Getting creative

What a lovely and odd Easter weekend. I wanted to make the most of the 'lovely' weather. So we decided to go to Cheddar Gorge, yet it was chockablock. I wanted an easy day (fibro never gives up getting at me), so it was a case of hike for about 4 miles just to see the place or go elsewhere. We ended up at Street - Clarks Village. I love the discount shopping centres, although they can be dangerous. This time it was more frustrating, never fun going shopping with no money. So we just ended walking around it and browsing. However I couldn't resist a cute tshirts and knickers from Joules! I was so close to leaving without anything, however I can't seem to resit anything lacey and floraly ;-)

Recently I met up with my friend to discuss, among other things creating a piece of art for her to give as a gift. I need to design something for an unborn baby, which as of yet we don't know the sex. So I need to put my thinking cap on. The art has taken a bit of a back seat recently, yet I relish these opportunities. I wanted to make a 20" x 20" heart for our wedding, yet I have gone against this now as I would no idea where to put it. To put it into perspective the piece would have probably taken me a couple of months to finish as there would have been thousands of little butterflies to create and glue etc.

Some of my pieces of work that I was trying to think outside the box with are pictured below.

I am always looking for other challenges and ideas, so if you have any please get in touch :-)
