Blue Blooms.....

Good evening All,

Busy week doing all sorts of things, some not blogworthy, some for future

blogging on PaperArtsy.

Managed to snatch an hour this afternoon though.....

To play with Infusions, stencils and texture paste, and a few flowers from Heartfelt

Creations.

Good combination of blue green and terracotta red is a bit different for me. And the

whole thing looks totally different on a green coloured background.

Funny isn't it....

Thank you for calling by, P.

A Tale of Two Hedgehogs.......

Hello All,

On the PaperArtsy blog tonight you will find a doodle-stitched tryptich:

"A Tale of Two Hedgehogs".

It's all to do with stencil, stamp and stitch.....

If you want to know what and how, take a look HERE.

I love a happy ending :)

Bye for now, P.

A Little Diversion.....

Hi All,

I'm always willing to dip my toe into new waters and try something

different. If I see something intriguing I sometimes get a couple of

things, just enough to try.

So this is my first try at parchment crafting (one of the very few things I haven't

done before). It's not very good if you look too closely! And I kind of threw everything

at it in one go. I used a couple of Barbara Gray's Groovi plates: they make marking the

parchment much more doable for brand new beginners like me.

It's quite relaxing .....or it will be if I can relax :)

And it's clean, always an advantage in my book.

And not very expensive....yay.

Call back soon, P.

The Same But Different......

Good Evening,

Following on from the abstract art on my previous post, I still had

the stamps, dies and Infusions on the desk, so I had another play.

I love how this turned out :). I have to give credit here: I happened upon a blog

with art work that makes me go weak at the knees it's SO beautiful:  art-dorota.blogspot.com.

I can only aspire to such skill, but it inspired me to try my own style and experiment.

It's all about layering, pretty washes of colour and white space.

I took my colours from the spontaneous background of the Infusions powder, and used

it again to watercolour the flowers.

Think I will be trying more of these........

And I love trying different background mounts, it changes the look of the whole thing.

Bye for now, P.

Gone a Bit Abstract.........

Good evening!

This afternoon I went a bit abstract for a change

I wanted to experiment a bit with shapes and tried not to make it look like anything

in particular. For someone who likes her art more representational , this is really difficult!

I chose colours that I don't use (and don't really like) too: so was right out of my

comfort zone.

And a funny shape.....too long to fit it all in one photograph.

So a bit strange all round really.

It includes Frescos, Infusions and Seth Apter stamps.

Thanks for looking, P.
