 At last I've made time to blog. I do not have enough time in the day to do everything these days now my Mojo is back. I can not believe that I have wasted 8 years reading Kindle. I'm limiting m...

I was in Conwy yesterday and I remembered I had designed a motif using my Bernina software years ago using some of the wrought iron from a long Art Nouveau style window from this lovely building ...

From this Suddenly I'm full of energy and all because of a few grains of salt. About 6 weeks ago I was told I had dangerously low levels of sodium in my blood and apparently it's been low ...

I had not bloggded for a good while now and I have had so many problems as I could not enter my blog for some time. I am in at last and I hope it stays like that. This was me at 17 years old...

The shadow hunter was out yesterday in the sun. I’m sure some of these will come in useful and they are only a few of the photos taken. Watch this space.

I have many prepared pages in my sketchbooks that are ready to play with and develop into proper sketches. This is what I’m doing at the moment, looking through all my sketchbooks and finis...

It's wonderful to feel creative at last and this is what set it off. My GD asked me if I could cut this vinyl for a ballon she was using for a friend's birthday. So out came the Cameo Silhou...

I've decided on another challenge. I will start blogging again at least twice a week. If I can sketch every day for 66 days, then surely I can blog at least twice a week. This is one of the ...

I've been playing with my blog most of the afternoon. It has become very messy and unreliable as it's been such a long time since I posted, so I decided to have a new look. Please let me know if ...

Plas Ty Bwlch  is one of my favourite places in the whole world and I look forward to staying there two oan r three times  a year. I love taking photos each time I go and most of them are r...

Here are the three bridges that cross the river at Conwy. I read a very interesting article by a local historian  Llew Groom explaining how the first bridge came to be built. This is very i...

Conwy Quay is a magical place for a mad photographer! I took 273 photos and most of them of rusty chains and implements. I wonder if anyone knows what these are? I had no idea until I sa...

My colours have changed slightly from what I started off with and I've come to the conclusion that I'm not the sort of person to have favourite colours. My colour schemes seem to change with...

 These were my first paint strokes with my Goldens and I knew immediately that I should have listened to my friends advice and not save them for a special project. I bought them a few years ...

I've made a start at developing my digital designs using paint but did not get the colours quite right this time. I'll have another go tomorrow as I've done quite a few other things that have...

I think these could become my new favourite colours. They are a little harsh as they are here, but if I use paints and tone them down a little they could be very pleasing. My favourite way o...
