(Me and my girls at work.  Sorry about the awful photograph, had I have known Phil was going to take my picture I would have dressed up)!!!!

Competition for 2009 Now Closed

4 Mounted prints have been won! 

The question was to look at the picture of 'Out of This World' shown below.  It is a tribal version of an old record album cover.  The first 3 people to email the name of the artist and the album title correctly will win a print of their choice from the tribal or bellydance artwork.  Simple! 

There were infact 4 winners as there was only a minute between third and forth place, and being a big softie I decided to give away 4 prints instead.

The lucky winners (In no particular order!!!!) are -

Tina from Walsall, Patricia from Lancashire, Janice from Lancashire and Stella from Leicestershire

The answer is Rod Stewart, Atlantic Crossing.  Not a favourite album of mine, my brother had it and I loved the artwork even back then!

All girls from the UK, no winners from across the pond so maybe Rod Stewart didn't do such a good job of Atlantic Crossing after all!!!

A big thank you to everyone who took the time to enter and who have brought my artwork.

(If you would like details of when the new 2011 calendar and Christmas cards are ready, let me know and I will add you to the mailing list.  I have new card designs - so take a look.  And, have a look at the great links too).

Inspired by Kathleen Crowley's Fluffy Rufflies and artwork from ??(At current time of writing I can't find artists' name!!! Email me if you have it please.  My bro has his album back)!It is a paper batik with irredescent paint that shimmers subtle pink/purple tones depending on the light.  Too beautiful to photograph accurately.

About Me!

I am a full time mum from The Black Country which is a bostin place to live! I do some supply teaching at a local special needs school.  I have loved bellydance since visiting Egypt in 2000.  In 2004 I went to see the BDSS at the Bloomsbury in London and was totally blown away by the whole show but particularly the tribal girls.  And that was it, I wanted to learn more and more about tribal and have attended workshops and events by some of the best tribal dancers in the world.  You know who they are!  I even dragged my husband and toddler to San Francisco so I could attend afew classes there.  What a brilliant city.  I am a member of Khalgani and perform when I can.  I particularly like performing to rock tracks in my studded bra and denim fringes mixing air guitar with more traditional dance moves!!!

My other passions are ~

~Creating artwork using a variety of mediums, usually acrylics, oils and hard pastels.  I am inspired by many artists (particularly Beryl Cook) and am a self taught artist, although I have had a tutorial by Vic Bearcroft who helped me explore techniques using hard pastels and velour paper.  I used to design the artwork for a band called Cum to Bedlam, which was cartoon based, a style I love to use.  Commissions taken.

~Heavy rock/metal/glam - old stuff like ACDC, Motorhead, Hanoi Rocks, NWOBHM, Janes Addiction, Skunk Anansie, Terrorvision etc.  "Once the metal's in your veins, it never comes out"........You get the general idea!
