I am in love with art in it's many forms...I seem to jump to different mediums....If you have been following me for a while you may already know that!! Sometimes I feel there are different artists inside of me and sometimes one makes itself very clear that it must Paint...or the other one must Sew.....or this one loves to do Collages and Doodle a bit!!
Soooo do not worry!!! I do not have multiple personalities...I just like to mix it up sometimes!!! :D

Tell me what you think about this ok? Feedback is a great thing!!
Thanks!

Love, Light and Laughter to ALL,

Susan

    Hi, good to meet you thanks for joining! So far 50 has been great ;)

    The Old man od Storr is the other end of the island to us were at the leafy end! Great views from up there - look back, when you have time at the 'walk' I took everybody on round the hill by my house.

    I love a good mix of stitching, painting & collaging - keeps things exciting!

    I think it's just WONDERFUL! Like you, and for that matter, like MOST creative souls, I enjoy doing lots of different things. Very few of us NEVER try any new art genres, and the majority of us have to stick our curious fingers in MANY artistic endeavors! I'm terrible at collages or any SORT of paper-related art, but you have a gift for it! In one piece, you have given so many aspects of a woman's being! Wonderful job! I love it!

    Darn I was hoping you had multiple personalities and they could talk to mine. lol
    How are you honey and are you staying out of the heat.
    I always love everything you create. Just wish it would rub off on me.
    My wedding pictures are up so stop by and have a good laugh
    Love

    Thanks so much for visiting my blog with such sweet comments! I see you are into art journaling as well. I love the doodles and images. Perhaps you can paint the background first with different complimentary colors? I hope you are enjoying your summer!

Hello Dear Friends.... So I'm here again!...I may just start blogging once more!! I wanted to share with you a simple little collage I made this week. I used a vintage book cover as my base. I love the dark green base for the collage. The little girl is from Paper Whimsy. Since I wanted to make something to herald in springtime...I decided to use some vintage ephemera that I have collected over the years. I used a vintage book page from some nature pages my friend Tina had sent to me from Denmark. The feather I have the little girl holding is from a friend in British Columbia, from one of her birds, who donates his feathers!! LOL......I also used a wee little nest I was gifted in a swap a couple of years ago. The little metal hanger I though was a cute way to hang the collage...On the little label it says "Magical"! Springtime to me is a magical time of year, as nature once again brings forth beautiful flowers, and lush landscapes so pleasing to our soul. A
