Tags and Changes

I've been adding loads more people to my links on the right-hand column - there are so many fabulous artistic blogs out there and I have been very lucky in getting to see such great work being made.

I am yet to find the ideal blog host. I tried LiveJournal last year and it was OK, but not perfect (particularly when it comes to uploading images) and then I switched to Blogger, which again is great for a free program, but anyone who uses it knows that it is not without its problems. The whole idea about moving blogs was to have a serious, trustworthy, professional look to showcase my art and if the blog is playing up and no help is available, then that isn't going to cut it. So I have been doing a trial period on Typepad and so far, I quite like it. I am basically running the two in tandem sort of, just to test things out and will decide at the end of my 30 day free trial whether to keep the Typepad blog or not. Hmmm, will put the link on the right column so you can take a look. Comments most welcome.

For some reason, I seem to be working away, but nothing much to show except these tags that I made for a swap in Altered Guild. They are sanded, acrylic paint layers on light card, gold stamping, sewed images and fibres. I was going for a cool winter colour theme and think I managed it.

I seem to have spent a lot of this weekend sorting out swaps. The biggest being the round robin I am running, which is an Altered Book swap in ANUK called Literatura Infantil. It is based on the books we read as children and I shall be altering a copy of Pollyanna. The round robin doesn't start until January, but I am already very excited about it.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.
