Dancing Butterflies and Doodles of Dogs!

Hello all you fine Peeps!!  Well, what a beautiful day it is here.. sun shining and warm, bees buzzing.. almost dare I say it... like Summer!  What a glorious start to June!  Today, I have been sat out in the garden nursing a poorly arm, luckily not the one I draw with though. So I have been creating a series of doodles of my Old English Sheepdog called Dollie and my lovely little rascal of a Jack Russell Edwoof.

In my drawings they are called Dottie Dollie and Mister Edwoof Tedley! What fun they have together! Or on their own for that matter!

 And just for now a peek at another in progress, one which I will finish today, as you can see the mouse is unfinished as yet, well I hope it looks like a mouse to you all anyway! One thing I love about Old English Sheepdogs is their big mahoosive black noses, I just love them! And Dottie Dollie is the first one out of a total of five which we have been lucky enough to have in our lives over thirty odd years, that has a tail, and I love hearing the thump, thump when she wags it, and she wags it a lot as she is a happy little girl!

I have done all in all so far... mmmmm... yep..six drawings in this series, but I am keeping the others all to myself for now!

Well, better get back out into the sun to do some more doodling!!  Until next time, love to you all.

Exciting News.. My artwork on Create and craft TV!

Hello Peeps!

Well here I am with some very exciting news!  I have been working on a lovely project with the wonderful Lynda Chapman from http://www.creativecraftingworld.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=61 and have been a very busy bee drawing and painting fairies, pixies and embellishments galore until sparks were flying off my pencils and my paintbrushes were wilting with exhaustion!

All for a brand spanking new Crafting cd rom 'At The Bottom Of The Garden' which is to be featured on a four day deal on the Create and Craft TV channel, starting on Monday 13th May.. so watch out for that!  The crafting cd will have all sorts of goodies, including backing papers, templates and digi stamps too! The lovely Rachael Carver ( http://binkyroo.blogspot.co.uk/) has been working like a whirling dervish  to develop the crafting cd and the marvellous Elaine Wheeler (http://wheelerscraftiness.blogspot.co.uk/?spref=fb)  has been creating some gorgeous cards using some of the digi stamps.  Here are some of Elaines cards she has made using this very versatile cd..... I love the way the embellishments have been used to give a 3D effect!

This digi stamp can also be found here http://www.creativecraftingworld.co.uk/downloads-and-printables/digital-stamps-digistamps-a-kiss

Lynda has been working her socks off getting all the demos, etc., ready for the show next week, I am not sure that she has actually had any sleep!

There are fantastic reproductions of my original artwork in crystal clear 300 dpi (which means good!) and so much much more!

Lynda will be showing my originals on TV

Digi stamps which allow you to paint them, crayon them or whatever you want to do with them! You can re-size them too, just think of the possibilities! Use the embellishments to bring your cards to life and give them form and dimension.  Let your imagination soar like a bird!

A digi stamp! 

So peeps put that date in your diary... Monday the 13th May for four days on Create and Craft, check here for times  http://www.createandcraft.tv/tvSchedule.aspx?mediaId=10, and you can even watch it on your laptop or pc too!  Pop along and see Lynda, she is highly watchable!

Love to you all! Suzie xxx

Coming soon to my Etsy shop! Digi stamps! :)

Hello lovelies, hope you are all well and happy?

When our mutinous house behaves itself again, and we can find our possessions once more (or even reach them!), I intend to concentrate a tad more on my Etsy Shop. I am afraid to say it has been really difficult getting on with anything in a thorough way in the chaos of a building site!

Anyhow, here are a couple of digi stamps which I have been tweaking for my shop.  Digi stamps are a very versatile tool for a crafter to use as they can be resized as desired and of course can be used as many times and in as many ways as you can imagine! Not just for card making at all, as you will see in my photos, I have used one to transfer onto calico and then embroidered it. This will be mounted in an embroidery hoop and popped onto a shelf in my shop soon!  http://www.etsy.com/shop/thecockeyedartymiss

As you can see, I need to do some work with my watermarks! Anyway, until next time Ta Ta! :)
