Returned

Hi all,

I am back from my break and although feeling a little tired, am ready to pick up my pencils and start creating. For those of you who follow me, you will understand the reason why I needed to have this time out, and I will be writing about that on my other blog AIP.

I have to say that the last three weeks computer wise have been a nightmare as I have upgraded my puter and at the the same time I did lose a years work and photographs in the process. I always have two hard drives one main one and one that I use to store all my pics/wips and photos, but on taking the second drive out we noticed that one of the pins in the back had broken off, and there was no way that we could get a secure connection, so my stuff is intact but in inaccessible ! On doing a bit further research there is a possibility that we might be able to save it, so that is something that I will let you know about later. Needless to say my puter is up and running and as it was my birthday a few days ago, my hubby did this as my part of that as well as getting me a new snazzy keyboard and mouse, a superb a wide screen TFT, and I finally have my daylight lamp for the winter as well, so me is a very happy bunny indeed. Cant quite believe that next year I will be 50 years old lol !

The picture you see here is of a Border Collie Cross called Brandy, size 12 x 10 inches in CPs on Stonehenge, which is a paper I still love to use, actually it is my most used paper.

I have been thinking about where I want to go with this blog in the near future, I have so many ideas that sometimes I get very sidetracked and lose my way in what I am doing. My strength is Animal Art, and this I want to develop more by not just doing a head shoulders picture but adding in a bit of a background, whether it be another animal,landscape or toys etc. The other concept I want to explore is doing a Montage, having done a couple a few years back I like the idea of these greatly.
