Spanish eyes

I just wanted to show the last of my small paintings, completed on our trip to Cornwall in June.
I can only make very small artwork on these trips, as our Mini Cooper S has a tiny boot!!
This pretty lady looks rather Latin, with her brown eyes and so I am calling the painting, "Spanish eyes". She will be available as a mini 4 x6 print and a mini wood art block, when I get around to making them!!

"Tiny worlds"

When I decided to start making ART jewellery, everything was so overwhelming and I ended up buying far too many pendant bases, chains and other bits and pieces.
Now after much research, I am in love with these vintage style brass lockets.
I have placed a teeny glossy photo of my painting behind the magnifying glass cabochon. The results are stunning!! My images shine out from their "tiny world" giving a very intimate feel to the artworks. I love them and have already started giving them as gifts to friends.
The lockets are all available in my folksy and etsy art shops, with new designs coming up soon. Many thanks for viewing ♥

" Mini origional artworks "

When I'm creating small paintings, I like to work on several pieces at once. It helps to keep the creative juices flowing and I don't have to wait around for paint to dry, which as we all know is boring! You can see my work in progress with the unfinished canvasses on my table. Also, these small works are made to look good together, as they do make quite an impact en mass! I've used my favorite techniques to get the effects, including, spraying paint through lace fabric, stamping with raised wall paper, { free samples from a DIY shop } and bubble wrap. I also made my own flower stamps by sticking foam onto thick card. Finally, I decided to paint the boarders black to bring the paintings together. The canvases measure 20 x 15cm and are all available to buy in my folksy shop, though not all are listed. Many thanks for looking ♥ http://www.mochalulu.folksy.com/

Pretty posting!

As my photo shop skills develop with many hours of practice, I am finding lots of new ways to have fun.
I made these cute postage stamp designs, by incorporating my art works with other photographic images. I then popped into http://www.bighugelabs.com/ and chose "frames", then "postage stamps". Bighuge labs have lots of tools for budding graphic designers to play with.
