Paper Trader's Gothic Arch Swap

I came across this widget that adds quotes to your blog, being a 'wordy' person (the lovliest compliment I have ever recieved (from Kelsey) I thought it would be a great one to have on my site.  I LOVE it.... I love quotes..... I like thinking about them & what they mean & how they apply..... & why whom ever said it, did.  I know you'll like it, & perhaps this may even inspire art!Pt_arches_back_web Pt_arches_fronts_web   

As you can see, I have been working on Gothic Arches this weekend.  I have been really stuck on these, which is TOTALLY stupid, because it is one of my fav. topics AND shapes.......but thereGothic_jewels_web you go, there is no accounting for 'artistic ferver' sometimes you just have to muddle through.  Gisele graciously offered me an out, however, I have been hand making the charms for some time now & have made jewellery pieces with initials on for each of the other 10 participants, had my arches, cut, painted, sorted, images ready, but just couldn't get it together.  I feel as though my work is looking all the same at the moment, & that is frustrating me!  IN my 'stuckness', I missed the other 'weekly' arch challenge & didn't do a whole lot for a couple of days.  So I have made eleven of these.....all a little bit different.  6 are for the swap, 1 as a hostess gift to Gisele and 4 for my own deco.

Wow, these are fabulous and so is your whole blog. I have been enjoying going through it and at the same time have been wondering how you get the time to do all of your artwork :-)

    GRAB YOURSELF A CUPPA... Coffee_cup

    & have a look around. BELOW is a list of catagories which house archives, each of my previous posts here. Each post is allocated to a catagory as I write it, only 7 remain on the main screen at a time, after that they archive into their assigned catagory as they drop off the main page. So that's the place to click if you'd like to see something in particular. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT EVERYTHING THAT I POST ON THIS SITE IS COPYWRITED. I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN BE INSPIRED BY EXPOSURE TO VARIOUS ARTISTS, BUT PLEASE DO NOT STEAL MY WORK.

    GROWING TOGETHER: I want to 'mentor' creativity in fellow artists, knowing full well that I will grow & evolve in the process, so early 2007 I commenced a new catagory called 'THOUGHTS TO PROVOKE CREATIVITY' I hope that you find this encouraging & I always appreciate your comments & feedback.

    A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I am an interior designer by day, & an artist by night, perpetually playing with paint, paper & interesting imagery. I enjoy lots of art - in various mediums & forms, & am happy to swap a needle for a glue brush at short notice. I am a disabled artist - as I don't draw or paint very well, so I rely a lot on ephemera, found imagery & rubber stamping. (my first love) I was a child bride & had 2 babies in 2 years & a 3rd followed a few years later, so I now find myself at the delicious age of mid 40's with my children grown up, my house to myself, (well, most of the time) & enough money to indulge my artistic passions......quite frankly some days when I am sitting in my art studio looking out the window, it just feels like a little slice of heaven! At the beginning of 2006 the last of our children moved out & DH & I have begun to talk about what 'our plans' might look like. We have extended our home & made lots of adult living space, but lo & behold, we were told by 2 of our 3 children that they were expecting. Well, our two little darlings have arrived......Eleanor Grace (aka Princess 'L') in July 06 & Toby Caleb in Dec 06. Being a 'Nonna' is SOOOO much fun....as someone once said....if I knew being a grandparent was going to be so much fun, I would have been nicer to my kids!!! LOL!! Interests These are a few of my favourite things: ALL THINGS COLOUR, Italy, Art & Architecture, Alice in Wonderland, Pears, GSP's, The West Wing, Hot Rods & I also love the movies....classic fav movie would be Gone with the Wind.....I love Scarlet, she is SUCH a villan.....Modern movies......The Bourne Identity/Supremacy,Swordfish, The Ya-Ya Sisterhood,Life is Beautiful, The Day After Tomorrow
