Quick post before the new year

Very busy with the best holidays ever! My baby's first. I love having my baby boy he makes everything better.Also we brought a house! im getting the spear room or should i say art studio?? well I'm jumping a head of myself the current owners need to find some place first.

Also i wanted to tell you all I'm doing Book of Days. Soo looking forward to that.

I haven't finished life book 2013 so i wont be doing it in 2014. bad naughty me. but i have all my videos downloaded so i can eventually catch up

This was a quick play  in-between holiday madness with some lace and some spays. little bit of paint in her hair and on her face  I love it :)

Happy New Year!

Art journal flip.

My very first video is now up for you to enjoy. Its my first 'completed' art journal.

And a quick page from my new altered book art journal. 

One page left

Only one page to go in my art journal getting my new one ready..... and a small side project more on that later.

I'm back!!!

 I have been away for such a long time I started to feel like I can’t come back. I now to my own blog how messed up is that?

I started making deals with myself when I have made something that is really really really good then I can come back, but that’s just silly so I'm back now.

My baby boy was born on the 19/8/13 a little early and he was not very well for a little bit but now I have a happy healthy bundle of joy and I couldn’t love him more. I can never describe how much I love my son. 

I worked really hard copying a photo , I think it looks like him I'm so pleased with it. But then again who could draw/paint my baby boy and not make him super cute!

Yep that’s a sketch I did while he was breastfeeding sorry. 

I'm thinking of doing a art journal flip soon. have a full catch up on most things i have been doing art wise (not that much). Its not all baby related mush i promise.....

Trying out new things this week.

First I have been trying to create a translucent face but I end up adding to many layers. I think I was fairly successful with is girl. She is a mixture of acrylic and coloured pencils something else I have been trying to do. My pen broke while I was doing the writing that’s why it look so sloppy but over all I'm happy with her.

This is just an experiment I did in the tiny art journal with masking fluid and a ink pad. Love the way this looks I really want to develop this further…..

Baby has been keeping me awake most night (just can’t get comfy and the back pain no one warns you about the back pain!!) so I have taken to creating at silly o’clock to distract me from how tired I am. Oh well least I'm finding some time for my art.

 

My little book of sanity.

I didn’t think I would use my tiny art journal much, I had doubts about working on such a small scale.

But in fact I use it a lot almost daily. Especially at the moment, I haven’t been feeling well or getting much sleep so it’s nice to have a little project to work on in bed when I can’t sleep or just when I have the TV on.

 

I fund I'm not s fussy if I try something and it doesn’t work, or ill try something and mentality pin it for a ‘real’ page when I feel better.

Who knew a tiny book could be so saving? Do you ever have that problem of wanting everything to be ‘good’ art? How do u fix it?

Small art journal and healing art.

I haven’t been feeling very well this week and had a lot of stress , so I  haven’t had time to do much art. Been sort of piling it in the past 48 hours to try and catch up.

I finished this painting this week it’s meant to be a self-portrait of me as a child. A bit of self-prescribed healing art.  I'm really pleased with how she came out.

I also have just finished this little art journal. This is for one of Jennibellie’s tutorials I want to have something small I can work on when the baby’s born I made this now to see if I like it. Put it in my bag and see if its gets used. Not sure if it’s to small…. Think I will finish the cover when its complete.
