Some postcards and an ATC already on their journeys ....It's funny I was making lots of reds and orange cards in Winter and now moved onto the blues in Summer ....my theory must be right then that I go to warmer pallette when I'm cold and cooler pallette ...etc......x
Lovely blues and hearts. Summer colors of the sea and sky. Honey yes and some herbs for the chest! I am finally feeling a little better...thanks. xox Corrine
Corrine thanks ....take care of yourself...xx Thanks Jennie loving your birday journal it's looking fab ...xx Thanks Sue if you want to swap anytime ......xx
Lay Hoon thanks for that....xx Lesley all I know is that I could happily hibernate all Winter...I have only just realised that I use different colour palettes....How are you affected?...xx Cathy i totally agree with you .....xx Anne yes glad you were pleased with it ....xx
Lorna, I like your observation about color and season. I know that I work with color in a way that makes me warmer or cooler according to the season, but sometimes I like to reflect the season--like painting with hot marigold orange in the dense torrid days of August. Have you ever thought of having an on-line show of your postcards? It could be fabulous.
Hi hannah that sounds interesting an online show .....mmmmm.....xx Lyric thanks yes I do enjoy working small and sending them off ...........perfect.......xx
Lovely thoughts and gorgeous postcards. Mine was the first one shown and I simply love it! Divine Lorna, thank you. Yours got delayed a wee bit but it'll be crossing the pond soon. xoxo
Palettes and your blues/reds- that's interesting. I gravitate towards Impressionist colours but when I paint my palette usually is set up with bright Matisse colours. go figure. There's a wild gypsy waiting to burst out from behind those soft pastels.

Come and visit my other blog ArtyMaker..I have been lucky enough, along with 8 other Textile artists to take part in The Enliven Project....a project organised by Eastleigh Borough Council....which means that we are working as artists in residence in local Charity shops ...we will create an outfit out of goodies we find in our allocated shop which will be put on display for a month. The outfit will then be featured in the Eastleigh music Festival weekend in July
