<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Applying the various stones was a delightful experience. It looked amazing, adding lots of texture and light to the painting but when I placed the beach houses it did not fit well on the stones, so I had to sculpt the houses and add more stones. Once I added more stones (which I brought in Bavaria) the landscape felt off, so I painted it several times with various shades of earthy tones to get the colour I was finally happy with. I used lots of gold, silver, copper and bronze to add more texture and life. <br />It would have worked better if I painted the houses on but I really wanted to make a feature of it with little roofs. If I am to do a similar piece again I will do a few things differently, using other mediums. But that is the game as an artist, every piece is prototype.</span></td></tr>

<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello friends.......I hope you all are enjoying the weekend. I am so <span style="font-size: large;">thankful </span>for the sunshine today in London as we have been plagued with awful weather which seems to be delaying SPRING.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just wanted to share with you some of my paintings I did back in 2010 when I started to paint in earnest for public consumption. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have grown so much since then as an artist and therefore as a person. My <span style="font-size: large;">journey</span> as an artist has taught me so much about <span style="font-size: large;">life</span>....to live outside my comfort zone and face my fears. When I show my Paintings I hold my heart up for the world to see and therefore I am open to <span style="font-size: large;">encouragement</span>, support, delight , disappointment, <span style="font-size: large;">criticism</span> and compliment. I am more emotionally robust for putting myself through this experience time and time again.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a wonderful and enriching experience to <span style="font-size: large;">face your fear</span> , however small and conquer it! It <span style="font-size: large;">sets you free</span> and opens up a world of greater opportunity and prospects. While I have been painting for many many years I did so quietly and privately just for myself and loved ones..............and now I do it openly and freely and put it out here for the world to view. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So if you have a dream, desire or wish and fear is holding you back I encourage you to try to face it , head on and experience the elation and freedom it brings when conquered!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fears I had and conquered-; using a computer, being on Facebook, uploading photos, making videos, flying, having children, abandonment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Current fear I am conquering-; learning to drive! wish me luck.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> If you faced any of your fears recently or in the past and would like to share, please do, as it may encourage others.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Very Best Wishes to you.....Chelsea. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love doing commissioned jobs. I made this bracelet for a young lady in the US and was requested by her partner as a surprise. He told me that she loves blue, so I added varying shades and hues. I really wanted to keep the reflective quality by using glass components to compliment the stripes. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Word is she loves it. Another happy customer! and a happy designer. It is very important for me to give a client what he/she desires within reason, so I am always delighted when I get positive feedback. Wishing you all a wonderful day rest of the day. If I were to make you a bracelet what colour would you choose?</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I am especially glad that this quote was given for this month's 'Colour This Quote challenge' as we all seem to be hoping for a better day, a warmer day, a sunnier day in order to have a better more productive time of life. We can get so caught up in what the future holds that we don't often just stop and enjoy the NOW!! I am guilty of that myself and this quote really shook me up to really make every day the best day!</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My friends are in Trinidad playing MAS/Carnival- there it is hot with cool costal brezees wafting through the island. It is cold here in fact freezing with the additional compliment of snow. I wish I was there with my friends frolicking half naked in an amazing costume drinking coconut water. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This morning I perked up when doing the school run one parent said oh it's Shrove Tuesday aka Pancake Day today. I love pancakes...always have but never really understood why in the UK [In Trinindad where I was raised it is all about Carnival) they have a special day for it...until this morning. Never in a million years would I have associated Shove Tuesday with Carnival Tuesday. So I simply had to share this revelation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You can feast your eyes on these lovey creative costumes and the yummy looking pancakes...creativity holds no boundaries.Which would you prefer tobe in one these costumes playing Mas or enjoying some yummy pancakes?.................</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Ok.....I am not there to celebrate Carnival and play MAS but I will make some yummy pancakes for my girls and their friends when they return from school this evening. [much rather be playing though!]</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I wish you all a pleasant day................. I am off to buy fresh eggs and fruit.</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">About 2 months or ago I discovered Zendoodle/Zentangle as it is also called and I was mesmerized.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Ofcourse being the creative type I thought to myself 'I must try this', I have since done nearly 100 patterns. It is extremely </span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">addictive</span><span style="color: #38761d;">, without the sugar, fat and caffine. Also completely great for</span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;"> releasing stress</span><span style="color: #38761d;">. I highly recommend trying this. It is such </span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><i>mindless fun</i></span><span style="color: #38761d;">, and if you do not quite get it at first, please try another right away, it gets easier very quickly. The idea is that if you are able to hold a pen and write your name you can do this.</span></span><br />

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
The term 'Zentangle' was created by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts when Maria, a calligraphic artist, found that she was creating designs while her mind entered a meditative state. They designed a small library of 'tangles' and set about transforming Zentangle into a business.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
You can find them on You tube- their body of work is amazing with free tutorials. There are now tonnes of information now on the internet, with kits available and such. But really, just get a journal or small sketch pad and a pen and voila! </div>

Benefits of Zendoodling</span></span></h2>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20.6875px;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"> The main benefits for me with this process is that it is so relaxing. I find it great way to clear my mind and de-stress. I now take my little sketch pad with me everyhere, even in bed ( I find the stessors of the day melting literally away). It is a great way to end the day. Also if I am at the doctor's or dentists office waitng to be seen, in a car, bus or train. Really any situation that I am sitting for any period with my hands free...it's Zendoodle time!!</span></span></h2>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I really wanted to share a photo story of my little studio,bare with me as it is still in progress. It used to be Erin's baby room but she loves sleeping with her big sister, so they share a room now. Then, I kicked my husband/office out and have now claimed it as my own. It is small ( 13 feet by 11 feet) But it is my slice of heaven. I am happily organising it, to make my cards, jewellery, paintings, art journalling and the like. So here are the pics................I hope you enjoy.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">January has been such an emotional roller coaster. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><i><span style="color: #38761d;">The Lows</span></i></u><span style="color: #0b5394;">- There seem to be a spell of heartbreaking events happening to people I care a great deal about at the moment and it really makes me wonder how life can truly deal you a hand not worth playing. I have offered support in any way I could to ease situations and put to task the true meaning of </span><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;"><b>friendship.</b></span><span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">The Highs</span></i></u><span style="color: #0b5394;">- having sold 4 paintings in 2 weeks, had me beyond elation. Especially since I know the buyers and was rest assured it will be enjoyed and appreciated. Also, in the midst of it all working on a commission piece for a new home...such <b><span style="font-size: large;">joy</span></b>. Working on this landscape piece in particular has really enabled me to better cope with the level of stress I was under re-above. Art is so powerful and such a wonderful stress reliever. I would encourage anyone to dabble, doodle, draw , pick up your old sketch pad, any random piece of paper and just mindlessly scribble .....it is the cheapest form of stress relief.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to share a few pics that I also found to help ease me through times when I needed to be uplifted.</span><br />

The calmness of nature keeps me grounded when the world around me seems so chaotic . I hope these pics do the same for you if ever you feel overwhelmed!</i></span></span></h3>

As most of you may know I work from <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">home</span>, it is where most of my <span style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-size: large;">inspiration</span> live</span>, here I create , paint, love and nurture my little family. I am a home buddy and love that I can be home when my kids are small, walk with them to school and pick them up. My creativity fits around the needs of my family, which is great, however, I have been <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">desperate</span> for my own creative space ( so it does not infringe on my family's space aka..dining room table). <br />
So, since my husband now has his office in the city I have decided 'That room is mine'..mine you it is the size of shoe box but it is mine and it feels wonderful to have it!!! So here I am currently <span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">transforming</span> our once baby room , then home office into my studio and I thought I would share a few photos from Pinterest I was browsing.....while day dreaming..on a short break from cleaning and organising.<br />
