Painting Assignment

I wanted to share with you all a little of what I have being up to over the last 6 months. This is post is about a series of 3 paintings that I created based off a model artists work. This assignment was a part of the Media Arts Certificate at Wintec.

I hope you enjoy my paintings, I sure enjoyed creating them :)

Vintage Illustrations & Postcards? Yes please!

Whew what a busy year! (but a fun one too). ButI have truly and sadly neglected my blog this year :( although I have still being very crafty and here are a few vintage illustration post cards I have being working on.

Aren't they pretty? I truly love them :) They are made from salvaged vintage golden books ranging from the 1940's to the 1980's. I had true fun making these and then adding pretty coloured scalloped edges to the backs of them. I would love to receive a note from a friend on one of these, wouldn't you?

Felt Christmas Swap

Hi to everyone out there reading this, whew what a big break in between posts. Perhaps I should make my new years resolution be to update my blog at lease 3 times a week. Seems do-able :)

Now...this year I organized on the felt forums a felt community christmas present swap and what a success it was! We had 19 people take part (3 of us participted in 2 lists) and it seems like everybody had a great time taking part. Maybe we can make this an annual occurance.

Okay enough talking, more photos of what these fantastic, crafty, kiwi ladies created! (p.s I have not managed to gather photos from everyone so if your photos are not here or you have received a gift and you don't see the photos in this post then please send them though to me if you have time.)
