Marie Antoinette Hamlet Toy Theatre/Theater Scene

More scenes from my Marie Antoinette toy theatre/theater.

Marie had a specially prepared Hamlet where she could go out into the garden and meet with her very own special peasants.








I've got more scenes to come, her cow, a maid milking a cow, and a lamb. So stay tuned to see more shortly.

Art Journaling: Session 16 - Go and Treat Yourself

Go and treat yourself to something or someplace special and journal it.


This week's journal page is art journalling some treat or special pampering that you have or have just had.

My girlfriends had a girl's night out a couple of weeks ago, it was a pampering night, but somehow I had forgotten to schedule that into my diary; so instead of missing out I decided to go and book some time at a spa (they had a special on, so I was in for the treat).

Honey Melt Ritual retreat and here is my take on journalling that experience (as you may be able to tell Winnie the Pooh also featured ... no surprises there when I've just finished a Winnie the Pooh Montage with my step daughter.)

Art Journaling: Session 15 - Proverb or Poem

Sorry for not posting last week but my time was spent at the SENZ show in Auckland; so I am making up by posting two journal entries this week.

Pick a poem or proverb and write it out then illustrate with pictures (cut out or hand drawn). I have used Tombow pens. Use your pens to make fancy doodles and borders.

Winnie the Pooh Loves Emma!

Yes, it's true Winnie the Pooh has finally fallen in love with Emma, my stepdaughter.
Emma is turning 21, and she still adores Winnie. So to celebrate her occasion, I got a large board and covered it with ripped up pages from a Winnie the Pooh book I had bought second hand, cut out images of her as a child, to be included in with the stories; and then finally added flowers and what nots, and put in other photos of her nestled within the flowers.







Products used on this are Jolee's Boutique Winnie the Pooh stickers, Prima flowers, Kaiser Fusion Felt flower borders, Winnie the Pooh embroidered motifs, and Cricut diecut Winnie the Pooh shapes.

Art Journalling: Session 14 - Let's do Coffee

This week go and check out your pantry and see what sort of coffees you have in stock.
Then write down on sheets of handmade paper the descriptions of that coffee. I bet next time you have a coffee you are going to appreciate it that little bit more.

What's on my menu: Vienna Velvet, Colombian Smooth, Gravity Cruise Control (doesn't sound that exciting that one), and After Dinner Mint Coffee.

I've also added Jolee type stickers to add that little 3 dimensional boost to my page.

Prepare your page with backgrounds that relate to the colour of coffee, add any vintage images you may have, and on the other side use coffee stain to colour that side of your paper. Then add your menu (strips of handmade paper with written descriptions of the coffee).

Vienna Velvet:
Immerse yourself in cream luxury with a cinnamon twist.

Colombian Smooth:
This South American coffee is smooth, creamy and slightly sweet with a declisous chocolate finish. Hmm.

Gravity Cruise Control:
Take a load off, sit back and enjoy the ride. Great for lazy weekends. Yeah that sound's like me.

After Dinner Mint Coffee:
After you have enjoyed a great meal, enjoy a great coffee. One that will lift you up, with peppermint, dark chocolate and vanilla cream flavor. After all, the end of the meal is usually just the start of the evening.

So which one will you have?
