Hello Friends.
Artist Kaisa Hart ran a free 3 day online art journal retreat recently. I can never resist a freebie, so I decided to join in.
Here is the journal spread I created.
Thanks for dropping by and wishing you a great new week and month,

Hello All.
Here's my art journal calendar for the month of May. I'm linking it to Valerie's Poems theme at Art Journal Journey. I found a lovely May Day poem by Patricia Walter online.
I used a gelliprint for the journaling circles. I love the contrast with the neutral background.
And finally, here's my completed April calendar.
Hello friends.
I'm a bit behind with my posting, but I have been creating prints every day. This post will be photo heavy with 2 weeks of gelliprints for my 100 days of gelliplate printing.

Hello Friends.
My energy levels have been low lately as I'm anemic, but I'm finally getting an iron infusion on Monday so hopefully that will help. My autoimmune hepatitis has a lot to answer for! The medication makes all my blood counts low 😒 Thankfully I can still manage a walk nearly every day, I just struggle a bit with the hills.
I've been wanting to make another art journal page for Valerie's Geometric Forms theme at Art Journal Journey, and I finally managed it.
Thanks so much for visiting,
Hugs,

Hello friends.
A lovely neighbour passed away recently, after losing her fight with cancer. She loved her beautiful garden, and I created an appropriate card to give to her husband.
I used some gorgeous stamps by Tracy Evans, with Distress inks.
And here is the start of a new crochet blanket I started recently. It's grown a bit since this photo was taken though 😁
I'm following a pattern by Zooty Owl. Here's a link if you're interested. I'm using some of my leftover yarn balls. It's a great way to use up scraps. I've got a lot of those! 😂

Hello all.
Here are my gelliprints for week 8 of the 100 day project challenge.
Day 50 - alcohol inks
Day 51 - more alcohol inks, dripped onto the gelliplate, then used a hairdryer to blow the inks about. Brayered some acrylic paints when the inks were dry, pressed bubble wrap into it, then took the print. Love this effect.
Day 52 - a gorgeous stencil and acrylic paint.
Day 53 - string and bubble wrap.
Day 54 - stencil.
Day 55 - Posca pen, masks and bubble wrap, with acrylic paint.
Day 56 - handmade stencils on a print with leftover edges from previous prints, then a gorgeous ghost print.
Thanks for visiting,
