Hello Bloggers, first up is the latest tag in Tim Holtz' "12 Tags of 2013" on which he uses a chalkboard technique.  OMG! there's only one tag left this year!!

 I had to give this technique a go and here's my chalk board tag. ...  Let me know what you think!







I'm continuing to explore creating art with coloured pencils and participating in Colored Pencil Magazine's monthly art challenge (http://coloredpencilmag.com/contest/monthly-art-challenge).

This was my submission for the Oct-13 challenge - glass and cellophane are very tricky subjects.....

The November challenge was a grey toned portrait and I created a trilogy of interpretations.....

Grey Girl - Fantasy

Grey Girl - Blue Mood 

Grey Girl - Pretty in Pink

I've also been playing around with water colours, and joined a group "Paint my Photo - where artists and photographers meet".  They host a monthly challenge theme whereby you use one or more of the group's photos as reference.  November's focus is "WHITE Christmas".  Here's my piece using coloured pencil and water colour paints on grey paper ...

Well, starting to get in a Christmas spirit, and the craft room awaits.  Bye for now.

Happy crafting,
Terry
