I Love Moo!

Ever since Mrs B began I've always used moo.com for my business cards.
It's so exciting when they arrive in the post!
This time I decided to try the square business cards with the rounded edges and I'm delighted with them.
The paper seems to be smoother this time and it's really easy to download your designs.
(I sound a bit like an advert don't I, but I've not been sponsored or anything.)
And here's the design for the back of the cards....
Hope you like!

Whitby Days (Part Two):

Just wanted to show a few more of my Hipstamatic snaps from my holiday...
I love this photo of Mini Goth so much!
Sound advice indeed!
Look how bizarre this filter is!
(I love the arrows in the background!)
One day I will pay a visit, I always chicken out!

Fancy some chips and scraps after all that mooching?

Whitby Days...

We had a fab break in Whitby and I took so many photos I think I'll have to split this post into two parts!
Fancy a bracing walk....it's only 199 steps up to the top!
I used the Hipstamatic app to take these, and for some strange reason it shuffled the filters around.
There were some unusual effects.....hope you like!
The control freak in me is not happy at all that the photos don't fit together in a series, but it was great to play around!
Hope you enjoyed our walk up to the Abbey.
That's blown the cobwebs away!

A Mother's Wish...


If I stare at you,
Please forgive me...
Because I know that in the blink of an eye,
You will be all grown up.

I always get a bit of a spurt on as the time draws nearer, hope you like this new stitched mono-print.
Hope everyone will enjoy an arty crazy day.....with lashings of cake of course!
See you there chucks x

The Big Day!


Last Saturday was the grand opening of 'The Time' exhibition at The Steel Rooms.
It was brilliant to see all the work hung and displayed so professionally, and it was great to have The Steel Rooms Collective all together again.
I was very cheeky and managed to persuade all the artists to pose with their work.
( Sorry chucks!)
Here's Pat, rocking the very artistic pose!
Her large abstracts ooze with colour and textures.
Julia's abstracts literally glowed with colour.
Here's Marianna with her highly detailed and beautiful work.
(This one looks like trouble!)
Here's Julie with her delicate landscapes.
And Martin, with his colourful seascapes.
Carole's abstracts were so bold and vibrant, and she also exhibited the finely detailed still life illustrations above.
This is Liz, her layered paintings were incredible.
Debs exhibited lively illustrations and beautifully textured wabi sabi- inspired paintings (clever lady!)
Emma produced a series of beautiful paintings in the most subtle, soft palette.
The exhibition is in memory of Bob, a Steel Rooms Collective member and well loved friend, who sadly died before the opening.
We miss you chuck, thanks for all your help and encouragement.
