Didn't like it.
No, didn't like the look of the old page so thought I'd change it round a bit to see if this worked better. Should be able to add a few pics in here with this format as well, which will be good. And you never know, I might be better at filling it out a bit more often :)
I've got myself a bit stuck ths week working on my canvases. The baby ones have come out quite pretty so far - nice soft pics with a tissue paper mache border. But my Burton halloween ones are looking a bit frightful. And not in a good way. It's not really a problem, just taht I've made them a bit tooo colourful so far and think I need to get the black paint out and go Goth all over them. Should be fun!
With Haloween on the way and Christmas around the corner I thought I'd leave My Little Witch here to say hello too.
I've got another few dolls planned including one for my cousin Becky for Christmas, and Baby Alabasta - just wait and see what she is. And I better get a move on with some new Christmas card designs too.
This crazy thing called insperation will just not lay down and be peaceful for me at the mo, and my head is full of things to make I've just got no time to do. I'll get there in the end and then be flat on my face and be strugling to make up a card :) I suppose that's the way of things.

Not very good at keeping up with this am I?
Pretty rubish at it really, but never mind. As you can probably see from the new thing appearing on here, I've been getting very involved with altering dolls. Every girl loves a doll, and I'm no exception.
As usual I've been busier than you can imagine. My art work goes on, and as usual I'm learning new things and improving my style all the time. I also have a new Etsy Shop which you can find at the link below. I hope you gt a chance to have a look. I've also been making myself some clothes, mainly as I can't find what I like in the shops, and have found that it's a lot easier than you'd think. If you like sewing I'd recommend it. Having no machine is no excuss either - I don't have one and do all mine by hand. It's been a rewarding thing to do. At the moment I'm planning lots of new things. I have a few more dolls half finished on my table, along with plans for some canvas' and mixed media boards. The designs for my Christmas cards are in progress, and I'm also working on a few other altered pieces as well including a Tim Burton inspired Halloween canvas. Lots to do.
I will try and keep up with this a bit better, but can't promise anything. I don't get much chance to get on here to type with everything else. I think I better try for adding updates when I can randomly as I always leave it ages so I can spend more time making things instead :) Hope you have a great Hallowen.
