Welcome to the Madness

This is a glimpse into my world.
Here the only limit to creativity is my imagination. Scrapbookers live for ever, through the legacy of their work. Live for today, scrapbook for tomorrow.
Altered Art is an extension of ones own mind, it reveals the complexities of the mind and all the sub-consciousness' that exist, proving without a doubt, I am one warped individual.

New Art Work












Some of the completed projects so far

My Dragon





Finally finished the sculptured fabric dragon I had started over 10 years ago then burried in a box as I had made a mistake on one of his leg attachments and couldn't motivate myself to finish him. He has turned out pretty good and with all the added bits he has now found a home with a dear friend Lisamaree Benton and her family. Funny how you can finish something when it suddenly has a home that it needs to be at.

More Mini Canvas'





Finally completed the last of the mini canvas' of the family. Across the top Son Malcolm, Son n Law's Timothy and Ryan, bottom row daughter n law Jodie and daughters Jessica and Marcella. These go with the ones below of all the grandchildren.

New Improved 2010


Today I decided I needed to improve my look and had a play and came up with some looks that I am happy with.

I even tried the new look with my glasses on.








I think it will pass for the moment.

Side by Side


These both look really good side by side.

Second Canvas


I am on a roll now and have managed to make another canvas for second grand daughter Angela along the same lines as the first.

Creative Juices Flowing Again!


After spending the afternoon at Bucklands Beach with Kathleen and her kids, I came home and felt the desire to create. There is always something therapeutic, about spending time under the sun, playing in the surf and walking in the sand that never fails to clear the mind and rejuvenate the soul, to inspire me to get creative again. So here is my latest creation, of which I am very proud of, as its just gorgeous, even if I do say so myself.
Now I am inspired to do one for each of the other six grandchildren and even considering doing their parents as well, just to start the new year off with a bang. Though the parents might get done on one canvas rather than 6 individual ones, lets see how long I can last making these.

Can't believe it's been so long since last post

Finally after too long I managed to get motivated to finish my fabric sculptured Dragon. He has turned out not too bad after all and yes this one is definitely a he, as of yet un-named.

Any ideas for name?

Easter weekend pages. After getting some new pictures from Jodie I set to making new pages of my aussie additions.
Easter weekend is always hard to figure out what I want to achieve as the days and nights seem to blur into one.
Thank Goodness for new photo's of the Grandchildren.

My finished version of the NZ Scrapbook page, thought the various pictures of the family posing with Santa were perfect for this design.
