Introducing Clare with paint in her hair

Hi everyone I am Clare, mostly know as Gotpaintinmyhair. If I am a member of it I will always be under this name. I am almost 35 and live in West Yorkshire with my fellah and 4 rescue kitties that are now almost 7 years old. I found them abandoned by their mother and starving, they were about 4 days old then. I am the property manager for my Mum's factory and land, sounds glamorous but it really isn't! I also run her caravan and camping club certified campsite.

Art wise I am very much a mixed media assemblage sort of person, though I don't get time to do as much for me as I would like. I am one of the oldest serving design team member's for IndigoBlu stamps and will soon have a stamp line of my own coming out with them. I make samples for them for craft shows and Create & Craft TV. For the past week I have been up to my eyeballs in samples for CHA that I can't show yet until they have been made public.

I don't really have much art to show right now but here are a couple of older things.



Left is after altering right one is before

    Welcome aboard "Clare with paint in her hair" - what a great nickname! :) Mine would have to be something like "Sarah, her drawings might scare ya" :D

    That's an amazing portfolio of work, we're very pleased to have you join us

    (and is that moustache tree a stamp? I have a mozzy obsessed friend who would love that for her Christmas cards next year!)

      I know what you mean which is why I'm doing one day this visit. Everything else I already do so i don't see the point of doing something that's not new to me. I do like Dina though.

    Your work is absolutely fantastic, Clare. I particularly like the hanging tree painting with the two pieces of wood, etc, as a structural part of the hanging. You really are inventive.
    As for not having as much time as you would like for craft/art, I'm retired but I still find it difficult to fit an hour or so in during a day, and then not every day.
    Good luck with your new stamp line. Jez
