Fodder Challenge 2022

 Hi Everyone!

I'm back today with the remainder of my Fodder Challenge projects. Hope you like them.

Day 6 - Pocket Fodder Book with Karen Elaine. This is a perfect size to keep my quirky watercolour birds in, and I added one as decoration on the cover.

Days 7 & 8 - Photo Transfers on Buttons with Jane Chipp, and Vintage Photo Tag with Ricki Midbrod.

Day 9 - Prayer Flags with Dori Patrick. I used paper gelli prints instead of fabric on mine, with ribbon and stitching

Before I go, here's a little crochet project I recently finished. The kit was a Christmas present from my son, and her name is Morag The Highland Coo.

Thanks so much for your kind visit here today.

Daisy Yellow Art ICAD Challenge - Week 7

 Hello All.

Phew! It's so hot here at the moment, we're really not geared up for 40degC temperatures in the UK! I've been lying on the sofa reading/listening to books the last couple of days, but I thought I should get a blog post done. Fortunately, my art room where my lap top is, is the coolest room in the house.

I have some more ICADs to share with you today, for week 7 of Tammy's Daisy Yellow Art Challenge.

Our daughter Beth recently got an award for being one of the top 50 female engineers in the country, for innovation and invention in 2022. Here she is with her dad, who is a civil engineer, and inspired her to go into engineering. Beth joined Rolls Royce's graduate scheme whilst at uni, and now works for them in Bristol, in aviation. She is on the WISE(Women in Science & Engineering) board, and loves to encourage other young women into engineering. Needless to say, her dad and I are super proud of her.

Thanks for visiting me today. I'm off to lie down with a book again now!

Daisy Yellow Index Card A Day Challenge - Week Two

 Hello All.

I know I said I would post these on Mondays, but here they are, just a couple of days late. 

Life has been getting in the way of art lately. We just had a tiring but lovely, long weekend at our daughter's new home, the ground floor flat of a Victorian house, helping her to get the garden in a fit shape for a summer of parties and BBQs. It was lovely to visit Bristol finally, she's been living there over two years now. It's a beautiful city, and she loves it. 

So here are my week two ICADs.

Day 7 - I actually used the prompt, which was 'ROOT'.

Day 8

Day 9

Day 10

Day 11

I'm enjoying doing some collage art again, hope you enjoy seeing them 😊

Thanks for visiting. I hope to do some visiting of your blogs too.

Daisy Yellow ICAD 2022 and The Queen's Platinum Jubilee

 Hello All.

Our Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend is over, and what a weekend of celebrations there were. We didn't venture up to London, but watched it all in the comfort of our living room, but we did have a lovely street party in our little road yesterday. It was great to get together with our neighbours, and thankfully the forecast rain didn't materialise. We all brought plates of food for everyone to share, and it was a marvellous feast. Lots of people expressed the wish for an annual street party. Here are a couple of photos that one of my neighbours took. Unfortunately lots of backs, including mine. I'm a little to the right of the centre, with my red hair and blue and cream striped fleece.

Our neighbour across the road has a new garden room, which came in handy to keep the food out of the elements.

Now to my ICADs. It's the 12th year of Daisy Yellow's annual ICAD challenge, where you create art on an index card every day during June and July. I decided to do collages on mine, with some teabags and stitching too. I'm hoping to use up some of my collage fodder. Here are my first six ICAD collages.

Day 1/61

Day 2/61

I shall be blogging my ICADs on Mondays. I hope you enjoy seeing them.
