A bit of this and a bit of that .....

'Right up your Street' and 'How does your garden grow?' stamps by Dylusions
Paints and inks by Dylusions

Lots been going on creatively round here but nothing that I can share at the moment........watch this space!! But there are a few bits and bobs that I have to share. I created the tag above after I was inspired by the lovely Sue Roddis (credit where credit's due and all that...) after she made a journal page with birdhouses. I really loved it so I just had to have a go myself :-)  And do you remember the song by They might be Giants?  It went something like this ......

'Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you?
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul'

Lalalalala I'll be singing this all night now :-)   I used to love that song!

And here's another tag, just 'cos I love tags, and this is a mixture of Doolally Doris and Ruby rainbow:

    Aaargh - now you've got me singing it too!! The tune came into my head as soon as I read the words on your tag, then scrolled down and saw your blog about the lyrics. Love the tag - the mix of colours is great. Actually love all the tags.
    Enjoy the Easter holidays - hope this gorgeous weather holds for a while.

    Kate Crane you are a artistic rock-n-roll superstar!!! Oh how I adore you and your style. I have personally always wanted my artwork to get to a point where someone could look at it and say "that's clearly Shannon's work." You have that in spades, I could pick your work out of any line up, and yet you always bring something fresh and new to every piece. It never gets tiresome or boring. I am definitely a groupie of the Kate Crane art world. I see you have classes coming up at "Art from the Heart." Is there ever an occasion where I can buy the on-line version??
