The last few months

My world has had a few shake ups since my last post in June and I have not been doing much craft at all.

I collapsed and had to visit the hospital, the doctors, the vampires, and then the cardologist in Perth.  In the middle of this Dad passed away.  He will be greatly missed for his wicked sense of humour.  Rest in peace Dad.

Life is getting back to normal now thank goodness.  Taking it easy and learning my limitations.

Have a great Christmas everyone

Cards

A few cards I made for birthdays in May and June for the family

Off cut strips from work and my Spellbinders Labels Dies

For all the "boys"

New Spellbinder Sprockets dies with a technique Leonie showed me a while ago

New Carnation Creations Spellbinders die adding to the flower pile!

Using the Rose Creations dies I made the below flower.

Pages from an old book and sprayed with Glimmer mist

Have at last had a play with the Tim Holtz rosette flowers and loved making them.

I have to get the flowers and the camera in the same place to take some photographs.

Few Months!

Life has been hectic here with work, so little time for craft!

Heading for Adelaide for the sevens rugby but the ute gear box decided just outside Eucla it had gone far enough!  So home we came and were lucky to get there

Had to share this photo of a very bored "madam" on the way home!  Had to see what was going on!

One card to share with you for a made for a  friends birthday

Happy New Year

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
Wishing every one a good and creative New Year

Great Excitement!

Great excitement in the camp

We have won a Highly Commended in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Art Prize for 2010!

Heather myself and Georgina get together once a month and share our Textile Art ideas and knowledge. We had been having fun 'rust dyeing fabric' then over dyeing to get the colours. 

Using some of this fabric we decided to do a combined art work piece based on the theme of earth, water and vegetation in the Goldfields.

The Result

Heather's - Earth (Salt lakes on her way to work each day)

Annie's - Water (required for life here in the Goldfields)

Georgina's - Timber (Based on the timber required for the mines)

There were 259 entries this year. They moved the exhibition from the Boulder Town Hall to Kalgoorlie due to the earthquake damage at the beginning of the year.  Great venue!
