This week, I'm honoured to be the guest artist at Sunday Postcard Art! The theme I chose was "music", and I hope everyone enjoys creating something music related. Here is the card I created. The words are a couple of lines from the beautiful song "Breathless" by Corinne Bailey Rae.
The theme at Sunday Postcard Art this week is "crackle". When I think of the crackle pattern, I think of old china - very fragile. This beauty's heart is fragile. I used a paper napkin with a crackle pattern to make the heart, and then a few layers of acrylic.
Next week, I'm thrilled to be the guest artist for Sunday Postcard Art! The theme I chose is "music" - I can't wait to see what everyone creates!
My latest card for the ARTchix Studio Yahoo Group lottery was based on a quote from WB Yeats: "The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time". The theme of the lottery was "innocence" and I thought this quote fit the bill.
The theme at Sunday Postcard Art is Edgar Allen Poe.
I must confess that I'm cheating a bit - if some of you think this card looks a bit familiar it's because I made it ages ago for a mail art trade. However, it hasn't been seen on my blog, and I'm really pressed for time this weekend, so hopefully a little "cheating" is better than not playing!
ARTchix Studio is having another fun swap - blue "moo" cards! "Moos" are little teeny cards, approximately 1" x 3". They're inspired by a printing company called "Moo", and they are based on their "mini cards". I have seen these printed up and they do a great job - the cool thing is they will make them all the same, or all different, all for the same price. Visit their website to check them out.
Here are the ones I made for this fun swap:

This week, Helga challenged us to make a collage from magazine images, and jazz it up using some of the circles and dots patterns we made last week - fun! Here's what I came up with...
You can see the stenciled and filled in white circles on the woman's cheeks, the end of my pen dipped in ink on the pear, and the bottom of a paint bottle dipped in ink and then filled with red acrylic on the background. Thanks to Helga for another fun challenge.
This week's theme for Sunday Postcard Art is Halloween. Here's my entry:
Made this birthday card with a lovely new image from ARTchix studio.
This week, Helga challenged us to make a grid and fill it with different dots and circles. The idea was to play around with pattern without too much thinking.
I started by painting a rough grid using black gesso. Then I filled in each rectangle with a different colour of acrylic paint.
