Paint Party Friday.

It's been a busy week this week so I haven't got much to share but I just managed to rustle up a quick sketch in oil pastels to share with you for Paint Party Friday.

I really must apply myself to getting something more substantial completed.

Thanks for stopping by

I really appreciate it.

Hi There,

Not much on my desk this week except for another quick oil pastel and graphite sketch on a scrap of paper.

I thought I would show you her at different stages.

Just a little Bit.

This little one is in my handmade 'Play Time' Journal.

She has been done in gesso and graphite on a collaged background. The only colour is the tiny red hearts on her dress which were covered in gesso.

Hope you like her.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

Paint Party Friday

Hi Everyone,

This week I can show you a piece of mail art that I did for a friend of mine as she has now received it so there is no chance of spoiling the surprise.

She is done in acrylics and oil pastel on a postcard backed with mount board. The envelope was handmade from one of my mono printed papers.

I am linking this post to PAINT PARTY FRIDAY. I hope you will follow the link and see what other party- goers have been up to.

Serendipity Series #1

Serendipity 
noun
The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.

I like to find accidental images that are pleasing to the eye or even little works of art in themselves. So, I thought I would start a series of posts on the subject.

I picked out this image from a page I have which was created by citrasolv on a page from a National Geographic Magazine.

To me, this looks like a scene of a cliff edge.

I hasten to add that this was not originally a picture of a cliff . This image has been created solely from the ink on the page after it has dissolved.

I think I may enjoy this 'series' I hope you do.

THANKS FOR VISITING.

It started with a mono print.

I added some collage and paint.

Then continued layering

I then started to work on my figure ant tried out some possible dress designs.

Then the final touches and here is the finished piece.
