Good morning. Just been going through some of my Encaustic Art and attaching some example cards I did awhile back, thought you may like to see them. For anyone out there there that does not know what Encaustic Art is. Here is a brief explanation. It is around 2,500 years old and was originally practised by the Ancient Greeks, Romans and the Egyptians. Basically, it is a process of baking or fusing wax colours to a non-absorbant backing. Every card is an original, unique work of Art. If you're interested in purchasing any, just message me. They're £3.50 plus postage. PS I have squeezed a couple of quilling cards in here too. Hope you enjoy browsing over them.

Good afternoon everyone. Lovely and sunny down here in sunny Devon. Just designed two more cards, using Distress Oxide, 'Kitsch Flamingo and Versa Fine Claire 'Monarch' for the backgrounds of the cards. Summer bouquets for the embellishments and using Lavinia Stamps stencil. They come with envelopes and the card is left blank inside for your own personal message. If anyone would like one designed for themselves, or a friend, I am selling them for £2.50 plus postage. DM me if interested. Enjoy your Easter weekend.

Morning everyone. Just changed my cover photo to my gorgeous Gazania - reminding me that Spring is just around the corner. Unfortunately, rather a wide corner methinks. We've had a hail storm this morning here in Devon, which tells me that Spring is not 'just around the corner' quite yet. Enjoy your day.

Morning all. It's still dull and overcast in Devon, so really glad I took these photos of the garden when we had some sun a few days ago. Spring is definitely on the way. Hope you like them.
