This was for a lady at work whose 50th birthday fell on Valentine’s day. She always wears bright colours, and I was going for an art deco feel. The layers are cardstock, floral paper, green cardstock, and white card which has been sponged for the stamped image. The vellum has been edged with copper ink, […]
This was the final canvas of the five I created last year for work colleagues. I did give it to her before Christmas, I just didn’t post it here (and the pics from #3 are missing, so I am waiting on that colleague to get me a new digital photo of it. SB has been […]
This was for a colleague who is from Fiji. When I asked her what colours she likes, she told me pink and orange. I was going for a lush, tropical feel and highly saturated colours. I had a lot of fun with this, and got to use some of my bollywood braiding. It was also […]
I forgot to say that the past two posts contained photos that I took myself, with Daedalist’s funky camera. He has taken all the other photos for me. The white on the face of the lady in Etoile is due to the flash making the sealer all shiny, but it was my first attempt and […]
I made this for one of my work colleagues, the 2nd of 5 that I want to finish by the end of the year. (Previous effort was Put on your wings). Etoile is named after the stars on the woman. I wanted to use black and red for my colleague, and I really like the […]
This was the class I did at Darling Harbour a while back. It was very quick, about an hour all up. First I put texture paste on the canvas, then added the acrylic paint. What that was drying I painted the shapes – the big flower and the two buds. Then they were glued on […]
This was delivered to Tanith a few weeks ago – I finally resolved the issue of looking unfinished. I added ‘Exhibit A’, the microscope slide, the gold foil swirls, and the braiding down the bottom. Very happy with it now.
This is for someone at work who is about to have twin girls. I tried to use the baby stamp twice but it looked stupid, so I just went with one. I was going for a colourful, funky feel – it is ok, but not what I was trying to achieve. This time I have […]
I made this for one of the guys at work (called Pete) for his birthday. Pete is very attached to his man-bag. The pink polka-dotted bits are from a sheet of stickers. I think the bow is supposed to be a hair accessory, but it complemented the bow tie in the original photo so I […]
I did a 3D canvas art class last week at the Craft & Quilting Expo held at Darling Harbour last weekend. It was a different style of canvas art, and I had a lot of fun. I’ll post a picture of my efforts soon. I am also just about finished another piece – it is […]
