Girlie Affirmation Painting No 1

This is the first painting of two girlie affirmation paintings. I wanted to create a girl with wings and add positive affirmations to her dress. I felt like the features on her face were a bit small and that the affirmations could have been bigger - so I did a second one.

Girlie Affirmation Paintings No 2

This is the second painting of a girl with wings giving some positive affirmations. I used the crumbled tissue paper background to give it a bit more texture and make the background a bit more interesting. I also made the features on the face a bit bigger and the fonts of the affirmations on her dress bigger. I do prefer this one to the first one I created.

Flower Collage Cards

Big changes!!! I have changed my blog name to Kerry's Artistic Creations - you will find all sorts of things here - exciting stuff to come - can only hope.

My last project was following on from the last technique only on a smaller scale. I painted a whole lot of little flower collage paintings and made them into cards. Rather fiddly cutting up all those little flower circles but have ended up with a few rather nice cards - well I think so anyway.

New Name

As Li-Sa and I have not been doing any "art challenges" I think I need to come up with a new name for my blog not that I seem to be doing too much on it lately. I do have a few new things to post as soon as I download some photos to share with anyone who is reading this! Am thinking along the line of Kerry's Creative Passions, Creative Things by Kerry? - not certain what to call it from now on???

Paper Flowers Collage

This is my latest painting which is a mixture of acrylic paint, pastels, tissue paper and collage. I found the idea by Serena Wilson Stubson in my favourite magazine Cloth, Paper, Scissors and thought I would give it a go. I love the texture the crumbled tissue paper gives to the background . I rubbed some pastels over the painted surface and this gave the painting a bit more depth. Wasn't certain about it all to start with but just love the end result - so much so I may do another one, very soon!

Fabric Wall Hanging

Can't believe it's been so long since I last added something new. Li-Sa and I have not had any art challenges but I have kept myself busy doing lots of different things. Have just completed a fabric wall hanging. This one is just to get me started and learn from and see what I like or don't like. Started with the black and white pictures from my fabric stash and grew from there.

Splat 1 & 2

Haven't posted anything in a while so thought I should add something new. I have these two little silver picture frames so decided to paint something simple using only black and white. So I have created Splat 1 and Splat 2. Hanging on my wall now so I can decide if I like them.

Paper Quilt

Got an idea from one of my magazines using different coloured watercolour paints, cutting them up into squares and then attaching or sewing onto another piece of paper. Just a play around with different colours and designs.
