Operiaa Sigh & The Books of Odd

Hi again all! Other things that I have been working on these past few months are additional volumes to go with my first "Book of Odd". Volume #1 would no longer lay flat when fully open. lol Above is a photo of volumes 2, 3 & 4. I still have to post a pic of book 5, my skinny version of The Book of Odd.

So the top photo is of a spread I created in book #2. I created a fictional character from the distant planet Electra, a twin planet of Earth. The name of my character is "Operiaa Sigh". And, of course she sings opera! With a name like that, she should! lol When Operiaa sings to someone, she can unlock their past lives and tell them their full life story. Earthlings find her quite enchanting!

April with the Calendargirlz...

Here are my latest additions to the Calendargirlz round robin. For the month of April I am working in juliet's CJ.

Artwork & injury...

Happy weekend everyone! I hope you all enjoying beautiful spring weather like I am today here in Ontario! I've been off work for a few weeks now due to a shoulder injury, and will still be off work for a few more weeks. Sadly, it is my left shoulder; and I'm left-handed, so I won't be able to spend time creating for a while. But I do have loads of artwork I have neglected to add to my blog. So, I will do that for the time being. Boy, typing with one hand is a l-o-n-g drawn out process! Anyhow, I will be adding some of my art I've created over the past month+, starting this evening! So have a gander if you wish! With warm hugs from Vale :)

Next personal journal entry...

'Morning all! Above is my latest addition in my handmade personal journal. This spread was inspired by an incredible artist friend, Toni. Her vivid and lush imagination never fails to blow me away. The inspiration she gave me put in mind a special memory that I hold close to my heart. It's of times spent as a little girl in the vast garden behind my Auntie Gert's great stone house. The cat I used in my little story is one of the cats I have now; and yes, her name is Angel Pudding! I have added a photo of her.

Another personal journal prompts spread...

'Afternoon all! I've completed a second personal journal prompts spreads posted in the calendargirlz group. I've used the prompts: stencils, and a paperdoll. I'm looking forward to playing with more of these personal journal prompts in the future! It has been a very long time since I've used a fairy them and it was fun! Above is my latest spread.

Personal Journal Prompts spread...

Today I worked on a spread in my personal journal. I've combined three of the Calendargirlz journal prompts juliet posted for us to play with. The prompts I used were: a favourite quote, the colours aqua, berry, tangerine and black, and, to use stitching on our page(s). I don't sew very much, so I created a blanket stitch border using a black permanent ink pen. Above is what I've created using these prompts, and I had a lot of fun creating it!

Nite nite, sleep tight...

I am burning the midnight oil tonight, working on a spread in my art journal, and playing around with photos on Photoshop. I decided that I needed a hot cup of tea, and on my way downstairs to the kitchen, I noticed that my beloved Rottweiler "Sophie" had already received a visit from Mr. Sandman. So I had to capture her with my camera as she was losing the battle to stay awake! lol
