Even More Flowery Creations

More flowers created on a tablet.

More Flowery Creations

All created on my Galaxy Note 10.1. The dragon flies on the lower picture are applied with a brush and are part of the sketchbook pro app; the flowers and background I created from scratch.

Floral Digital Art and Lana's Blog

These were created on a tablet [Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1]. I used the sketchbook pro app and took advantage of the mirror tool. I used the same picture and altered it in two ways - below. Click on the images to enlarge.

Lana Gordon has been doing interviews with fabric designers who use Spoonflower and today she featured me. To check out my interview and meet other designers go to Lana's blog here

Even more of Beamish

 a wall full of metal posters

The pictures above were taken in the open store, a behind the scenes collection [not open all the time]

The desk was in the farm house

The wash buckets were in one of the shops in the town

This is a 'new' building - St. Helen's church, a medieval building rescued from demolition at Eston and re built here. Read more here. All the bricks were numbered so they would know where to put them back together.

More of Beamish

I love drawers so there are a number of photos of them. The drawers above were in the garage, most people were looking at the cars and things related to cars, while all I was interested in was the drawers. There was another set next to these but I couldn't get a good shot.

There was a new [to me] 'open store' with an array of objects

more tomorrow

Beamish

Last week I didn't post much as I had visitors and one of the places we visited was Beamish - the living Museum of the North. I have been many times before as it's not far away, and I have lots of photos and now I have even more. They will be the last ones from this camera though as it broke while I was there. More to follow tomorrow - click on the images to enlarge.

Altered Elephant

I uploaded a photo of the original embroidered elephant onto my tablet and altered it using photoshop touch.

The original embroidery can be seen here

Swatch Quilt

At long last I have made a small quilt with some of my fabric swatches from Spoonflower.

It's not brilliantly made but I'm pleased I actually made it.

All the fabrics are my own designs and are available to buy from Spoonflower.

Now the question is - do I make more small quilts with some more of the swatches?

And perhaps join the quilts together to make a bigger one?

Or a different quilt where the swatches are joined together without the plain fabric between?

Beach Bicycle

The photograph was taken at a local beach. 

The lovely image of the girl on her bicycle was from the Graphics Fairy.

Mail Art

I started with a vintage envelope above and just layered with a vintage image from the Naturalist Library of entomology. It was nice to start with, so I didn't want to overdo it with too much decoration.

Below is a vintage postcard and I've layered with lace and handmade art buttons.

Letter Madness

A friend gave me some old letraset sheets so as you can see I've been messing about with them. The letters are a bit temperamental and don't transfer sometimes and never on some surfaces. They worked better in this book than in the other sketchbook I'm also working in.
