Sunny, Daisy Flower Mixed Media Canvas

We all need some motivation and encouragement, right? This sunny, daisy flower mixed media canvas was created with this in mind.

I love flowers. I love the range of vibrant colours that they burst forth with. I love how a group of them can't help but look cheery and happy. Combine these happy flowers with tones of yellow and green and a tone of happiness is set!

I also believe that we are all created by God for a purpose and that there is a need to stop life from clouding or diminishing this at times. The words that I wrote on the canvas are meant to remind us of our value, to be strong and to proudly do what is required.

Paint is a wonderful medium to work with. I enjoy working with it so much as it offers such freedom in creativity. I love blending colours together and adding textures. I have been inspired by other mixed media artists, of late, and have experimented with new techniques. I have even started an art journal to make the most of trying out these new ideas. In this canvas, I have used bunches of thread as a way to create some extra dimension. I have also used torn magazine pieces as the centre of the flowers.

This canvas is currently available, although I am having a bit of a hiccup listing it in the new shop that I hope to open soon online. 

(Feel free to contact me for more details about this canvas, if you have any questions though).

Thanks for viewing!

Rabbit Embroidery

How have you been?

It seems like a long time since I have sat down and shared about what has been happening.

I am slowly getting back into the routine of things after a lovely holiday break and embracing a new year that is filled with new opportunities and ideas.

One such idea is the notion in being more active in helping others. Mim from 'Hero Happy Mail' has the wonderful idea of assisting 'little heroes' that have experienced a tough time of late. It has been delightful to join a community that is focused on giving special surprises to these little ones. I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to create something each month, especially for a little hero. Everyone loves a handmade gift, right?

Here is my first ... a little bunny nibbling on some grass.

I wanted to merge my love of painting, a different medium to paint on, in this case, some reclaimed fabric and embroidery. Instead of purely painting on an image, I have stitched an outline in part and then added some paint to fill in with colour. The finished product is then framed in a recycled frame with a touch of padded softness added.

Thanks for viewing!
