A sketch

Drew this face using a blue pen and a marker. I think my drawing skills are improving!! Yippee!!

In memory of Madiba

A very very sad time in the history of South Africa!!!
I decided to do a page on Mandela, the Father of our Nation.

Even though I didn't meet this great statesman, I felt extremely sad on hearing of his passing away. A feeling of great loss, emptiness came over me . Unbelievable , difficult to accept that he has passed on.
Always smiling, always thinking of the next person- he was a saint! There will never be another like him!! 
Rest in peace, Madiba! You will always be an inspiration to us , the people of South Africa!

Flood the streets with Art

A few weeks ago I joined a Facebook group started by Scott Wong. He came up with the idea to leave art in different places for people to find and keep. Something to brighten their day! I loved the idea and decided to join. I bought a 4"x4" canvas and this is what I did.
I used Distress paint, sparkle medium , stencils, sequins and stamps. My first canvas! I'm quite pleased with it. I left it on a seat in Essenwood Park in Durban. I felt so good doing this that I've decided I will continue in the tradition of "Free Art Friday". Every Friday I will leave a piece of my art somewhere for someone to find.

In the Uk in September 2013

I flew to London on the 18th September to spend 10 days with my sister . While there I attended the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Fair held at Alexandra Palace(Ally Pally). Wow, what a feast for the eyes!!!
There were demonstrations at most stalls. I was fascinated by the new Sparkle medium at BJ crafts. went back a second time to watch and purchased a starter pack. I'm so glad i did. You can make the most stunning cards with them in a couple of minutes!!!
