Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

You have caught me...... WOYWW


In full creative flow, several sample covers for the HugBinders book - and all the detritus that goes with it... believe it or not, it was messier than this after a session on Sunday and was tidy yesterday, cos I had a major office/craft room sort out... now it was either the sun was out (for those of you who cant remember what sun is, its a big orangey yellow thing occasionally seen in the sky) or the fact that our accountant was visiting and I needed to find some missing paperwork!
Can you see my newest favourite gadget The Cinch? Unfortunately though its my favourite its not mine, its on loan - but its fabaroony - for any of you who are as behind the times as me and don't know what a Cinch is, its like a Bind it All but (IMHO) more versatile as you can choose where and how many holes you want.


Whats across this side - well not alot really just more creative chaos - another unfinished project and a net of artists sponges hanging up that are too nice to use....

Anyway, I cant sit around waffling any longer, I have lunches to pack, slimming classes to attend and packing to do, cos I am off to see Mrs Bessie this weekend as as if that wasn't a treat enough we are off to a workshop by Jennie - whoop whoop I'm excited!!

I hope I can pop by and see you - i'll try my best, but its a busy few days so sorry if I dont get to see you xxx

    I feel tired already reading all the things you have done and are doing! I do like the look of the Cinch...perhaps that's something to add to the wish list. Glad all's going well with the Hugbinders,

    I thought you'd painted your room - duh! It's a blind!! Your desk looks incredibly sorted to me, I'm not overly used to seeing just one project on there - and cannot wait to hear how you go on at Jennie's class, it'll be fab. Tell Mrs Bessie that I've been thinking of her.

    I have a binder too, but I have not yet found it among all my misplaced stash. Once my shelves are all in place, I will excavate it and have a go. I fancy making calendars as pressies for next Christmas for son and daughter with all the family dates on. I have enough photos gathered over the last two years to create something. I am interested to know what the Cinch actually does.

    lovely playground. I didn't know you could choose where and how many holes you wanted with the Cinch. But are there different bindings that are wider for use with this machine.

    I have a Cinch as well - haven't used it yet, but used one in a class I took & it worked like a dream...what are those papers you stamped on -the ones with the leaves-kinda translucent???

    I am so jealous of how much space you have*L* I'm in a smaller studio space so I have three art 'centers' in different areas of the room. A corner shelf that holds my bare minimum supplies (would love ot just collect but don't have the room) my main art table, which is includes many other uses and a nice ikea L-shaped computer desk with keyboard on one side and paint stuff on the other. Ah, the days when I had a whole room as a studio:P

    I truly believe it could have been messier, I have a hard time believing it was tidier! Always amazing stuff on show, have a good few days away and enjoy the class!

    Awesome work desk. I need to check into borrowing a cinch. I have a binder but usually just use rings on my chipboard books.

    Lovely covers for the hugbinders, whatever that is. I went to the blog and still couldn't figure it out. How come there are raffle tickets for instance? Patsy from
