Lose it Like Bec

I'm so proud of my Bec - So far she has lost 25 kilos! and looks amazing for it - and is feeling it too.

Check out her blogpost here - LOSE IT LIKE BEC

She won't put photo's up until she has reached her goal - but that shouldn't be too much longer!! Then you will just say the biggest WOW!

Hold onto your heart

Today I spent All Day, yes ALL DAY painting, collaging and getting messy. I loved it :)
Now I need to draw a little string from her finger to her heart, then add some words.......
I'm thinking "Hold onto your heart"

This thinking comes about from a couple of things - the first being that I recently saw my father let his heart go to someone in China - who wasn't who he thought she was, he was besotted by emails written by an interpreter not the girl in his 'pictures' and thus had his heart hurt :(
I think we must hold onto our hearts, and not give them away too easily, without really knowing who we are tending them to.
I want to be sure that my heart isn't hurt again, and I'm holding onto it really tight at the moment - perhaps a little too tight, as I'm not able to let the love in.
So I guess finding a balance, as we have to do with most things, is the trick.

I hope you enjoyed my painting -



Thanks also goes to Tam from Lifebook for all the different lessons, inspirations and prompts along this my creative journey for 2012.

Belated Stuff

Hello dear readers of my blog,

I've been a little preoccupied lately - sorting things for my upcoming Art Market has taken up a lot of my time. I've been designing labels, packaging and products for the market. This has kept me a little distracted from other things - which is not a bad thing.

I also celebrated my 50th birthday, pics to come!

During my absence I have also been reading a lot about 'moving on from the stuff I need to move on from" - those of you who know me well and have followed my blog, will know exactly what I'm meaning! Things have been up and down in Lorri Land lately. Some days are much better, and some are just as bad as they were soon after my 'revelations' - One step at a time.

As for my art, I have been doing some tangling - which I absolutely love!! I've created a monster in a friend KAZ - now on flickr as 'Kaztangle" - LOVE HER NAME!

Ustream has been put aside a little as I focus on other things, but I still catch my lovely streaming friends on twitter, and try to check into some streams. I must say, I'm missing all the lovely ladies there, so will be back up and streaming soon!

Here's a few things I have worked on lately :

(Blogged playing up with photo uploads.. will try again soon!)

I WON!!

I'm so excited, today I found out that I had won the Awesome "Tangled" Cup/Saucer from the very generous Neil Burley from Perfectly4med

I LOVE it - check out Neil's blog for some amazing inspiration and tangle ideas too!
