    Actually I really like the second one. It's very pleasing, in terms of composition and color!

    well thanks. I like the colours as well :-) I lost sight of the fact that I was going for a 3D illusion (sort of) and just ended up coloring in.

    hey i love both but as you know i am partial to scribbling. i like the scribbling.....

    It is good to see feedback which questions the assessment I have made of my own work :-) I'm glad you like it. And since my journal is now all about being reckless and wild... well anything and everything should be done to it without too much self criticism.

    Hi Claire - I have been having a look through your work and I like these recent pieces with the collage fabric and leaves - you asked me about textiles/paintings in a sketch book - one thing you could try is interpreting a section of one of your paintings by making a small paper frame and choosing a section of a painting and then enlarge it and try it in different textile media, fabric collage, embroidery stitches, weaving yarns in similar colours. I hope that is helpful.

    Thanks Mandy, I really appreciate your feedback. I have been sticking fabric onto my paintings, so it makes sense to turn the tables and turn some paintings into fabric :-) I'm keen to turn some drawings into quilts too.

    Wreck away. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

    Thanks Shula. I can tell you one thing... wreck or not, it has become addictive to work in my journal again.
