This post is a bit of a jumble. I've had a busy weekend making jewellery and decorating paper, as well as baby sitting one of my delightful grand daughters. The weekend goes way too fast, it's almost over here in Oz.
The necklace above has gone to Touchstone gallery in Olinda today. It has a vintage look to it. I love the colour and apparently it's very popular at present. I'm making a similar one to add to my Etsy site later in the week.
The decorated papers are for a journal I'm making to sell on my Etsy site. It will have all decorated pages and some of my artwork scattered through out. There will be no blank white paper in this one, it will be all ready to go to add images, words, artwork, whatever. I hope to have that finished by next weekend.
This is a page in my journal that I worked on, driving to and from work, while sitting in traffic, waiting for the lights to change. It's amazing how much you can do just doodling and there's no road rage, I arrive at my destination much calmer and relaxed,
quite often covered in marker ink, but hey who cares, that's art.
Finally, when I was rummaging around in one of my drawers of trims, I noticed all of these colour combinations and textures and took shots, I love the eclectic mix.

What a fantastic way to pass the time while waiting in traffic and such a gorgeous drawing too. We don't have much traffic congestion where I live so I wouldn't have the time to sketch but if I did I can certainly see how this would ease the road rage.
Lovely decorated papers and necklace too, the colours are divine!
Amazing that you accomplish so much in a weekend. I love the necklace and papers - I want to touch everything!! Beautiful work as always.
Pretty amazing doodle, Ro. And your necklace is just spectacular!
OMG- you did that in the traffic - amazing.
Cant wait to see the journal.
it will be stunning. I know.
xox
Love the colours in the necklace Ro, yes that colour is very popular...but then so it should be, it's very calming!
How clever of you to doodle while sitting in traffic! Do you ever want to pull over just to "finish this bit"??? lol
The journal is going to be well treasured I'm sure wherever it ends up! Gorgeous.

I love your new necklace Ro, blue is my favourite colour.
Great new necklace , Ro, I love all those wonderful little pieces you mange to find, you must spend your life in antique markets to find so many gorgeous things, amazing!!!
Your papers are terrific too, all that talent in one pair of hands, it's just not fair, LOL
Wonderful results!
Can't believe you managed to produce that amidst the traffic. Great post Ro.
I can see why the necklace is so popular already - it is just amazing, love the pale blue color.
I always carry a project in my car for those traffic delays, both expected and unexpected. Much better to arrive relaxed and covered in ink than all stressed out for the day.
I am so glad I discovered your blog today. There are so many things about it I love so far, your banner, your jewelry, your papers and your photographs. What a truly creative person you are!

I love those papers!
The journal side is really lovely but how on earth did you manage to do this while in traffic!??? I would probably forget the traffic lights and wake up to the hoots of impatient drivers ;-)
Those papers are soooo lovely! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love how this blogland connects us all over the world.
Your necklace is marvellous, blue is my absolutely favorite color.
Love the decorated papers too.
All pieces are truly unusual!
