Please Welcome Guest Artist Jill Geraghty-Groves!

Please join me in extending a great big inky welcome to our 2nd Mystery Guest Artist, Jill Geraghty-Groves!!

Jill Geraghty-Groves is a paper crafter and mixed media artist extraordinaire from Queesnsland, Australia.

Jill is currently on the design teams for Darkroom Door, and Tarisota Collections, and is one half of the awesome Gradum Gypsies - bringing you gorgeous handmade pendants and other bits and bobs through their Etsy store.

Jill has long been one of my all time favourite creative people and I am so excited to have her here as a guest artist for the Gothic Arch Challenge so I can share her awesomeness with you all!

Jill will be launching not one but TWO new Gothic Arch challenge themes today for our Inkurable Stampers 2010 Gothic Arch Challenge!

But first, let's have a chat with Jill:

1. Have you ever made a Gothic Arch before?

Never! But they are a hoot to make! I have absolutely no idea what I will do with them though.... more stuff to get rid of when I die I guess LOLOL!!!

2. When stamping, do you prefer red rubber stamps, or clear stamps? Why?

Definitely red rubber stamps. Unmounted preferable. I prefer them because they seem to get the clearest crispest image!

3. What is your favourite stamp in your collection?

My very fave is my Paper Artsy freaky guy with the button eyes. Just appeals to my darker side I guess. (Stay tuned to see him in one of Jill's arches!).

4. How often do you use stamps in your projects?

I use stamps in most of my projects! Love Love Love them!

5. What is your favourite stamping / inking technique?

I love using stamps straight onto fabric.

Thanks for sharing Jill! 

You may remember Jill's "Bad Barbie" Nicho that we featured here on the blog back in October 2008 (OMG I can't believe it was that long ago!). Or you may have seen her gorgeous work over at the Darkroom Door blog or in the Tarisota Gallery. Whether you're a fan of Jill's dark side, or her vintage pretties side, you will not be disappointed with today's Gothic Arches!

Don't go away! Jill's first arch will be revealed shortly!

It's always interesting to read about others' favourite stamps/techniques/mediums to work with, without looking like a stalker LOL, so thanks for the interview :)
