No pretties to share today

Evening

Sorry, but no crafting for me today

I have a yucky cold, which in itself is bareable, but it also effects my arthritis & my right hip is sooo painful right now.

Can't sit or stand long enough to get anything done, nevermind, more Beechams & back to lay on the bed.

Catch up soon.

The Red Feather for Artwork Award

I was thrilled to hear today that I have been awarded the Red Feather for Artwork Award. I knew I had been put forward for it, but with all the fab stuff nominated, I am gobsmacked to have won it!!Here is the piece that was nominated
It was made using MM acrylic paints dry brushed on to textured Bazzill cardstock, some dribbles of Glossy Accents, Adirondacks Dabber Paint in 'Pearl' hand drawn & cut mug and swirls. the cappuccino foam was created with a dab of the Pearl paint, left to dry {so producing the texture} then a light tap of brown ink for the cocoa powder. Then simply inked & painted around the outside. If you see a piece of handcrafted artwork and would like to nominate it for the Red Feather award, then visit June's blog and put them forward. June is always on the look out for original works!

Just a couple of ATCs

Love this doodled ATC, I had a fun time sat quietly in my armchair creating this one, that I have chosen to name "Tangled Spooks" It's actually one of two {both the same} but only one of them is available to trade! This ATC I created for Junes Monthly ATC challenge, which for October was the theme of 'BOOKS'
The book I chose is
The Earthsea Quartet: "A Wizard Of Earthsea"; "The Tombs of Atuan"; "The Farthest Shore"; "Tehanu" by Ursula K. Le Guin
This ATC already has a home, so not available to trade.sorry about the scan on this one, it doesn't look that tatty around the nameplate in real life, it must be the angle of the photo!

A Pretty Clipboard

I have made this clipboard to keep all my challenge dates & details in, as I have finally had enough of biddy scraps of paper all over my desk. believe me it was a real mess before I finally gave in LOL

This clipboard is simply covered in Bazzill cardstock with a few die cuts for added interest, and the OH won't pinch it because its pink, cunning plan huh?

The clipboard was ScrapaGoGo's project kit for October!
