I made some nice key fobs for stocking fillers. These are very quick to make as well as cheap and cheerful. Here’s a picture from two sides.

I took part in an ATC swap with a theme ‘Beatles’. I really enjoyed that. Here’s what I did:
They are from the following songs:
1. Here comes the sun
2. Lucy in the sky with diamonds
3. All you need is love
4. The word
5. And your bird can sing
6. Fixing a hole
7. Strawberry fields forever
8. Help!
9. Hello, goodbye
10. Eleanor Rigby
I think my favourite is ’Lucy in the sky with diamonds’ or ‘Help!’ I’m so into punchinella at the moment

This is my first ever canvas. I suffered from a very serious case of blank canvas syndrome at first but after several weeks of just staring at the white canvas I took the plunge. I painted the canvas with acrylic paints. Here is what it looked like after painting. The canvas is 20 x 20 cm.
After this stage I got the multicoloured canvas syndrome. Took me weeks before I could carry on. Don’t know what is so difficult about this because it is so much fun. I continued in the end with stamped images stamped on silk paper which I adhered with acrylic binder. The rest is done with gel pens and metallic inks. Oh, and the Sun has got a metal crown.
This is going to go on the wall in my craft room. I am mad about all things celestial so it’s quite appropriate. I just added a category called canvas so that must mean I’ll be doing more of these
