Too Quiet!

Gosh, it's been quiet here for a couple of days so I thought I'd break the silence and put on the three I did today. Actually, the first one is an A4 that I started yesterday, but ran out of time as it got a tad fiddly to do and I didn't want to rush it, proving that I DO have some patience sometimes! :P

Little Blue Faeries

Then I did a landscape (just for a change)

Sundown

Afterwhich I fancied staying with the hot colours for another dragon painting.

Dragon's Warning

The last two are A5s.

Beautiful pics, Maria :art: Now how am I supposed to pick my favourite when you do three so good? :thumbup;

I know I've been quite quiet on the uploads front, but my batteries died again :wacko: We bought one lot from a shop that was closing down and the things don't work :weep:

Stripes on the long edge of the iron....bright red, orange yellow and white. Place the red edge as your top edge and iron across the card. Wipe the iron clean and repeat to cover the rest of the top of the card if you have any gaps. The secret is to use LOTS of wax so that it all runs together.

Hi M - love the pics, the hot sunset is just what we need at the mo.....

The skies almost look like hot air - very clever and very effective...

'fraid this computer is on it's last legs - kept crashing - and I got so fed up retyping everything - I gave up - just doing little and often now. K has debugged it so might be a bit more communicative from now - who knows....


Have a lovely Easter

Love x :wave:

All three are beautiful. I love the faeries, but the colours on the other two are breathtaking. B) :mw: :mwq:

:o I'm Gobsmacked Maria! :o

I can't even begin to get my head around how you achieved those rocks in the 3rd one...

The subtle stripes and detailling are just fan-bloomin-tastic.

Just 'played' Colin....just played! This now has an opening bid from the same person who bought 'Dragon's Delight', so I'm pretty pleased about that!
