Backlog sharing continued

with the house and quote stamp -Suzi stamps from "Stampavie"


 On with the backlog sharing..... Yippieieieieieieiieie ! I won Glycérine's all-together-now-giveaway ! Yeah !!!! Can't believe it ! Can't wait to see that painting for real...... Oh another thing I have been doing quite a bit is playing with stamps {making them from foam, great for the kids art classes btw} carving them and mounting them on woodblocks {see some here} and then I received Suzi stamps from STAMPAVIE that I won in another giveaway, yeah yeah yeah yeah ! THANK you Heidi !!!! So I did a spread in my journal with some of those, and because I have been playing a lot in my art journals too lately, I'll share some spreads here with you. Oh and my knee ?....well let's say, luckily I don't have to paint with my knees/legs..... 

Faces and Vases - right brain excersize

Colour and info-study page for my first table leg doll

First foam stmp I did....wasn't happy with the result

Playing with pink shades.....this appeared..hehe

Cupcake "study" for a little project -I am not this sweet + pink usually-

found a print of a painting I sent away in a blog giveaway a while ago
wanted to keep some "thing" from it....so turned it into a page.

Drumrolls......Ta ta tadaaaaaaaaaa !!!

I was in my studio and do not have a computer there, so no random.org generator, but I had the list of names, so I made tags, folded them, put them in my favorite cup and "scooped" out the winner...

And the lucky person is............

All together now

So this is my All Together Now post and I am the proverbial white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland * I'm LATE I'm LATE I'm LATE !

So, I should be bragging about myself ? Well this is a wonderful start then isn't it ? I am uhmmm, I am  uhmmmm {hear me stuttering with shame}, I am .......{bright light of revelation!} ... Always FULL of ideas and inspiration !.... and therefor I get LOST or LATE with things, I never forget though, so I always come clean on promiseses and I always finish what I start, ..... it sometimes just gets delayed, in transit, left on the backburner for a bit.... whatever you want to call it. So, oh yes, the BRAGGING: I am wonderful of course, I guess I am proud of myself for always keeping going,  I will fall flat on my face and crawl up again and then I will trip and crash and get hurt again and ....you get it ....I will crawl up again and again and again. I feel a little like Katniss in that way, yeah, you guessed right, I just finished the Hunger Games book 1 {I gave up one evening this week to read it, because I needed to see if I could take my son and his friends to see the movie for his Birthday.....no, they're too young} So that's also the reason I am late with this post, I had to organise this Birthday party, the cake, the sleepover {house full of 11 year old boys now} etc. etc. So yeah, I started a new life yet again {if you wish, you can read about that page in my black book here} and so far I think I am on the right track this time, it means putting in lots of hours for very little at this stage, but at least I am doing something I love and that makes it all good. For those of you that don't know yet {really ? after all that I have been posting on this blog ?} I am a Mixed media artist, designer, teacher, gallery/studio owner now too and a mother of two incredibly cute kids {I love them to bits} and I have a partner-in-crime that is forever on my side {how lucky is that ?} No we never got married, because we preferred to spend our money on travels around the world and admit it, "living-in-sin" is so much more exciting, ha! Find out more about my new studio/gallery and what I do to make a living {here} Find out more about my collection of works {here} and if you like to be in to win this gorgeous give away {I have this handmade and handpainted journal, thought since I just had my nose deep in one, a book would be fitting}, leave a little comment, follow my blog, follow my FB page, I am everywhere. Gotta thank the www.
Have a great party, Yeah !!!!!!! 

All TOgether NoW

I am down, I can't say more, when I am like this I don't talk much. I have works in progress, none finished to share. I did join AmY (a.k.a. Steve)'s gathering of fellow artists that's going to be on the 18th of May, a blog party kinda thing, check it out, it's called : 
All TOgether NoW 
Sounds uplifting, I need uplifting, so there, it's Sunday here and it rains and I feel like the painting I just posted here (an older one), just to have an image here too, (I like postst with images rather than just writing.)
