Well my friends since appearing on Create and Craft TV with the CoLiDo Compact 3D printer I have been working on various experiments and was saving today’s post for a couple of weeks time but liked it so much thought that I couldn’t hold it back.
Want to see … ?
Been tinkering with a little something over the last few days.
Bit by bit it has come together and became something quite lovely.
Today’s post concludes the trio of canvases that I created with the same materials.
It’s difficult to say for sure but I think this might just be my favourite.
Thankfully another of the canvas creations dried in time for me to share it with you this evening.
This one uses the same materials as yesterday’s ‘Mountains Of Venus’ but I ended up with a very different feel.Read More »
I’ve been having a little play with some (lots) of paints and inks over the last few evenings as a sort of way to unwind from thinking about all of things that I’ve been trying to achieve.
I’m very pleased with the results and I think that when you find out some of the techniques, you may be a little surprised…
Ever think that you are going a little ga-ga?
I know I do. This is what has inspired today’s Artist Trading Card.
Well, you’ll not believe it but I have managed to finish something AND write a blog post about it – just.
For this project I decided to have a fiddle with a set of drawers.
Would you believe that this make started out with something that you would normally have thrown out?
Well, it did! Pull up a chair and I shall explain…
This Artist Trading Card creation features an almost monotone colour choice but conversely is a celebration of the many aspects of life, and a reminder that we should all be out there living it.
Hello again :)
Well, last night I promised you that I would stop by and show you another version of the bauble that I posted about yesterday – so here I am and here it is.
Today I finished off a couple more Christmas tree decorations using paper mache bauble blanks.
They both used the same papers/colours and I began them each in the same way also. Today I will share the beginning steps and the first bauble.
Sadly this post is not a tribute to the 80’s pop group that brought us classics such as Agadoo. It is instead a lovely canvas art project that I recently completed.
It’s been a while since I last blogged but I certainly haven’t been idol. I’ve been trying out lots of new things and trying to work in some techniques that I already enjoy.
I am therefore very pleased to be able to bring you another Monday Mash Up this week. This time it is a bit of home decor that starts out with a small artist’s canvas and some cheap wrapping paper.
My collection of Tim Holtz Distress Inkpads has grown a fair bit over the last 12 months and until recently they have been stored in a plastic box which I have to wrench out from under other boxes in order to get to them.
After a recent craft stash avalanche, whilst trying to get to the inkpads, I thought that I would have a try at making some storage for these so that I can access them at anytime without causing a disaster each time.
