I have been out trying to get some shots of the wild turkeys and think I finally got one I like. They are had to photograph - they are pretty timid and run away.

Spring is here and everything is green and ready to explode with colour.

I received two "Green" ATC's from Val on my Art for the Creative Mind group. Yahoo is not letting me upload to that site so I am displaying my "art gifts" here.



I also received my first of two altered envelopes. These are my favourite colours and I am not sure if I want to part with this envelope and send it to anyone.

Collaborated book swap

I finally got all my pages put together from this latest swap. I got so many great pages from some very talented artists. I was responsible for doing the front and back covers only. Feast your eyes on the wonderful pieces that I received.


It was up to me to do the covers and put the book together. Boy oh boy, that was not easy. My book making skills are poor to non-existant.
Here are the covers that I did.

This and that

Spring has finally arrived!! Its cold and windy here today but the flowers are starting to bloom so I know things are going to improve. Just had a look at a friend's etsy shop and since I am not too savvy on how to link it properly, I'll link it here http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=44430185&fref=fb_itemlist
She does fabulous jewellery amongst other artistic endeavours. She was my tole teacher and still critiques my stuff and offers me support if I am a little hesitant about the quality of a particular piece. I know that I have to step up to the plate a little more often and post my creations here. Now that summer is here I hope to take more time for me and my art.

I am still a beginner trying to do some jewellery type crafting. Here is my first attempt. I have a very long way to go.

I am not the only one that wants to get out and enjoy the spring weather.
