Blog moved

Just to let all my fabulous followers know I have moved this Inky blog and my Crafty Blog to

http://rainbowlady.typepad.com/my-blog/

So fed up of Blogger changing things without asking....and so many people having problems.

I do hope you will all check out my new blog called Rainbow Lady's Artistic Blog now and follow me again... pretty please.

My challenge blog will also be moving... but still in process of sorting that one out.

Many thanks for all your support here over the years.. I hope it will continue xx

I am an Artist

The lovely Dyan Reaveley says we are all artists and should write it in our journals... so here is my attempt.  I drew all the birds and shapes and flowers free hand using various black marker pens ... ha ha... free they are.... following tips from a new book I just bought called 'Creative Doodling and Beyond' - now you see why I like to use stamps most of the time as my drawing is not really very good. Sad really as my Dad was a wonderful artist.... Mum not - so obviously I inherited my non drawing skills from her.  Her handwriting was wonderful and Dad's not ... you see where I am going with this.... blame Mum and Dad lol.  If only they were here to give me some tips... sadly when they were here I did not do any art - only crafts.
After drawing I sprayed the pages using Turquoise and Pink Dylusions inks... what did I do before I got them... and used a couple of stencils with water for the letters and numbers in the background.
I enjoyed playing so that is the whole point of the exercise.

Journaled Hoo Hoos

So my lovely friend Dyan suggested I journal my hoo hoos as I wrote woo hoo and boo hoo in the same sentence in a message to her the other day lol.

Here they are, Woo hoo, Boo hoo, Yoo hoo, Wahoo and Twit Twoo....

thought I had better add the Wahoo picture as a lot of folks won't know what it is... a lovely white fish wonderful to eat and horrid to look at.

I have used inks from Dylusions, stamps from Lost Coast and Dylusions and a lovely owl from whoo knows where... and a couple of Dawn Bibby cutout itty bits.

Words and more Words

Trying to teach myself to write - not having much luck really... oh to have nice handwriting... but I am trying lol .

The backgrounds were created using the fab inks and stencils from the lovely Dyan Reaveley - I love them all x

April Journal pages

Here are my April pages for Kate's Calendar Journal challenge.
I have used mainly Dyan Reaveley's inks sprays, stamps and images.
