rain rain go away.....

Well its raining again, not as heavy as the torretial downpour we had last weekend, 83mm in 24hrs..... Was just a tad too much!
Half the state is underwater and more rain is predicted with several towns under threat from the rivers breaking their banks. We have been ok here but check this video out , its at a sportsground nearby...


at least there wouldnt be any crocodiles....


I spent a rainy Saturday making tin foil backgrounds. I saw this bedside table that had been foiled and painted on a blog and thought that make a nice background.

so i stuck crumpled tin foil onto cardbord,in random pieces.

I left gaps on one just to see what would happen. Used a blue serviette to wipe up the gel medium and it left the color behind ...)


Metallic paints.....


metallic paints and alcohol inks...



two sides, one with black stazon rubbed over to hilight the foil....

this one i rubbed runny black paint over half of it so it ran in the cracks...

and a quick card made at 7.30 on Fathers Day morning for my hubby who has been enjoying reading all your lovely comments........

woot woot first day of spring.....

not that it felt like it but its coming....

It would be nice if the rain would just stop [oops did i say that!] for a little while to dry out and then it could rain some more....we nearly need an ark here to get around, its that boggy!

Like my lilies? i made these at the craft show:) super easy, except i was the ONLY student [ever] whose flower fell apart at the end.

Dont you love it when the teacher tells you that? I had been watching the girl across from me who was a few steps behind and wondered why i hadnt been shown that step.

Which turned out to the most crucial.

Never mind, i got to make second one and i can sew the other one up.

back view, i love all the wrinkly goodness...


Like the blue pot/vase? Its one of hubbys. He had an exhibition in Sydney last weekend.He had the wall and his friend Su had the floor.....

Landmarks....


wood fired wall 'pillows'


He makes his own stamps from foam for his designs and then screenprints his own decals. The pots are then fired multiple times to build up the layers in his little electric kiln....





ahh, my man!!!
