Holiday and Dragon

Were you wondering why I hadn't posted recently? 

I've been away to Tenerife, these photos were taken in a place called Masca.

I have done quite a bit of drawing recently but I've not taken photos yet. 

I don't think I ever showed you this dragon which was made on the 3d printer from a design found on the internet. It has a lot of parts, which move and are held together by cord. It was printed, spray painted and joined together by my husband, very challenging. The only thing I did was paint the eyes.

Dragon with Sheep

Altered photo. 

The sheep were seen at the Rising Sun Country Park, Newcastle.

I saw the dragon holding a sign in Lucerne, Switzerland and borrowed it to keep the sheep company..

Gift Exchange

I met up with the arty girls at the weekend for a meal out and exchange of handmade gifts and cards.

The lovelies I received were a box of cakes - these were made from paper and the lid lifted to reveal little presents - buttons, glitter, chocolate, washi tape.

A handmade book with various types of paper pages and a cover with real leaves. Also a hand cut bird tag.

A handmade book - this one is a weekly planner. Each page was personalized and printed with to do lists, diary, shopping list, doodles etc

A gift to come at a later date

I made and gave 3D layered pictures. Designed in my sketchbook, tweeked on the computer and cut on my Zing Air. I used various cards and papers and also painted the layers which were then put in shop bought frames with glass fronts. The glass made it difficult to photograph because of other things reflected in it. Three of the frames are white although they look blue, the other is black.

I found the dragons as clip art.
