Reworked Painting with Birds

With all this rainy weather I have busy pottering around in my craft room. Decided to rework an old painting I didn't like - you may recognise the bottom half of this painting from a previous post. This is a mixed media piece with paper collage - I just love the little birdies and the background texture - I was hoping it would look like a forest with lots of suggestions of background twigs, grass and trees. Just not too sure about the white writing - maybe it should have been a bit bigger ?

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.
