Three new mixed media collages to go in my shop.
They each measure 9 cm x 6.5 cm and are mounted on 0.5 cm thick EcoArtBoard.
The flower images are from Paper Whimsy (you may have noticed I rather like these ;-) and the leaf is one of my own photos which I altered in Photoshop.
I used fabric, paper, scrim, sari silk, Angelina fibres, tiny brass sequins, machine stitching and hand stitching.

My attempt...
I glued them onto some twisty twigs from a willow tree.
I'm thinking of doing more with ink-washed text (or tea stained?) and maybe add some glitter. Could be good for Christmas...... ;-)

Someone asked to see a few images from the Beaney/Littlejohn books I bought last week........ so here they are. (Not enlargeable for obvious reasons.)
Both books are very inspiring....in fact I'm going to get my embellishing machine out later and have a go :-) Sketchbook work first though....its time I did things the right way round.

Finally........a Peachy pic before I go.
Here's the king of the strange sleeping positions showing off his dirty tummy after a recent escapade. And this was after we'd bathed him. Goodness knows where he'd been........ (He refused to tell us)
