9/11 Art Online

Mindful of the date, I've been looking at all the different artwork online commemorating 9/11. One child's work seems to have an especially moving and profound message at:

Fun with a New App

The MagicPrints Android App is a wonderful thing...and perfect for whiling away more waiting time than I'd have thought possible.

Currently I'm enjoying using it to make mandalas like this one.

But I'm wondering which apps would you use to do this?

Poppies & The Lure of Etsy...

Etsy, oh, Etsy...My shop has been in progress (with designs ready on the computer) for quite a few days now... But the site is sooo beautiful... (That techy word "sticky" doesn't do it justice, though it's definitely a place to stick around).

Anyway, please enjoy the fruits of my latest distraction there, and the talents of all these poppy-makers... (including their wonderful product shots, grouped below, but needing a browse in their own right)... at:

Update: That link is no longer available. But here's another expression of my love affair with poppies!

A Get Well Soon Card For Dogs...

Update October 2016: Here (above) is a long-overdue update to this post...a get well soon card for dogs available to buy, and featuring a cute golden labrador puppy amongst daffodils. (You can still personalise the text as much as you want and send it to humans too, though).

Original post from 2011 is below.



One of the cutest dogs I know had to have an operation yesterday. And yet I couldn't find a "get well soon" card specifically for dogs anywhere. So I created this e-card design (which you could probably send to any poorly dog-lover, too, if you wanted).
