Fun in the Sun

While we have been experiencing the most beautiful, warm, sunny weather, I have been making the most of it, creating in the sun.

I have a few different pieces to show you.
First up is just a little black and white ZIA flower bed.

Yo might notice (or not, lol) that I used my own pattern 'Anteek' in the two tall flowers at the back.  

This little angel is brought to you compliments of The Graphics Fairy. I love that site, an amazing selection of images to choose from. I simply ranged away, on and around this little gem. I think she turned out very nicely.

This piece came about because I joined a water colour pencil (wcp) group on Fb.  I have never done much with wcp before this group but I'm glad I joined.  This was the result of the first tutorial. 

I won't show you the final photo of this particular piece, I really wasn't happy with the pen embellishment.  Lol!

Aaaaaand,  last and definitely least is this piece. I used masking fluid and acrylic paint.... DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME!!

I should have know the acrylic would peel off with the fluid and I also knew that I cannot embellish with pen over acrylic paint. A definite dislike for me. 

This sadly ends my journey with acrylic paint. It's over.  Lol!

I'm sticking with what I know and love, my trusty watercolour paints. 

I can't wait to show you my newest venture using masking fluid. A new spin on how I'm using it. 

So, until next then, HAPPY TANGLING! xxx 

Mixing it up

This week I have used a few different methods in my art adventures. This first one started off with a gelli plate background and developed into a celebration of mine and my brothers cats, Jax and Sas. We call them cousin kitties. Aaaaw, so Cute! This one just kept on growing and growing with embellishments, black felt tip pen and white gel pen.

This next piece is done on a watercolour background with felt tip tangles. I was inspired to use Alaura and it ended up being the focal point. 

And finally,  somewhere along the way I managed to do a couple of classic black and white tiles using fescu as the target tangle for a facebook group challenge. 

Time to move onto a flower challenge for another facebook group. Will post again soon.

HAPPY TANGLING! xx

Back to Classics

Today I decided it was time to go back to where it all began for me. Classic 3.5 x 3.5 inch black and white tiles.

Colour ~ Colour ~ Colour

I just can't resist colour these days. Thought i would share what I've been up to lately.
