Treasury!!!!

Yay!!!!

Although I'm often surprised at the pieces that are chosen (all what, 2 times now?!) - in this case it's one of the mother's day Flower cards, in an Irish treasury full of celtic knots and swirls...hmm!

Still listing, barely!

St. Patrick's Day Card #2

This one took a little more 'thinking', and drawing up the knotwork was a bit difficult. I thought I HAD it but the embossing does muddy up some of the finer details (fun game, see if you can spot where...!) (Please don't!) I'll see if I can give it a bit of a touch up.

Also, curses, this paper I'm using has a smooth and a rough side...and I never know which I prefer for images and embossing...In these cards the textured side of the white card shows as the second panel of the flag, which works well as it leaves the writing side inside smooth. My mistake was in having the green smooth side out - what possessed me? I'll definitely try changing it next time.

But I do like this idea, of the tricolor...Yep, I think I probably definitely do.

3 things:

1. New sale - and to a familiar Name: Peppercorns2! Which I am convinced prompted...


2. Receeding cold, cough-cough-phew! It's a miracle! And the final miracle...


3. a new treasury! As a result of having the great good luck to be born on this damp lovable little island, I have struck leprachaun gold and been featured in an Irish centred treasury, http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=87279 ...yay!

My favourite item of the treasury is the photograph listed above, or more precisely the next photo in the series, Dark Hedges 2 - the link below the pic goes to Photosworldwide's shop for a peek ;)

No. 3: Traditional Dry Stone Wall

This was the simplest drawing so far, and does it show? Is it enough? Although there are only so many ways to do a line drawing of a bunch of rocks piled on top of each other!
