Big Post (making up for lost time)

Far out, I've done it again, left it far too long between posts. The good news is, I have plenty of pieces to post.

First up, just a few 3.5 x 3.5 b&w tiles. This first one I did to try out Lila Popcheffs pattern 'Violeta'

 

 These bottom three are very much inspired by Helen Williams patterns.

Then there was colour, I just through in a splash of red.

Whoa,  then out came the full pallete of water colours and clearly I didn't hold back. I actually really love how this piece turned out.

up next is the tiles I did for my Facebook groups January Challenge. Two colours & two tangles. 

These two have Lilas patterns, 'Trapt' in them. I really love that pattern. So easy and addictive to do.

But wait, there's more. LOL!

These last few are all the A4 size pieces I've done over the last few weeks.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog. Please leave a comment if you have any questions. Hope to be back soon xx

Fun in the Sun

While we have been experiencing the most beautiful, warm, sunny weather, I have been making the most of it, creating in the sun.

I have a few different pieces to show you.
First up is just a little black and white ZIA flower bed.

Yo might notice (or not, lol) that I used my own pattern 'Anteek' in the two tall flowers at the back.  

This little angel is brought to you compliments of The Graphics Fairy. I love that site, an amazing selection of images to choose from. I simply ranged away, on and around this little gem. I think she turned out very nicely.

This piece came about because I joined a water colour pencil (wcp) group on Fb.  I have never done much with wcp before this group but I'm glad I joined.  This was the result of the first tutorial. 

I won't show you the final photo of this particular piece, I really wasn't happy with the pen embellishment.  Lol!

Aaaaaand,  last and definitely least is this piece. I used masking fluid and acrylic paint.... DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME!!

I should have know the acrylic would peel off with the fluid and I also knew that I cannot embellish with pen over acrylic paint. A definite dislike for me. 

This sadly ends my journey with acrylic paint. It's over.  Lol!

I'm sticking with what I know and love, my trusty watercolour paints. 

I can't wait to show you my newest venture using masking fluid. A new spin on how I'm using it. 

So, until next then, HAPPY TANGLING! xxx 

☆~My New Pattern~☆

Here it is, my new pattern. I am naming it 'ANTEEK' because it is a trim pattern around an old (kind of antiquie) semi circle table I acquired a while back.... I feel like it does resemble elements of other patterns like 'Dekore', 'Drip Drop', 'Fancy Nancy', 'Eyehook', 'Retro' and 'Sp-eye'ryl' but is different in so many ways.

I don't know why it has taken me so long to acknowledge this beautiful design.... I have been fiddling with it for a while and come up with these step outs.

This is a wonderful tangle pattern to play with.

I'm kind of addicted to it now. Lol!

And for my Facebook ' Aussie Zentangle Inspired Art group ~ 'Utensils challenge' thanks to Lila Popchef of Poppies Pen Pics I came up with this little gem. Cookie cutters.....

I am quite possibly obsessed with zentangle inspired art, but who can blame me. I hope you enjoy using my new pattern. Would love to see what you come up with. Link back here to my blog if you post it on your blog. Yay!
