How to Create a Wizard's Workshop

September 19, 2011
This may not be a 'how-to' with instructions but it visually shows how my latest work 'A Wizard's Best Friend' came to be, giving you an insight into my process of working when creating a photo mixed media digital artwork.

Treasure Hunting

February 16, 2011
No, not the kind of treasure hunt that requires a map and a shovel...

There is a very addictive feature of Etsy called the 'Treasury'. I've been curating treasuries for a while now but lately I seem to have gotten into the swing of things and now I cant stop! 

I love collecting and arranging themed features of all my favorite things from the huge variety of talented artisans that sell their work on Etsy. Each treasury tells a little story and seeing as my head is full of picture stories, the tr...
