    Yesterday a 2″ circle punch arrived. I was totally confused. Apparently I ordered it in January, and I had completely forgotten about it. It’s now back in stock, apparently. I had been using one of my gel plates as a palette, so I pulled what was on there, and it wasn’t exactly inspiring. The surprise…

    Collage Fodder and a Tap

    Today was a disrupted day because we had a plumber coming to fit and outside tap. I am chuffed to bits that we now have an outside tap, especially given the forecast is for a long, dry summer. I am not chuffed about the climate change part of that, but the easier job of watering…

    Painting Tools and Collage Fodder

    I ended up with only a short amount of time for art today, and I decided I wanted to give my portrait a rest, and have some space from it, before going in to hopefully finish. Instead I did some simple play in my old sketchbook, not really trying to create anything, just moving paint…

    It is a windy day today, and after walking a few miles in the wind, I was not enthralled with being in my studio room listening to the wind, which seems to be very loud in that room, and painting. I did spend some time in there, tho, doing a quick gel printing session. I…

    Sponge Brush Portrait

    I’m still playing with this reference from Unsplash that I like, and today I was playing with one of the paint colours I mixed the other day and a sponge brush. I’m really enjoying the sponge brushes just now. I also spent a lot of time trying to organise collage fodder, gel prints, and all…

    I have had a great day today. I decided to use up the paint in the stay-wet palette leftover from my recent mixing exercise to make collage fodder. I pulled out a couple of small gel plates and got stuck in. I have to say it was the most fun because I finally have enough…

    Recycled Stars and Inky Drips

    I have been busy in my studio today doing lots of different fun things, and one of the fun things I got up to was recycling some pages from an old journal to turn them into collage fodder. I checked the pages first to see if there were any amazing insights, or delicious memories, but…

    Playing in my new space

    I spent today playing with different things, just seeing how my revamped space works for me. It will take me a minty to get used to things, but so far it’s a lot more fun to play in, and a lot more flexibility in what I can get up to. Having my old tall table…

    I had a nice little plan for today, and idea, and a continuation of a project. I was feeling all positive about how I was going to get started without resistance, and have a super productive day. Unfortunately the plan involved using a small collection of specific collage fodder that I collected together a while…
