Well that sure turned our lifestyle on it head didn't it ........

Life can change in the blink of an eye- or in my case - in the last few seconds of a catch up call with my youngest daughter.  There isn't a need for details here but long story short - We've upped and moved house back to the Midlands, we've sold the motorhome and are no longer part-time travellers.  There, when it's said quickly it all sounds so simple.  The impact upon this particular little slice of the internet is that I no longer have a studio and any work I do is definitely no longer done under the arms of a gorgeous old oak tree.  However, as it took me soooooooooo very long to come up with a name for my little practise I've decided it can stay as is for now.  Also for the time being my cards will continue to be stocked in Knighton and the plan is to look for additional outlets in my new locality.  

My mojo, however, is something else entirely. Actually that is probably better described as lack of mojo and having half my 'stuff' still packed away in boxes that are now up in the loft and my one desk (the other one is also up in the loft in pieces) squashed into the corner of the conservatory - I am at a slight loss as to how that's going to get back on track.  Throw into the equation two additional adults and one gorgeous little new-born baby girl living in the same house and you probably get the picture.  BUT, I will get there, if only for my own sanity at the very least.  Therefore, I have absolutely zilch new to share at this moment in time so I'll just pop on here an oldie from an class I took a few years ago.  Personally I don't think I ever actually finished but it is what it is.


Hmmm, maybe I'll make this one into a card .........

Hello and welcome

A glimpse into my studio -  Hello there! It's taken me a while but I've finally started work on my online presence to accompany my creative journey.  To be honest this post is pretty much a place holder whilst I work on constructing the galleries and links to my online shop.  For a while it will remain the top blog post and I'll update it as I go along. Hopefully when all the construction work is completed the blog posts will be used to reflect where I'm at creatively and share some of my experiences. I have started work on my online shop (hosted by Sum-Up)  Eventually you'll find pages for cards, limited editions, originals and a full gallery listed at the top of my Home page.  These will detail the art work that is available and will provide a link to that item in the shop. If you'd like to just go straight to the shop then please follow this link here . I've no idea how many folk I'm likely to reach but hopefully it will be fun finding out, and please...

Our House

I had a little session in the studio a couple of days ago with the main aim of producing a birthday card for one of our grand daughters'.  That session proved to be successful and the outcome was both the required card and a new one for my 5 x 7 range (which I have already printed out and used for an 18th birthday card too)   As a result of this session I do also have a small series of acrylic paintings that I've played around with in a digital mock up in order to test how best to frame them.  I'm really liking how they might look.  Not sure whether to stick with black frames or try white and oak - we shall see.  Firstly though, I need to cut the mounts  accurately which is always a challenge. I'm intending to make these two originals available from Walkmill @no 7 over the next week or so, always presuming I can cut the mounts correctly of course. Thanks for reading Wendy xx

Snaps

I'm working away slowly in the background on a few bits and pieces so I thought I'd just share some photos. In no particular order. Drop me a line if you're interested in anything
