What with Blogger playing me up and also being maaaaaaaad busy with 'secret stuff' for publishing and also new stamp designs etc, my blog has been a bit lonely.
awwwwwwwww
Anyway, today it's time for a post.
Talking of magazines, I had a big big suprise when I discovered that I had a couple of items using Third Coast stamps in the latest Stampers Sampler. These pieces were sent in 5 or 6 years ago!!! So never give up hope of seeing your items you send overseas published. The images I have of them are not good. It was back in the day when clarity of a photo didn't seem that important to me it seems!! haha! So thankyou to Stampington for getting the focus right on these two.
This card I remember being really pleased with myself for doing lol...I'd stamped on purple acetate for the first time and flipped it over to create a mirror image.
This is an altered tobacco tin. The edge was all thick gold utee I think (?) with a really small perfectly formed shell in the centre of the opening.
But even though time has passed on these two, I still like them and its not often I can say that about pieces of mine that are 5+ years old :0) (ideas and techniques move so quickly don't they).
Another post tomorrow. Playing catch up :0)

Well, that's a nice, unexpected surprise. Congrats!
Wow, these are beautiful pieces. Congratulations! xx
WOW Jo they're fantastic, I've not seen either of them before and I love both. The colours on the first are beautiful and the purple acetate and reverse image works brilliantly for the second. Congratulations on more published art work:0) xxx
These two pieces are gorgeous and well done on getting them published, at last! xx
What a great surprise, Jo!
They might be 5 years old but they still look amazing now - Congrats on being published!
It was great to see your work when I opened my new copy of Stampers Sampler last night. Well done. I love this image andI really like the idea of mirroring on the acetate - must give that a try!

I got my copy last week and did mean to email you, but life happened. Congratulations - fancy them keeping them all this time. Just shows how many submissions they must get. They are lovely, by the way.
Congrats Jo that's a big surprise.
I love the images. Beautiful

These are fab Jo especially as you made them so long ago - I don't like things I made a while ago.
Well done on getting published again xx
well, about time!!
Oh my gosh - these are just the biz - absolutely, totally, gorgeous. I have just used that stamp this past week. It's my favourite stamp out of the set.
I just love the tin - and the card is just to clever - mesmorising
I am thrilled you were published. Sandly I don't get that magazine - wish I had.
I love your work in this months Craft Stamper too - your 'take' on cards is just so original
Great stuff Jo.
I love that stamp & haven't seen it in ages. A blast from the past!
She is gorgeous :)
Many Congratulations 5 or 6 years eh? That must have been a real surprise!
Can't wait to pick up CS tomorrow.
Have a great weekend..xx
Great design never ages does it.
Good that Stampington brings such things out of their moth balls.
Congrats and have a super weekend!
Morning Jo. Love these, they are gorgeous. I got my magazine last week and was reading it in the bath last night! Loved seeing your ART. S xx
