I find violin music to be very comforting.

To me, the most artistic part of the violin - the scroll.

Front entrance to an old bank in Tapanui. Built in 1919, previously operated as a Bank of New Zealand but has served as a family home for many years.

Made for a quinceanera and modeled after a cake on a brides magazine. The Birthday girl looked stunning!

The first inspiration of this card comes from Lin. I want to creat a sky with the same color scheme she used in her gorgeous fall leaves card. Then I remember Lisa did a card which was inspired by the picture she took in her journal. She did the sky with direct on paper method. I used watercolor to paint the sky instead. The more I try watercolor, the more I like it. Such a fun way to creat background. Same as the Cuttlebug. Who could resist the result it got.

Thank for looking!:)

There is probably a technical term for these scrolls above the windows on the Ashton Court Mansion. I don't know what it is but I like them.

New Crib Available. Five choices for crib beddings.

Here is one of Battersea's new toys on route 344, running between Clapham Junction and Liverpool Street. The route itself is very interesting and these new buses really suit it.

The bus driver forgot to change the destination before leaving the stand, so had to do it 'on the go', completing the task just before leaving the first stop.

There is also a new post out on my blog:

Here are two cards I created using the Tree Scroll stamp. Other stamps I used in the green & black card were Thoughtful Messages (flowers) and in the other card I used Circular Designs (flowers) and Cute Letters (bird).

You can see detailed pics of both cards here: cherryhilldesign.blogspot.com/2008/06/scroll-tree.html

Sumi-e ink on rice paper. A rolled up scroll found tucked away into a corner of my studio. I thought to throw it but tried a photo first. It's pretty abstract. I guess you can make anything you want out of it.

A work in progress. A scroll. Painted on tea bags. The handles on the scroll are made from the cardboard of a match box. I like the interactive element.
