Some other works 2

Blogging in a super long post did not feel good. So I split chapter. Now the last pictures for today. I had to sent my first canvas painting I ever made for a swap to the USA. So I did my best to create another canvas for myself. Yes .... I am so glad with the first canvas for ME, MYSELF!!!:-) I just feel like I have not yet discovered my own style .... Maybe this is my style .... But to be honest .. I think I see to much of those I have learned from and would like to go there where I can only recognize myself.

With the last pictures I want to let you see the details on the painting.

Some other works 1

Here some projects I have done. Most of these projects I started before the summer, but are finished through the time. Acrylics seems to be my favourite medium at the time. But I just started and I am still learning. Not to talk/write a lot .... here are the pics.
The pics of the drawings are posted here. And I said I will post the finished page. So here it is!

My small Moleskine art journal is the moleskine I work in most of the time. I started to work in my A4 moleskine as well, but I am going slowly. Here pictures of my first page in my small Moleskine. Of course, you will see my dollies and that what I have learned at dolldreams.ning. I added a close u so you can see at least some of the small details. Please enjoy ....

Some other pages in my small moleskine. 

This page is not finished yet, as you can see.

These pages are finished. Just pages I created as how I felt at the time journaling. Thank you for visiting my blog. Please leave a comment and feel free to ask questions about my topics:-)

Art journal pages

I am in a art journal pages swap. Two prompts are given and participants have to make two art journal pages. As a newbie on milliande.ning.com I decided to participate. The prompts are: Angel and demons, the second prompt is Word/Phrase - Open a dictionary or book, without looking, point to a word or phrase and use it to create a page.

This is my Angel and demons entry:

It is drawn and painted with acrylic paints. At the left you'll see that one inch is free of journaling. You can not see it on the picture, but there is some structure on the page. The dress of the angel is in gold acrylic paint.

The drawn word is Spiritual. How applicable for an art journal. The second entry has pretty colours. The mix of the turquoise and pink makes me happy. I just had some black acrylic paint I did not wanted to waste. On top of the black I used some silver acrylic paint. I attached an feather on top of the turquoise flower; maybe hardly to see on the picture. The word spiritual is stamped on the art journal page.

Painted postcard

Today is a lovely day! Not much sun, but the wind feels quite warm. I am crafting again and I am currently working on several projects. A canvas painting, a painted postcard and I am painting and paperpiercing in my small Moleskine art journal. So I am switching a lot between these projects. If one has to dry I´ll pick up another one. Here a picture of the postcard I made. I started yesterday and it is finished today. Wondering if I could duplicate the postcard, I tried to make a copy of it. My goal was to get a black and white (not white actually, because the cardstock is kind of grey). What I got is a full copy of my postcard, so it has all the colors of the original postcard. Yes, I forgot to hit the black & white knob. But I was surprised and satisfied. I have to sent two postcards, so I could use the copy. And I don't like to make two of the same, so I add to each postcard its own details. E.g. the quote on each card is different. The quote is from labels of my favourite tea at the moment: Yogi tea.

This is the original painted postcard. Destination: a postcrosser in the USA.

The copy of the original above. This one will be sent to The Netherlands.

Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday. Stay well!

Red eye girl ATC

A postcrosser and I decided to exchange ATC´s. Since I started to draw and paint I really like it more to draw and paint my ATC´s. But I still enjoy creating ATC´s out of scraps or other media. Yesterday I started to draw the ATC. I got my inspiration from mycreativebliss on youtube and all the red eye people out there. There are more red eye painted girls, but I got more inspiration watching her video. Check her out! This is my version of the Red eye girl. I am hoping the receiver likes my ATC. This ATC is sent with another ATC, a written greeting card and as a present (for her to use) a handmade card I created. The envelope is very colourful, so I hope she´ll be surprised. This is my first acrylic painted ATC, which is on its way to Wendy in the USA.

I did not forgot my blog ....

No, I did not. But vacation was coming, then it was vacation .... so I just enjoyed my spare time. My oldest daughter, Michelle and I went to Italy and we had an amazing time together.

Another amazing thing is that I created a canvas painting!! It is the first canvas painting I ever created and I wanted to keep it. It is such a beautiful art piece. I love the dollies I learn to make at dolldreams, so most of my dollies will have those amazing big dollz eyes! Some pics for you to see my art ... the final piece.

A close up of the beautiful big eyes.

Special about this painting is that I made the canvas board and it is a mix media painting. I can not say where this painting is going to. Otherwise it is not a surprise for the person who has to recieve it and the chance of her reading my blog is there. 

 Another piece I created: an owl decorated hanging postcard. New for me is making the postcard a hanging one. I have made a lot of postcard, so that is not a new thing to me. But drawing and painting the postcard was something I have not done before. It was a real challenge, believe me. Here is the postcard:

This card is also sent to someone. She obviously is expecting a hanging postcard! I did put a dollie on the card, I had to .... It is another mix media product and the beaded necklace is for the hanging of the card.

It is really fun to use different mediums to create. The creator decides which medium will be used and how the art journal page will look like. Love the unlimited idea of creativity and medium!
