MMATC Group Rainbow Accordion Book: ORANGE
This is my Artist Trading Card for the Orange page of the Rainbow Accordion Book Project for MMATC (Mixed Media Artist Trading Cards) a Yahoo! group of artists based in the UK. The idea is that every month participating artists each make a card based on one colour of the rainbow and posts it to one of the other participants. Once we all have a card for each of the 7 colours of the rainbow, we each make up the cards we’ve received into an accordion book. I now have 2 beautiful cards, Red from Beth Powers and Orange from Alison Richards. You can see them in recent blogs – just search for MMATC. Continue reading

The journal-writing software that can tell you when you have a medical condition
I’ve spent most of my time this week fusing my two web sites into one. The logic being, why am I paying for two web sites that nobody ever visits, instead of just one? So I’m raising a glass (please join me!) to the launch of the all singing, all dancing, Ann Isik Arts!
To accord with my various interests and activities as artist, writer, walker, singer, vegetarian, animal lover, bla, bla …I’ve added some pages for reviews; of books, software, web sites and exhibitions and my debut review is one of a series I’m going to write, about Life Journal journalling software. I’ve been using this software for over 5 years now and on close to a daily basis. Continue reading
Walking on Lindisfarne
I posted a picture last Sunday of this fossil I came across on Lindisfarne or Holy Island as it is also known, which lies in the North Sea just off the coast of Northumberland. I took the picture during my one week stay, the week before Easter last year (2011). Continue reading
