Mindy's Class 2013

Wedding Photo's

Where has all the time gone?????

I have finally remembered I have a blog, HA HA, no excuses I have been slack.
I have had a few things happen in the last year, 1. My eldest son Stuart married his partner Sarah.
2. Their second son Levi was born at the end of May and a few other momentous occasions that I cannot publish here. Now that I have relearned how to login to my account and post this message I will attempt to put some of the pictures of my artwork from the past year up here, not today as I don't have access to my photos at the moment. The only photo that I can update is a photo of myself with my husband at my sons wedding. The wedding was in Port Vila in March just as cyclone Lucy was coming through, so things didn't go quite to plan, but it was a beautiful wedding and everything worked out in the end.

Tim's Tags for 2013

My July tag for this month, as it is raining and freezing here in Melbourne, Australia

I thought I would use Tim's umbrella man, but still go with his colour scheme and his instructions from his tag on this blog which can be found here.

Back Again

I'm back finally updating my blog, sorry I have been away so long, time gets away from you when you are having fun. The 2 photos above are tags I have completed along with the Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2013 and I have loved doing them, they are all different techniques using of course Timmy's products when to hand and others when not. LOL
I have been doing these tags with Jo Hughes, which has also been fun and gives us a good excuse to get together and have good time.

Class Diary of Faces

I have for the past few months been attending an online class A diary of Faces by Sharon Tomlinson

these are some of the painting that I have done, we are going around the world painting copies of original old masters paintings

This has been the most amazing class I have ever done, Sharon's classes are wonderful, she has enabled me to be confident enough to have a go. If you ever have the chance to do a class with her go for it. Sorry about  the sideways photos I could not figure out how to change,
