Look What's Been Happening In The Studio...

It has been a super crazy time in the art studio!

prepping for upcoming exhibitions I'm participating in...

creating  work for a fundraising exhibition...

and then completely wandering off task and painting flowers...

and watercolour ink birds!

Plus there's been a few competition paintings done.

(which I can't show you yet because it's secret squirrel stuff!)

Too many ideas...too much to create.

Both in the art world and the blogging world!

Yes - I admit it - I am a prolific painter!

If you didn't know, I'm in the studio painting four days a week,

with a few hours each day, blog preparation and writing.

Usually, I have one full blogger's day a week - when I create 'other' things.

It's busy - but I love what I do!

And I love sharing it with you.  :)

My NEW 'OLD' Book...

I love books!
And I just had to share the latest in my collection.

A childhood dream was to become a librarian!

I never did do that,

 but I still LOVE books.

I love reading,

looking at...

collecting...

and using books in crafts and DIY.
(this one's safe though - as it has the 'I'm special' label).

This book is so old.

Published in 1905 in fact.

It's worn, tatty and tired.

But for me it was love at first sight!

Just look at the gorgeous green embossed cover.

It is a beautiful book.

'Good Words' is full of short stories.

And wonderful black and white plates (pictures).

Here are a few:

But the one I adore the most is of the girl with the dreamy eyes.

Beautiful, don't you think?
