Silent Auction - Sing Yay! - SOLD

****************Congratulations Sherrie! ************

Hi Everyone
I thought it would be great fun to try a silent auction for my beautiful mixed media collage painting 'Sing'.

"Sitting in the garden, the sun is shining and the birds are singing, what a lovely way to start the day. This is the inspiration I used to create this multi layered collage painting. The layers and textures provide many hours of entertainment viewing as you see new parts of the painting each time you look at it."

I used lot's of layers including vintage papers and finished with a layer of beeswax to seal and give more texture.

This is a deep edge canvas with dark brown painted sides and sealed all over to protectand ready to hang straight out the box.

Title: Sing

Size: 6" x 6"

Materials: vintage papers, acrylics, charcoal pencil, rubber stamps and beeswax to seal.


To take part all you need to do is email me your bid jackson.niki@gmail.com and the highest bidder will win!

Bidding starts now and goes on until Thursday 31st July 11am Central (New York), 4pm UK.

The winner will be announced via email and here at the blog.

Good luck everyone!

When Will The Rain Stop?

9 Days of Summer by Julia Crossland


Well it's been raining here in the UK for what feels like non stop for about a week or more, when is the sun coming?
I'm no sun worshipper but I do like a nice blue sky, sunny day to sit out in and enjoy.

It is supposed to brighted up tomorrow, I do hope so then we can enjoy a nice BBQ in the evening. Do you know the evenings have been quite cold here still in July can you believe it?!!

Oh well, I hope it doesn't rain for our holiday in Devon, the first week of August, need some r&r!

Enjoy your weekend!
