Masculine

 Good evening,

I hope everybody that celebrated it had a fabulous Halloween last night, and had more trick or treaters than I got (I only got 2!). We have a new challenge started today over at MAWTT with the theme of masculine. Here is my creation.

This is a fluid art creation using the run off from a bauble that I made (check back for this at a later date). I thought that this was super masculine in design. To me it looks like a stormy day with a tree in the centre. What do you see in this painting?

I would like to enter this design into the following challenges:

Fluid art vase and canvas

 Back in spring I got a vase from the Wildlife Trust spring show. I decided to fluid art it and then take it back to rise money at the show that is happening this month. I do still need to varnish it, but here is the finished vase.

For this one I poured the colours individually on the vase to get this effect, and the differentiation between the colours is great. Here is the canvas created from this.

Let me know what the image in the canvas looks like to you!

Green fluid set for my mum

 Hi guys,

My mum got 3 of my 8x8 panels that were a set - all done in Turquoise, White and Black. She wanted another panel t go with these as she wanted to display them as a four. Unfortunately I had run out of the specific paints that I used for these, but I had some very similar colours that they had bought me at an auction, so I decided to try using these colours instead. As they were not the same colours I made two 8x8 canvases instead of just one, so that if the colour difference was very obvious two of these and two of the originals can be used, and the originals swapped out at regular intervals to keep interest.

Here are the original panels:

And these are the new panels I made, using silicone in the green as I did for the first set of panels:

This first one is an open cup pour. Upon heating this gave a very similar effect to one of the original panels but with a darker centre due to the type of pour.

This second one was a ribbon pour where I just poured the paints straight onto the canvas in ribbons and then stretched them out. This gives a more distinct effect between the colours and reduces blending.

I then did a little dipped 3x3 canvas (covering one that had not previously worked well):

Things with Wings - RIP Alex Turner

 Well we are now mid-October and our new challenge has started over at Creative Moments. Our optional theme this time is *things with wings* and we are doing a remembrance post for our dear Alex who used to run the blog herself, who sadly passed away last month.

Here is my DT creation:

This is an MDF bauble panel that I have added the diamond art glue to, to create my own diamond art decoration. I still have to decide what I want to do on the back as yet, and am open to ideas :)

I would like to enter this decoration into the following challenges:

Thanks for looking and do pop along to the challenge blog to see more inspiration from the DT.

More fluid art panels

 Good evening,

It is now getting darker much sooner - getting ready for the spooky season of Halloween and I cannot wait!

However, for tonight, I want to share some more of my fluid art panels with you.

So for this first panel I poured purple paint over the background to start, keeping it fluid as needed the other paints to move on top of this base paint layer. I then placed some pieces of string onto my drip tray and covered them with the paints I wanted to use. I then laid the strings on the canvas and slowly pulled down towards the edge of the canvas, creating this flower-like shapes.

I would like to add this panel into the following challenges:

Polkadoodles - Anything Goes

MMM #288 Autumn (colours of the flower shapes are autumnal and purple is halloween)

This second panel is one that you have already seen as I added my autumn leaves to it. However, I wanted to share the base panel and how I created it. I used a selection of reds, oranges and yellows. I put a base puddle of red down on the canvas, then placed an open cup onto this puddle. I then layered the paints into this cup. Once there was enough paint I lifted the cup and stretched the paints.

This final panel was created using one o the new strainers I got with my canvas feet. I used various blues, white and burnt umber for this canvas panel. As you can see from the close up there is some wonderful lacing created within the panel.

I would like to add this in to the following challenges:

Rainbow Flash

 Good evening,

I wanted to share an open cup pour with you again. I wanted to see if the colours popped more if I didn't use any black between them, which it seems they did!

I used Liquitex paints in black, primary blue, red and yellow and I just layered the colours into an open cup settled on a pillow of black.

thanks for looking!

Easel cards and Autumn themes, along with some sea effect creations

 We have our new challenge started today (yes it is actually the 1st October already - very much looking forward to Halloween!) over at Moving Along with the Times. We had to make an easel card, and here is my creation, using some of my peel-offs that I have had in the stash for a while, but haven't used much.

I took a baby blue base card and folded the front to make the easel shape. I had a card strip that I had previously dyed using my drippings from my acrylic pours. I added the sentiment peel-off to this strip before adding it as the easel holder. I used a scalloped circle die-cut in red for the topper and used a clock peel-off with some hearts to make the main image. I finished by adding some glitter hearts to the bottom corners.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge:

We also still have 13 days left in our Autumn themed challenge over at Creative Moments where we are sponsored by the Coloring Channel, where you can get hints and tips and colouring classes for many different techniques if you subscribe. I have added the second leaf to my fluid art Autumnal panel.

I followed the class for this second leaf , and so the veins are present. I think that these both work really well with this panel.

I am entering this panel into the following challenges:

TIOT - Autumn Beauty

Allsorts #859 Anything Autumn

I also bought some circular canvases to use with my spinner and as my bathroom was being fitted and I couldn't park on the drive, I decided to take this opportunity to paint another one of the glasses to make a vase, this time using blues.

For the canvas I centred the weight of the paint and then used the spinner to take the paint out to the edges. It did take a few spins as I have quite a cheap spinner, but it did work and it gave this lovely 'seahorse' style effect.

I would like t enter these into the following challenges:
