one in Adelaide. I hope whoever finds them loves them :)<br />

WE are also loving being near our gorgeous grand kids....this is grandson Chase who is 5 months old now<br />

Hello World<br />
<br />
In my silence from my blog I have been on a few journey's and discoveries....<br />
<br />
* We have decided we are tired of struggling financially here in Far North Queensland. The ability to get full time work permanently here is just so hard. I guess being a seasonal tourist area we should have researched that aspect! Oh well we live and learn. As such we are going to rent out our house here and will be moving back to the Northern Territory in late April/ early May. Initially we shall stay with my daughter Carlia whom is pregnant with our second grand child!! Our first grand child Ivy is three now and we want to be apart of their lives very much.<br />
<br />
* I have REALLY REALLY missed being creative....kind of sad I'm going to have to pack it all up and probably not be able to do any for a few months....but it will not remain absent from my life<br />
<br />
* Some family and "friends" are so freaking toxic and not good people...just get rid of them suckers from your life/Facebook etc...believe me you will be happier and relieved. In fact take a break from social media regularly...its quieter and much more peaceful!<br />
<br />
* Finally if you are struggling with a goal YOU can achieve it even if you have to try try again. I have struggled with slowly increasing weight over the years...too many fast carbs and bad life style choices....so I chose to turn that around. As such I wish to leave this declaration here :)<br />
<br />
"I'm almost back to my wedding weight of 28 years ago...<br />
just wanted to thank the lost kilos for sticking around and advise them<br />
their services are no longer required. I wish them well on their travels, <br />
terminate their rental of my body and will no longer be supplying them <br />
with accommodation, food, warmth and a clothing allowance."<br />
<br />
Kind regards <br />
<br />
body corporate owner Annette Husband :) <br />

CREATIVE SELF: Hello are you still there?.....HELLO!!!!<br />
<br />
ME: Hello....yes I am here....are you Ok now?<br />
<br />
CREATIVE SELF: Yep I think I am much better now....I just needed to take some time out....I needed to heal a broken art soul, to sort thru the art junk and re-find my colourful creative, intuitive path again, to toss some very negative people in my life aside, whom had me feel less then my inner art heart knew I truly am...to find my creative raw self again ....yes I am here.....can we try to hold each others hands and walk together again?<br />
<br />
ME: I would so love that....I was always here....always thinking of you but felt I was in a sticky muddy dark hole and couldn't connect to you any more....a busy life made me drift even further away....the layers of life pilled on and even though I KNEW you were still in here I wasn't sure how to find you again.<br />
<br />
Then you started to creep into my thoughts....my eyes and brain started to fire arty thoughts full of creative wonders and maybes.....the layers started to peel off and so I waited for you...to heal, to look for me and to call my name again. I'm holding your ink stained hand now...<br />
<br />
CREATIVE SELF: It's been so long and I think we shall have to do this in baby art steps till we are fully as one again but I am excited.<br />
<br />
CREATIVE ME: My art will be simple....it will be sparse to start with but I shall dream big dreams, I will get ink, paint, glue etc on my hands, I will not let people harm my art heart again....creative self and me are one again and I will create!!<br />

My lovely family bought me a Brother Scan N Cut machine for Christmas. I have always wanted a personal cutter but just couldn't afford most of the ones available by the time I bought the accessories and paid for shipping etc. Around Christmas though the local Spotlight here had a Scan N Cut bundle on sale plus I had a $100 voucher for a previous purchase to go toward it. I've taken this long to get my head around how to use it!! I read the instruction book and found some very useful tutorials <a href="http://www.alandacraft.com/brother-scanncut/" target="_blank">here</a> which got me thinking of all sorts of projects to do.<br />
<br />
For those of you that don't know these machines can have images scanned into them and then it can cut the images out. There are also pre installed patterns, graphics, borders and alphabets in the machine to use as well. Any image can be scanned in from your own hand drawn items, photos, stamped images and even scanned in templates etc There is a free on line site to use called<a href="https://scanncutcanvas.brother.com/en" target="_blank"> Canvas</a> which gives you a place to create projects using JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP or SVG's (scalable vector graphics) images that are then turned into FCM format that the cutter can read and use. The Canvas program has some awesome tools to relocate objects, weld them together, duplicate, resize etc etc so there are endless options to what you can create.<br />
<br />
So today I had a play....being a Steam Punk nutter I found some cog images and then created a frame in Canvas added then cogs around the frame in various sizes. Lastly I used the weld tool to make it a single melded item. Then I simply downloaded the finished frame to my computer, sent it to my thumb drive, plugged the drive in the side of my Scan N Cut, located the frame on the drive and used the Scan N Cut to cut the frame out...here is the cut cog frame...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsyVRB8vj-KInvcuZKssB4cOSvEa0LD5FJXRuEKrpUsYhBm8vvNdq-4f4Zydc0_UmtksUrImsp_emkasVsyvkDPZ9Td2a-xui_pMoOIUTolXVqAa42wfbusvJId7kR39VEOGjo6-9t8_E/s1600/snc+large+cog+frame.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsyVRB8vj-KInvcuZKssB4cOSvEa0LD5FJXRuEKrpUsYhBm8vvNdq-4f4Zydc0_UmtksUrImsp_emkasVsyvkDPZ9Td2a-xui_pMoOIUTolXVqAa42wfbusvJId7kR39VEOGjo6-9t8_E/s320/snc+large+cog+frame.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I can also cut out the cogs individually in various sizes and build a 3D look of cogs over the cut out frame ones. I've even made some templates to cut out of Mylar which is cool too. Still learning how to use the software and its applications but for a first project fully made by me I was impressed!! You can even attach drawing materials and draw images from the built in graphics or scanned in images too plus there is a stamp pack accessory kit to cut your own stamps...hhhmmm I think I' ll be playing with this little machine a bit more :)<br />

In November I attended a course at Douglas Arts Base (DAB) Mossman to learn how to fuse glass. It was a beginners class and we were all told to treat our first attempts as experiments...in other words expect cracks and parts not fusing etc. So we all stacked glass and made glass pictures etc and at the end of the day the glass went into the kiln to fuse. In a weeks time we were going to meet again to see how the fused pieces went, to learn glass slumping and play some more with fusing but circumstances beyond my control meant I could not attend.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally today I picked up my pieces....to my utter surprise they all fused....some better then others but I love them all!! Here they are...</div>

The next three are for necklaces...the photo doesn't show but the one on the left and the right are very shimmery. There was a middle dot on the right one but it must have fallen off.<br />

The last three below are glass Christmas tree decorations. All three were made with the same glass yet the middle one is lumpy...weird...I think glass has a mind of its own LOL. I'll wire wrap the tops to hide the hanging part I think.<br />

It's been such a long time since I had the time to participate in WOYWW but today I am here!!!

Hi all<br />
I'm not home this week and don't have access to my craft goodies so this Tipnique Tueasday I'll share how you can make your own paper clay.<br />
<br />
<u><b>What You Need</b></u><br />
<ul>
<li>Construction paper pieces-white or coloured but separate your colours</li>
<li>Water</li>
<li>Flour</li>
<li>Electric blending machine</li>
<li>Mesh drainer</li>
<li>Small bowl</li>
<li>Gladbake or other non stick baking sheet</li>
<li>Air tight container</li>
</ul>
<b><u>How Too</u></b><br />
1) Mix 2 cups of construction paper scraps (For best results only use one colour at a time as some colours bleed out) with 4 cups of water in a blender for 20 seconds.<br />
2) Drain the pulp and squeeze out as much of the excess water as possible.<br />
3) Mix 1/2 a cup of flour and 1/2 a cup of water in a small bowl and blend well.<br />
4) Add flour and water mixture to your paper pulp and knead till a soft dough forms<br />
5) Store it in an air tight container till ready for use.<br />
<br />
Use the dough as you would shop bought paper clay. Allow it to air dry for 1-2 days or speed up drying by placing in a low temp oven.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stopped doing a Tuesday how too when I needed shoulder surgery and then had on going post op complications. Well today is Tuesday and I have been spending my days off making little Christmas house decorations for my family. My Mum made them for me many many years ago and now I wanted to make them for my children, their partners and my grand daughter. So I took some photos as I made a batch today to share the how too with you all.</div>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Cardboard. Don't use mat board as its to hard to cut allot at once. I used the cardboard behind a writing pad.</li>
<li>Pencil</li>
<li>Scissors and/or cutting knife</li>
<li>Ruler</li>
<li>Hole punch</li>
<li>Awl</li>
<li>Match box. Either use a real match box or some blank ones from the dollar store that are a match box with no matches in them. Mine is 5cm long, 3.5cm wide and 1.5cm deep. YOU WILL need to adjust your measurements if yours are different to this!!! </li>
<li>White gesso-optional</li>
</ul>
Measure and mark out a rectangle that is 8.5cms by 6.5cms and a smaller one that is 7cms by 5cms. Adjust this smaller size as needed if your match boxes are a different size to mine. This smaller rectangle will be the two end parts. The larger rectangle will be the roof.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Cut out both using the ruler and craft knife. Place both rectangles in the landscape position. On the larger rectangle mark the half way point at 4.25cms along the top and bottom of the 8.5cm edge. Rule a line across. Use the rear of the craft knife and the ruler to score along this line.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Turn the rectangle to portrait position. On the centre line mark a dot half way along at 3.25cms. Punch a hole at this dot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the smaller rectangle, measure and mark a dot at 3.5cms which is the half way point at top and bottom and rule a line. Measure and mark at dot at left, centre and at right 1.8cm up from bottom. At the top mark a dot at 1.75cms from the left side and from the centre line<br />

Ensure the material or paper is right side down. Place gel medium on all sides of the match box. I just used my finger to do this but you could use a glove of course if you like.

Apply a generous amount of gel medium to the over hanging felt. Press it over and onto the rear of the roof. Its easier to do a corner at a time then then do the sides. As you stick it down at the corner apply a small peg to hold it in place, repeat to other corners then all sides as per photo below.<br />

Fold your ribbon or stretchy string in half and decide what length you want it to hang from the roof. Tie a double knot and trim away excess.<br />

Punch hole thru the hole in the roof so felt will now have a hole too. Push ribbon or string thru hole from the back. Gently use awl to push it thru if you need.<br />

After ten minutes I usually quickly remove all the pegs and place some baking parchment over the rear and then reattach the pegs again as it stops the pegs being glued to the roof on drying. I wait the ten minutes as its enough for the felt to stay stuck down when you remove and reattach the pegs. Leave this to dry for a few hours.<br />

When completely dry remove the pegs and the baking paper. Bend your roof along the scored line from earlier<br />

Lie roof on side and eye ball where to place the base so roof will be evenly overhanging. Gently push base into place and then turn the whole thing upright pressing the other side of the roof in place. Adjust as needed while glue still wet. Hold the roof om with one hand and use the other hand to put elastic band around each end to hold it all tight while it dries.<br />

You can of course use your own ideas to decorate your house such as dangling beads from the roof, windows with family images behind them or sewn on elements. The above is simply the list of things I used :)</div>

It's been awhile<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hi every one...sorry I fell off the face of the internet World for awhile....I had no idea it had been so long since I blogged. It was unintentional. Life got busy plus I had little time to be creative to have anything to share with anyone.<br />
<br />
It started with me getting a job at last out of nursing. I'm now Mrs Deli Delights lady in Coles Port Douglas. The money isn't as good of course and I have allot more hours at work but strangely enough I am REALLY enjoying it! Port Douglas is a tourist town with access to The Great Barrier Reef etc...it's high tourist time now and insanely busy in the Deli but still compared to nursing the stress levels are low working there...heck the only thing I have to worry about resuscitating is a dry chicken breast. My work mates are awesome as are most customers...just the odd few I'd like to lob a ham hock at their heads. Every job has those types of customers though....but please folks don't be one of them!<br />
<br />
The other thing that has caused my absence in blog land is spammers sending up to 50 comments a day at times...so I decided to change all my security settings (sorry if you dislike having to do a capture thing to send me a comment)...and at the same time refrain from blogging for a month or so to see if it all settled down....then forgot I had a blog at all LOL...well till<a href="http://hickydorums.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"> Neet</a> came asking if I was Ok. Thanks Neet you have reminded me now to blog again :)<br />
<br />
Unfortunately hubby Grant and son Tim still haven't secured full time local work so I work any shift I can get which hasn't left much time to get arty farty in my time off. I could never be totally non creative so yes I have done a little here and there but for the most part I haven't taken photos or shared what I have made. My Deli line manager did let me have every Thursday off for a period of time so I could do another course at Douglas Arts Base...this was an introduction to Acrylic paint. It was so interesting and I am finally finding more confidence is my painting attempts....they are a far more forgiving medium then I thought! Some attempts are poop and others I think I am doing Ok with...like everything though it is practice practice practice that is the trick.<br />
<br />
As I said I haven't been taking lots of photos but here are a few things I did take photos off that I have done...<br />
<br />
A face sketch done while reading Jane Davenports instruction book on "Drawing and Painting Beautiful Faces<br />

Then in acrylics class we had to quickly do a collage by tearing up papers, tissue paper and magazine images, stick them down and then use acrylic paint to turn it into something else...this was my end result on an A3 300gm piece of cartridge paper!</div>

<br />
A week later we then had to PAINT the collage on a large canvas using just acrylic paint...of course it couldn't look exactly like the original and mine certainly doesn't but it was an interesting challenge. The painting is on a 70x50cm canvas. The original paper and acrylic A3 collage is at the right.<br />

Another exercise was to try and paint like a well known artist!!! We were all given a different artist to try and copy as a way of making us work out how we may apply paint for different effect. Holly crap that scared me but I liked my end result. My painting was a rendition of "Shoalhaven" by Arthur Boyd. This is my attempt...you can Google the original<br />

Class has finished now and I still have two painting to complete. One is a landscape but the one I am currently slowly working on is a still life...it was composed and set up by the teacher so really not what I would have chosen to paint but its very challenging just the same. The scene the teacher set up is on the photo at right...it has drapes and see thru bloomin glass.</div>

I've just started to get some more jewellery made too. I became very unhappy re making and selling my jewellery and stopped making any! I had taken it all to a hand made store locally to see if it would sell and had allot of stuff go missing or not be paid for....it really put me off doing anymore till just recently. I've really missed making things though and have started to yearn to be creative again. Lets hope I remember to blog any arty adventures again from now on too!<br />
<br />
Other then Neet another thing has spurred me back to reality and my creative blog world and that was hearing of the sad passing of another creative friend <a href="http://queenartoypia.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Eliza Harms</a>. Eliza was well known in my art circle and was only in her early 50's. I do not know how she died just that it shocked me and many others. I had known Eliza for many years on line and she had helped me get numerous arty things that I couldn't get in my part of Oz...we had been friends enough to phone each other on and off and talk for hours when we did.<br />
<br />
Eliza was only ever kind, welcoming and helpful to me and many others...a strong larger then life lady with a passion for making art. She even let me stay with her for four days a few years back after picking me up at the airport at midnight and both of us realizing I had booked the dodgiest hotel in town. I got to share her crazy busy life and spend hours in her truly amazing art space...me a stranger that needed help and was far from home taken in to be cared for and made welcome in her home!! That was Eliza and I will miss her. My deepest condolences go to her family Ross, Myrene and Michael and her many many friends. Life is too short...seize the time you have to do what makes you happy!!<br />
<br />
Big hugs<br />

OMG the weeks have flown past...had a few stressful weeks as well trying to do a course, look for a job plus a some family issues to sort out and another wonderful visit from my gorgeous 82 yr old Mum so I missed WOYWW yet again for a few weeks. TODAY I am in my art room having a play at last...its so relaxing and I miss doing art when life gets too busy and gets in the way. So...happy WOYWW everyone...WOYWW stands for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday and every Wednesday arty folk all over the World share what is on their desks. If you would like to join in or know about go to Julia Dunnit's blog <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
This is my desk today...it's strewn with some VERY happy mail that came for me from two lovely arty friends. I'm slowly finding it all new homes :o)<br />

On the left I received an amazing care package of art goods from Rockin Robin in the USA. There is an A4 Geli plate!!!!!!! (I nearly died when I saw that LOL), a little Maya Road canvas book, lots of wonderful metal bezels and metal steam punk jewellery components and a Inkadinkado Delux Stamp Gear set with 16 stamps!! It was all totally unexpected and nearly made me cry...I really have to go to the USA and meet Robin one day...thank you again Robin!<br />

Lastly on the right are some Christmas cards I have started to make. I've always put them off and ended up in a mad rush to make them in the final week before Christmas so I thought I would surprise myself and get them done early this year!! Once I have the new stash put away I shall spread out and get the production line going....well that's the plan anyway LOL<br />

BIG NEWS FOR ME....I finally got a job!...I had been trying for 7 months or so. It was hard as I decided to not be a nurse anymore after 30 years of being one. I start tomorrow at Coles in the deli. It's a large super market chain here in OZ...I'm nervous and excited. I'm part time so I should still have enough time off to do art and I am so happy about that. Perhaps I can make arty things with the sliced meat at the Deli LOL....Anyway I am off to spy on some desks for WOYWW. Thanks for dropping by<br />

At the left is a recently done abstract painting of the ocean, rocks and sky. This was made as part of my weekly art classes at a local gallery. The process to getting the end result is in a post below this one. In front of the painting I am making "grided viewers" to more actually sketch what I want to try and paint.<br />

Just "missed" still being on my desk was a 12 page mixed media book I made using fabric as its base. It's now on display at the council chambers building with other students work. You can see it on a previous post though if you want<a href="http://www.goannafive.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/fabric-art-book-experimenting-with.html" target="_blank"> here</a>. Time to scoot off and spy on what's on other peoples desks!<br />

I'm slowly learning about the principals of design, colour theory and how Acrylic paints work. In the last two weeks in class we did the process to creating an abstract painting. We used a previously created abstract of our own. I decided to use this page from my art lessons book. It was made using a palette knife to quickly put paint on the page and then I folded the page in half to create this glorious mess.<br />

Then I had to paint that section onto a 30cm square canvas...it didn't have to be an exact copy more of a hint of it. Once that was done we tried to make some sense of what we had painted and turn it into an abstract vision of something using thin washes of colour. I thought mine looked like rocks and waves so I dry brushed white on the black areas to knock the colour back. The rock in the middle I decided was in the distance on the horizon line so it had a white wash put on it to make it look further away. Lastly washes of Pthalo blue, Cadmium yellow and Magenta were randomly added to knock back the white areas.<br />

I can't say I get abstract but I really enjoyed the process and I actually don't mind the end result which is pretty amazing for me LOL.<br />

I have just completed a 10 week experimental textiles course held at Douglas Art Base in Mossman.. It reignited my love of mixed media and I used up loads of my stash. In today's post I'll show you a 12 page mixed media fabric base book full of all sorts of transfers and a mixed media fabric wall hanging.<br />
<br />
The book is called "Art House" and the pages are fabric that I have attached to Vliesofix (double sided heat bondable stuff) and then to Vilene (stiffening). That gave me a firm fabric base to alter. Each page was then encased in Opals Embossing Enamels (Large grained thick embossing powders) by sprinkling on the Opals over the fabric page, cover it with Gladbake and then iron it to melt it into the fabric. This gave me gorgeous glass like pages that I could hand sew thru, cut, sew with a sewing machine etc etc. I cut all my pages into a house shape and began decorating them. This is the front-<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The face is friendly plastic that I melted into a Krafty Lady mold. The shiny fibers are Angelina fibers. It reads "Hope and memory have only one child and her name is art". I hand coloured the trim.</div>

<br />
The second page used Angelina film and fibers plus some foiled lattice glue stuff. Quote reads "It's not what you look at that matters it's what you see" by Henry David Taoreau. You can openb the door to the little glass house in the centre.<br />
<br />

<br />
The red oriental page has an Inkjet Water transfer to Calico. The quote reads "The very word "Geisha" means artist and to be a Geisha is to be judged as a moving work of art". The tiny paper Kimono was made by me. The green side is an Inkjet printed water slide decal transferred to material. It's quote reads "The pebble in the brook secretly thinks itself a precious stone".<br />

<br />
Blue and lemon page features a Translucent Liquid Sculpey transfer of vintage children onto organza. The quote reads "Family is not an important thing. It's everything" by Michael J Fox. Yellow page next to that has a vintage image of children inkjet printed directly onto Calico that had been treated with Inkjet Set. Quote reads "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter".<br />
<br />

<br />
Next is a purplish page with a gorgeous vintage image that had been printed onto glossy photo paper with my inkjet printer and transferred to water colour paper using Isocol rubbing alcohol. The quote reads "The expression a woman wears on her face is far more important than the clothes she wears on her back". Green page next to that has a Toner printed image transferred to a skeleton leaf using Opals embossing enamel clear (Franklin) and an iron. ( A heat transfer of sorts). The quote reads "A good husband is healthy and absent"...I like that one LOL.<br />

<br />
There was a little bag too but I forgot to photograph it before all items went on display at the Mossman council building so I' ll upload photos at a later time. To read about how I did the transfers I used look <a href="http://goannafive.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/types-of-transfers.html" target="_blank">here </a>where I did a post regarding them.<br />
