Tweedledum & Tweedledee
For The Three Muses Pairs this week, finally I got to create again! Another in my series of Giant Jigsaw pieces… using an image from Ten Two Studios (Alice collage set), lots of layers of paint, my handcarved stamp and doodlings. It also fits with Theme Thursday’s Borders, edged in gold and black.

Faces…
A couple of weeks ago I made this wacky jewellery set for The Seventh Wave Gallery to display to show some Day of the Dead artwork. I see that Theme Thursday’s challenge this week is “Faces” and would like to share them with you here as my entry/take on the theme: It comprises a bracelet, a pair of earrings and a
