Have a look here, at Jezze. Her brooches made from fragments of ceramics inspired these artworks that I painted on shale fragments which came from a friends garden when they replaced their patio! Small, simple and recycled to boot!

Drawing inspiration.
Working, as I do, alone in a studio can be quite lonely, without the inspiration of others. This week I have happened on some truly amazing work on the internet. Work that has inspired and challenged me.

Inspiration shared!
This past week I have been trawling the net - as usual - but have been so inspired by what I have found and I want to share some of these wonderful blogs and sites with you.
Drawings by Esti
First up was Esti, she lives in Bilboa, draws, takes pictures and writes. Go there and be inspired. her drawings are so simple yet they speak to one so effectivly. I love the combination of collage and pen drawings, simple yet saying much.
Drawings by Heather Jones Smith
Next, Heather Smith Jones' blog is just so different from Esti's, simply a record of life, the mundane pleasures that make up all of our days, recorded.
Hope you are as inspired as I was. I will over the next while add to this record of inspiration.Monday, June 8, 2009
Having fun with scrap designs...
This weekend I was totally enthralled with designing for scrap booking. I love these protea designs, taken from drawings I did for cards and journals. All the designs come in 12" x 12" pages. The colors are so yummy, bright and sunny!
OK now I need to take a break or I will just nauseate everyone with corniness.
I am photographing my stationary for the catalogue... and my Etsy Shop, time consuming work. I was playing around in Adobe and managed to work out how to import multiple pages at a time which will make it much easier going. My Etsy Shop is coming along and I am so excited about getting all my goodies up and on show.
In the meantime the adored husband is in Tanzania for a week and it was strange to be seeing him off for such a short time - 2007 / 2008 he was up there for 3 months at a time! So this is good.
