Hexie Bag and Gelli Prints

First of all I finished the second hexie bag. All the hexagonal patches were stitched by hand, some not very neatly unfortunately. The first bag can be seen here.

I've also been doing some Gelli prints with my new acrylic paints.

I quite like this one but I thought I would go over it anyway.

I liked the colours on this but went over it with more prints until it turned out like this. You cannot see the first layer very well now.

I also did some prints directly into a flower book

This were not as successful I think

Happy Paint Party Friday!

Puffin

I painted canvas fabric with acrylic paints, then enhanced the painting with freehand machine embroidery. [the black thin lines]

Poppy Heads Applique

I painted canvas fabric with acrylic paints for this picture. The poppy heads were printed on top with hand made stamps and acrylic paint. The stamps were made with fun foam cut on my Zing cutting machine and stuck to strong card. The poppies were outlined with stitching and I stitched on a few strips of painted fabric for interest.

Alphabet Canvas

I used Golden coarse molding paste and lots of different stencils to make this.

Kitty

The background - mark making with acrylic paints, drawing ink

Cat - recycled envelope, aquamarkers, liner pen

Corrugated Card Stamp

I've not made a stamp for a while and I saw some curly corrugated card lying around just waiting to be used so I stuck it to a small square of wood.

Cat on Canvas

I painted this with acrylic paints on a canvas. The background was created with various stamps, mainly hand made and I used some found items as stamps.

Two Art

Today I have two very different kinds of art. First I have digital art,  I used a photograph for the background [one I took on a trip to Scotland] and the bird is a lovely image from the Graphics Fairy

The other art is a very textured painting on canvas. Can you guess what I used under the paint to create the texture? [It's not texture paint or anything like that]

Beaded Monoprints & Rolling Stamps [30-33]

These mini canvases were pressed into thick green acrylic paint, then while the paint was wet I fixed on the beads. It seemed a good idea at the time, although now I'm not so sure..... I don't like them.

More rolling stamps - No 30 was made from a piece of ....? ...the fabric that keeps little [wall] tiles together. Keep your eye open for textured fabrics, they make great rolling stamps. If you are throwing something away, think before you do, you maybe able to recycle it for a rolling stamp. And save empty bottles and other round containers.

No 31 - this fabric I acquired from a friend

No 32 was made from pipe insulation

No 33 is a wine bottle cork, just simple lines cut from the edge

Embroidered Mono Prints

These little canvas's [5x7 inches] have been mono-printed with

acrylic paints quite thickly for texture. I then hand embroidered them with cretan stitch and fern stitch. The beads and sequins were put on last.
