Chris Karpiac brought the Wanderlust Live classes to an end with her spectacular Hidden Treasures class. This was another of my favourites with mixed media layers and a fabric flap hiding some private journaling. I added lots of stitches and staples.
Hello Everyone!
Here are my latest collaged index cards for Tammy of Daisy Yellow Art's ICAD Challenge.
I hope you enjoy looking at this week's ICADs. I look forward to reading your comments, which are very much appreciated. I love hearing which ones are your favourites.
Before I go, I have a pic of myself with the gorgeous Samson. He's an Australian Labradoodle, who regularly stays with my friend Debbie when his owners are away. Unfortunately Debbie and her husband have Covid, so this week I'm helping them out by walking Samson. I love getting my doggy fix 😁
And yes, I should have finished my mouthful of cake before I took the selfie 😂
Until next time...

Happy Weekend Everyone!
After a nice but cold walk early this morning, then cleaning out the guinea pig cage, I found some time this afternoon for a bit of art. I'll be sharing that another day though, as it's too dark now to take photos.
However, here's my next instalment of Care December pages.
Day 10 - Silver. Apparently silver is a magical colour often associated with the aura of the female. I found a photo of my best friend, myself, and my daughter, taken about 10 years ago, and put it centre stage on my page.
I painted around us with silver watercolour paint. It's very shiny.
Day 11 - Your Senses. I listened to the robins in the cafe garden, whilst drinking a sweet and spicy chai latte.
Day 12 - Paint a watercolour robin. 'Robins appear when loved ones are near.'
Day 13 - A spontaneous call. I didn't make a call, but I did message my cousin the first time in a few months, to suggest a meet up in the new year. I journaled about that, then created my page over the top.
Day 14 - Embrace the mundane. Do some mindful stitching on your page. I stamped the face I carved recently, then used variegated embroidery thread to stitch the outlines. I didn't find this mundane at all.
Thanks for coming by today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Alison
