About Me

My photo
Alicante, Spain
Hi. I live in Spain with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum. Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him. I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have 3 daughters Aurora, born March 2015 and Arabella, born August 2017 and Arianna born 2019. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. I love reading them all. xxxx

Altered Canvas

Good Morning All

Firstly I would like to thank everyone for my Birthday wishes, it was a sweet and a sad occasion, I have had some bad news concerning a very close friend, but we are trying to keep positive.
*********
This is another 18 x 18 canvas I have painted over and decorated.
Once again, the space in the centre is for pics of my Grand kids.


Initial planning


 I painted the canvas in brown acrylic, then rubbed bits with pewter Gilding Wax.

Then just went to town on allsorts of embellishments.

Doilies, flowers, butterflies.



Texture paste through a mask.




I have got one more to do, so watch this space.
