    Thanks Theresa! I enjoy doing "scribbly" pieces! Oil pastels, because they are basically crayons, lend themselves to this technique. At least for me. I rarely blend them.

    I just came across your blog and I really like it. It's all very creative and inspirational.
    I recently started up an art and crafts blog myself. I haven't had time to post much on it yet, just some old work.
    Please have a look and let me know what you think :)
