Live love laugh

I have been a lover of mixed media art for a number of years.  Mixed media is basically where you use a bunch of different mediums to create one piece, so a piece that includes paint and something else such as wooden embellishments or flowers would count.

It took me a while, but a just over a year ago I got the confidence together to give doing a mixed media canvas a go myself.  I haven't looked back since.


Live Love Laugh is my most recent canvas


This piece features a mixture of pearls, flowers,lace and even chains. 
Nothing is out of bounds with mixed media.


I recently got into crackle and I am a big time lover of wooden flourishes and embellishments, so you will probably see more of both soon.

If you would like to see more images of my Live Love Laugh canvas, please click on the video tab at the top to see a short video with more views.  Check out the shop tab if you would like to see more of what I currently have available.

Catch up with you soon.

Mirror of time

I love to alter or decorate things and this mirror was too much of a challenge to pass up on.


I started off with a round mirror, and the idea that this would be a wall hanging piece and it just grew from there.

The main background features a delicate embossed glitter design that I can assure you will not come off on your hands or anything else.

To this I have added a delicate lace that I have dyed myself, pearls, flowers and a range of MDF flourishes and embellishments.


The title for this piece comes from the clock bezel that I added to the mirror.

The whole piece measures approximately 12x12 inches (30x30 cm) and the actual visible mirror itself measures approximately 3.5  inches (9 cm) in diameter.

Thanks for reading.  I hope to catch up with you again soon.
