Blown Tile

 Hi guys,

So this is my first tile for the new bathroom. Using the Shelee bloom technique to create the tile with black, yellow, purple and blue acrylic paints made to a medium consistency.

This second photo shows some of the lacey cells that formed from this technique. To create this tile I made two puddle pours, one at each side of the tile, with a single layer of each colour. I then blew on this paint puddle to push the paint out to the sides and corners of the tile, causing the paint to fold over itself while it is being blown. The bottom paint is more noticeable once finished with the top colour being hidden under the others.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my post,

Christmas Bauble

 Hi guys,

I have made some Christmas baubles using two different techniques. I wanted to try both ways of creating the baubles before going ahead and doing a whole set. So I chose some left over paints that needed to be used, layered them in two dirty cups and then painted some baubles.

This is the first one - made by pouring the paint inside the bauble and twisting to allow it to run around the inside. The difficulty with this version is getting the paint evenly coating the inside of the bauble.

This one used the same paint but this time I covered the outside of the bauble. The difficulty with this version is finding something to hold it up, as you don't want it sitting directly on the canvas, plus it easily falls over. For me I couldn't get it to stay upright and so it has these little marks on it where I had to use something to sit it on to keep it steady.

However, they were good fun to create and I will be doing some more with the clear plastic baubles that would not otherwise get used.

I would like to enter them into the following challenge:

Feminine fluid art vase and panel

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge has started today over at MAWTT, with the theme of Feminine.

I am sharing another of my fluid art designs, this time a vase and two canvases that I made with the drippings.

I am sharing these paintings into the following challenges:

Allsorts #855 Colours of Summer (the bright colours pop against the black)

Vase in black

 Hi guys,

I have changed the colours slightly for my next vase, using a black base instead of white. The colours I used were Liquitex paints in primary red, primary blue, primary yellow, mid-green and mars black. Here is the result:

As you can see the black did overpower the colours slightly unfortunately, but there is some nice patterning on the vase. The canvas is quite a subtle, nebula-like effect. Very spacey I think anyway.

I would like to enter these creations into the following challenge:

Fridge magnets from vase pour

 Hi guys,

I meant to share these magnets in yesterdays post but forgot. These are from the drippings from the vase and canvas pours on my previous post.

The second one is just from the vase paint left overs, whereas the first one is also from the canvas that included the blue paint, hence the pretty blue areas on the magnet. I have to say that for me the blue adds much needed drama to the magnet - what do you think?

I would like to enter these into the SimonSaysMonday - fun with paint challenge.

Thank you for looking,

Shimmer Metallic Glowworm

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge went live this morning at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of shimmer and shine. To make my card shine I used metallic pencils on the glow-worm that Glinda is riding on.

I simply cut the image into a rectangle, and then trimmed some circle patterned paper for behind and layered onto a blue card. Room has been left for the sentiment.

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

TIOT - Animals, real or imaginary

Addicted to CAS #312 UP

inkspirational #371 Summer vibe

I have also done a second fluid art vase, with matching canvas of course.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and have a look at my blog,

Orange and Yellow

 Hi guys,

We are due another heatwave and I have to work in a cold air conditioned office :(. However, I have been experimenting with my fluid art again, this time using some glasses we had but didn't use because they were too large, to make vases. Here is the first of the vases I have made, along with the resulting canvas (I don't like to waste the paints) and magnets.

I do not like the outcome of the magnets and the vase is quite rough in texture (which may soften once glossed of course). I do however quite like the canvas and the way that cells have formed in one corner, but the ribbons of colour are very distinct in the rest of the design.

Let me know what you think of these - your feedback helps me decide what to try next. 

I would like to enter these into the following challenges:

MMM #281 Blend two or three colours (yellow, red and green)

AYLI - non-card project - I am really into fluid art at the moment as it is quick to get a result and you can never really predict how it will end up.

Thanks for looking and I eagerly await your feedback,
