Texture and Other Stuff

Hi Everyone!

I have another page to share for Jo's Texture theme at Art Journal Journey.


This page started with some gesso and leftover paint, then I added some collage materials, book page scraps, teabags, paper coasters, and die-cut leftovers. Then I just went crazy, scraping red and blue paint and white gesso over it, stamping lime paint with giant Lego, drawing circles with drawing ink, and dripping :-) I tore some lime painted book page circles, adding them to the ink circles, painted red hearts, and finished with some scribble writing and black ink splashes.


Now for the other stuff. Some photos from our early morning walk. We saw lots of Canadian geese on the golf course lake on Monday. I love the mist rising off the lake!



A beautiful sunflower growing in our garden.


And especially for Neet, a photo of my guinea pigs, Angus on the left and Elliott on the right, enjoying some grass. Elliott's the cheeky youngster at 18 months, and Angus his long-suffering 4 year old chum. They get on quite well really, bless them, and they're actually the same size, although Angus looks a lot smaller in the photo.

More Crafting With Gio Gio

Hi Everyone!

After a weekend of feeling very poorly after eating some unripe pineapple (who knew that would cause vomiting etc. for a whole day?!), I'm now caught up with my Instagram challenges and 366 Somethings.

Today I'm sharing my art for Giovanna's challenge.

Geometrics Galore (17 April) - I made a geometric bird art journal page, paper piecing with gel prints. I'm linking this page to Valerie's Geometric Shapes theme at Art Journal Journey.


Tag It (19 April) - I made a bundle of tags using my Gelli Plate.


Silhouette (21 April) - I used a couple of That's Crafty Stencils to decorate one of my gel printed tags. I'm linking my tag up to Tag Tuesday's Anything Goes Challenge.


I was feeling much much better today, and spent the morning cleaning out my guinea pigs and tortoises. Then I bathed the piggies and trimmed their nails, which was a challenge. I gave them lots of snuggles and some of their favourite treat parsley to make up for it.

Here's Angus...


and here's Elliott...


Hope you're all keeping safe and well, thanks for visiting,
