OK! I'll admit it. I spend more time reading blogs these days than creating. There! I have said it. There are so many wonderful blogs out there and so many creative people to catch up with that I spend more time seeing other people being creative than doing any myself. I can't help it. I have seen so many techniques that I want to try but each time I come across one there are also links to other new techniques. It is a never ending spiral. However, I have broken free over the last few days and have made a few things. The picies speak for themselves - three cards, an inchie and an ATC.I have had my first proper attempt at soldering like Sally Jean Alexander. It's not as easy as she makes it look. At the moment I am wrestling with discoloured and blobbly solder. I have no doubt that with a little patience and a good hot soldering iron I will smooth it out. It just needs patience - probably. Whereas other artists who make such keepsakes use collaged items I have used some tiny drawings I made. The first one is a badger (surprise, surprise) with some rubber stamped words. No photo yet as I have only done one side of it but I will post one soon - barring horrible accidents.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who suffers from this problem! I just keep seeing something that catches my eye and I think "oh, I'll do that" but then I'm off to another blog and see something else!
I love your cards and ATC....very pretty.
Wow, these are nice cards. You're a pro. I like your paintings of animals.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
My art blog, which I have not updated for a while, is here....My Art
...will update it soon.
Love all the colors of these pieces. So serene and calming. And I too spend way too much time visiting blogs. But I find so much inspiration in the process!
