these are my pages for anther moleskine exchange.The theme is 'the moon' I chose Selene as goddess of the moon, and have shown her with her white poppies which aid sleep....
I have 6 moleskines with me at the moment! and feel quite happy :-)

another moly exchange page

I am too fast with these books I know. This arrived yesterday and is meant to be with me for a month!!! I really would enjoy a swap with someone who would have a faster turnover....perhaps a group in the UK who are as compulsive about art as me...

this moly is themed " my favourite animal" I happen to be very fond of crows, and ravens, and jackdaws.....I think they all come under the name 'Corvus' but I'm not sure, anyway I enjoyed doing this and am now waiting for another book to land on my doormat.

ornaments I have at home, put into new situations (some are tiny...and others are quite large)
I have been mulling ideas around trying to get a grip on something to spur my creativity, so I tried photoshop.
I am very very new to photoshop... I am amazed how long fiddling with this took....I think other than playing with it for a while i will stick to my paints :-)

it has been a while since I have found a subject that I can pin a body of work on, something that I think I can carry into a body of work, rather than flitting hither and thither....The Fetch suits me at the moment. I just hope I can make something of it.

I have had a photo accepted by shmap for their map of prague....the toy museum. Nice, I loved prague :-)
