Playing with Texture Paste.

Hello All,

Played with texture paste and stencils today. Another messy afternoon!


It was just a bit of experimentation, not actually anything recognisable. Perhaps

it's time to go back to an actual subject.......


But what? A bit muse-less at present, but I do like the effect.

Weekend......so time to paint some more :)

Have a good evening......P.

Purples and Pinks

Hello All,

Its all been purples and pinks for a couple of days now, wonder what

that signifies?


This is a torn paper collage background, now waiting for further development.

I can't see what to make of it yet, will come back to it.

While things are drying, small projects fill the time......


Die cutting gives instant results, and is a great way of playing with colour.

This came out a bit disjointed but hey....

Back soon, P.

Doodles White on Black....

Hello All,

Following yesterday's happy doodling, I felt like doing a bit more.

This time a slight variation..... I chose Lin Brown stamps as a base, solid

shapes stamped in black Archival ink, and doodled with a white pen.


I only have one size of white pen, so it is more difficult to get much variation

in tonal value, but it is ok as a design.....looks a bit like a wood cut?


I filled in the negative background spaces to make the shapes stand out.

Might develop this with colour perhaps.

Thanks for looking, P.

A Bit of ZIA......

Hi All,

Spent an hour or so this morning doodling a bit of ZIA (Zentangle Inspired

Art).


Not wanting to overstress my cold-fuddled brain, I made the outline drawing

using a JOFY stencil from PaperArtsy, and filled in the outlines with Zentangle

patterns, adding extra bits here and there. This works really well with any stencil

with blank open areas.

Pleasing result :)

And relaxing.......have a go.


Bye for now, P.

Three Little Soppy Cards

Good Evening,

After a short rest at the end of my blogging marathon it is now time

to get back to it :)

Starting gently with three mini cards for Valentines Day.


I have actually been throwing paint around again today, but not produced

anything that I would wish to share here! So these rather unimaginative but

sweet cards were post paint therapy.

Now I just have to find three "Valentines" to give them to........probably not!

Will get back into the creative swing soon....

Bye for now, P.
