more tattoos


Tattoos have been absorbing my brain all day at work...have now finished this latest epic.....really liked the blue/green colour against the strong reds and browns...might be too much for the voters though!!!

ceramics from South Africa






Gay du Toit is the mother of one of my best friends, my long time suffering allotment partner Nicky, or Nicolette as she was christened back in her south Africa days.....Gay does not ever seem to stop producing beautiful ceramics, painted and decorated in the most wonderful colours and designs....and these boobie pots are her latest creations! I love the serene but slight amused expressions on their faces! Arn't they gorgeous!

daily diary






Definitely finding it harder to find something interesting to paint every day but have not yet succumbed to cheating! here are some entries in no particular order! not all of them are worthy of sharing!

tattoos


Cannot resist this weeks spoonflower challenge which is tattoos.....Francesca has this great book, 1000 tattoos, and I really love the old fashioned Sailor Jerry tattoos of swallows and hearts, so spent a glorious sunday evening painting them so that I can scan them in tomorrow!

great chinese painting





Excellent chinese paintings by my very talented sister in Law, Tracy, who is putting her Brunei stay to good use!!! I reckon she is giving the south east asian painting fraternity a run for their money! I really like the rooster!

baby carrier competition


Wanting to enter yet another spoonflower competition, this time for the prize money of $500.00. Needless to say there are 270 entries for this fabulous prize- spoonflower regulars will never again be satisfied with a mere 5 yards of free fabric!
I have done this design on illustrator, to match the colours of the company who is sponsoring the competition.
Please vote for me- the teenagers have sapped the last of the funds!
