2013 Favourite Projects:
Again, the tree felt 'cut-off'.... so used some watercolour pencils and sewing machine... also extended the ground -horizon
Just love brown paper bags!
This photo has a door cut out so the drippage can be seen
Hannah... this photo always makes me smile
The drippage became branches....
Vintage square lace doily carefully folded, glued and made into an envelope - its fragile and delicate.
A forest of greens and blues
Again, extending the photo up into full trees and along to cast a ground-horizon....., cut out the gate to see the photo behind...
Every now and then.... art - black ink and watercolour
Sketched, water-coloured and cut out the gum-nuts and leaves. The girls were swinging on a huge gum tree, so put in a token of this....

This will be a book of quotes... especially for Hannah when its finish.
Going from cool to warm colours....
Another piece - sketch, barely see colour and photographed with a branch in front..
I LOVE lino cuts... this is only one of many small ones - some I use for stamps in scrapbooking, some are much bigger for lino printing.
is a fuzzy part of a fan seen in the photograph...keeping Hannah cool on a hot night...so recreated the fan grid in the background
Pastels

Extending the background to create a bigger scene...
Photo was used on a program, Paige danced the dying Swan...
Acrylic paint and black ink
December Daily Cover....
Havent quite finished this yet... needs rings and trim!
Another year done and dusted!

You have a style that is uniquely yours as shown in these awesome layouts. It is a gift...when you can take current products and put your Mandy spin on it. Always a fan.
