- Hometown:

- About Me:
- textile and mixed media artist, interested in experimenting with surface textures and
frequently distracted by glasswork, beading, jewellery, ceramics, art journals.
my blog is a mixture of current artwork, garden, and travel around Sydney, Australia.
my website is a record of older work and sadly not often updated as the blog is so much easier to write.

Apologies
I'm spending a little time today offering my apologies to all my Ning groups.
I joined a few groups in a fit of enthusiasm then found I couldn't devote as much time as I'd hoped to them, also found it hard to navigate and answer people, as a result I haven't been checking in or (even worse!) answering all your lovely comments.
I've been having problems with my hands this year, and pain has kept my creativity to a very low level.

New to Ning
I resisted the first mention of Ning, having just discovered Deviant Art and YouTube, and being fully engrossed with Flickr and blogging, did I really need another internet distraction?
Obviously I did, because after following a link yesterday I found myself back at Ning, and my will power was zapped....and here I am.....
I have no idea how I will handle my internet addictions when my husband retires, he walks past every five minutes saying things like "are you STILL there..."… Continue

My eye was caught by your machine embroidery pieces - they are lovely. So vibrant. I totally agree with your comments - I need another group like a hole in the head - but I am loving being here!

Oh dear what have you done- I was looking at your work which I like a lou especially the square piece - what a great idea.
I went on to look at your sites - first was Flickr where I saw that you too like to use a macro lens - my favourite. Everything in my garden is macro'd.
This led me to dumpr.net - easily distracted is an understatement for me - loved it - what fabuloyus pieces caould come from that. I have Photoshop and PSP8 and I collect filters - a filter junkie - but none like this one. Can see me spending time there.
I am typing this while my machine is buzzing away with some digitised pieces - allows me to do two things at once. Once they are finished the paint and other things will go over the top.
Will keep looking at your blogs etc.
Cheers
