Cards on Etsy

There are several sets of Handmade Cards

Once they are gone there will be

no more.

Water and Birds

New girls

We actually picked them up about 4 weeks ago

when we were in Perth on our return

from Bali

Since then no 6 went missing

and now no 5 was looking

very subdued when we left on sunday

so we put her in isolation

and are hoping for the best

Old Duck pond

We had a few holes dug in the last couple of weeks

as last year when we were watering the vegie garden

with the tank water it got rather low

which was most troubling

New Duck Pond!!!!!

Big isn't it?

We have 3 this size now

so are feeling abundant indeed

Gorgeous George decided to spend the

weekend up at the shed with us

rather than down in the yard

with the others

She kept wandering into my studio

very quietly and then standing behind me

I would turn around

and get such a fright

She thought it most amusing

I did not

First trip of the season to the beach

I went in to my knees

Dan was braver than I

and went all the way in

But not for very long

A weekend is never long enough

for being home

Woo hoo

Market Day

The day was perfect

we were looking good

Trish's work looked dandy

I had a few framed and under glass

Bits of me and Julia

This little girl was mighty interested in Julia's work

I thought she was going to chew a whole in it

But hardly anyone came.

Those who did were

very interested

in classes

not buying

lets hope it translates well

Nusa Lembongan

We were assured that that we had the best room.

And I must admit the view was pretty darn good.

We spent a lot of time watching the ocean

the tides were phenomenal

seaweed gardens appearing like magic

sunset

coral regeneration

Islands from the sea

vegetation just hanging on

mangrove roots

strange sea stars

Weekend Work New Theme

Mending Land II

Encaustic and Mixed Media

on cradled board

30 x 30cm

It is funny how things happen

I needed some photocopied images

for the demos I am currently doing

to show the transfer technique

detail

and I happened upon a pile of pictures

that are scans of work I did at university

and voila

it all came together

how to add stitch to my work

Mending Land

Encasutic and Mixed media

on Cradled Board

30 x 30cm

And to continue with my beloved Abstract Landscapes

detail

And make a statement?

a comment?

a something

on my feelings for the Earth

and what we are doing

Mending Land III

Mending

Encaustic and Mixed Media

So glad I scanned my pieces way back when

that I used the right photocopier

I think I stay and play here for a while

Must do me some stitching
