A 5-minute page in my flimsy journal, using stickers, collage, acrylic paint and gesso. Perhaps not much to look at, but very therapeutic creating it!

Felting
Having created some felting pictures using kits, I decided to have a go creating my own picture, a mountain scene. It is not quite how I pictured it, but as a first attempt I am not dissatisfied with it. Practise makes perfect!

Highland Cattle
I've been doing some more felting, using another Artfelt kit. It's not perfect, but I'm quite pleased with it.

Found!
I haven't disappeared, I just got distracted by my garden and family tree!
Here's a page from my flimsy journal - I used acrylic paints & pens, collage and rub-ons, and pencils for the drawing.

Index Card A Day
During June & July Index Card A Day (ICAD) has been running again, the brainchild of Tammy at Daisy Yellow (https://daisyyellowart.com). This is my fourth year of taking part. So, rather belatedly, here are my index cards.

Puffins
During lock-down, my sister had a week's holiday. To try to make it special for her we decided to try a new project and so we both bought a felting kit (from Artfelt by Andrea Coleman) to do together virtually. I had tried needle felting before but not wet felting and I really enjoyed making this. It's about 45 x 25 cms.

Windows
During lock-down, instead of visiting galleries I have been visiting online exhibitions. It's not the same, but it does provide a window into art.
Here is a page from my flimsy art journal.

Four Abstracts
I am continuing with the course 'Soulful Abstracts' by Laly Mille, and this is my next set. Now complete, I think need to flatten the paper !

After the Storm
This is another picture using soft pastels. I had a little help this time as I followed a project in Jeremy Ford's book, 'Painting Pastel Landscapes'. I am very pleased with the result. I can imagine walking along that path in the fells...

Doodles
This page was created using oil pastels on an acrylic paint background. Essentially, I was just doodling with the pastels and this is what I ended up with.

Backgrounds
I've been having fun creating backgrounds and papers for collage material using India Ink, crayons and acrylic inks.

Experimenting
What is an art journal for, if not for experimenting? I thought I would try out a colour combination that I wouldn't normally use. Add a bit of mark-making with a brush, and a Stabilo All pencil and this is what I got.
