Well I am away for the weekend. Off to Leicester to visit a good friend and then on Saturday we head off to Birmingham to the NEC for the craft fair....Wondering what goodies they will have on offer to tempt us. I have a few creations ready to be listed on my blog just need to get them photographed. So hopefuly i will get that done when i return.

Here is my latest ACEO...yet to be listed on ebay....I will probably get to that next week sometime.
But this one once again was inspired by my ongoing cat series.
This one is entitled

The Cats Masquerade Ball

It comprises of two ACEO cards 3.5 x 2.5 inches in size and a ACEO booklet or holder in wich the cards sit.
Any way in order to illustrate this better here are the pics.

Here is my Illustration friday monster.
Monster Cat.

When you come to the edge of your reality as you presently know it,and step off into the darkness, faith is knowing that there will either be ground just below your feet or that you shall sprout wings and fly.

This is my first ever attempt at painting or even drawing a parrot.

The Faerie cat

May you find serenity and tranquillity in a world
You may not always understand.

May the pain you have known and conflict you have experienced
Give you the strength to walk through life
Facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

Always know that there are those whose love and understanding
Will always be there, even when you feel most alone.

May you discover enough goodness in others
To believe in a world of peace.

May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours
Every day of your life,
And may you give these gifts as well as receive them.

Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who know hate,
And let that love embrace you as you go into the world.

May the teaching of those you admire become part of you,
So that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched
And who have touched yours are always a part of you,
Even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
It is the content of the encounter that is more important than it's form.

May you not become too concerned with material matters,
But instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.

Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around you.

Realize that each person has limitless abilities,
But each of us is different in our own way.
What you may feel you lack in one regard
May be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present
May become one of your strengths in the future.

May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.

May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself,
And not be dependent on another's judgement of your accomplishments.

May you always feel loved.

A basketful of Easter eggs

The Purple Turtle ACEO.

I love turtles as at times of great vulnerability they are a great symbol of protection. I created this one using prismacolor watercolour pencils and pigment ink to outline the areas.I chose the colour purple as it symbolizes the amethyst the stone wich enhances our inner intuition and like the turtle teaches us to go within ourselves to find our own strengths, talents and truths. But also in psychology terms the colour purple is quite a spiritual colour and is often favoured by artists poets and writers as well as actors and thespians. A truly creative colour
