Broken Home and Doodles

I call this altered photo 'broken home', the poor robin's home fell to the ground and is breaking up.

Below are doodles I did on my android tablet.

Wild Flower Canvas and Garden Cushions


I reused a canvas for this. It had melted wax crayons dripped on it which were set, so I scraped it off. I created texture by using an old tube of lumpy acrylic paint, I'd cut the end off the tube to get to the paint. I then painted over it several times mainly because I didn't like the colour until I got this purple-blue. I painted on the flowers with a brush.





This is the canvas before adding the flowers although the colour doesn't look quite right.


Also this week I made some cushions for my daughters outdoor bench. It is one of my own fabric designs and I'd bought the fabric a while ago for a project and then didn't use it. There wasn't enough fabric to do both sides so I used something else for the undersides. I forgot to take a picture of the cushions on the actual bench.

For World Watercolour Month

I tried to copy a painting in an art book, it's not the same but I like it. This one was done on watercolour paper.

This next one was painted in a sketchbook, the paper is not watercolour paper.
I was inspired by a vintage tin with the willow pattern on it.



I was trying to follow the prompt - shine - for this one.
the cup and saucer are totally wrong and it doesn't shine. I do have this cup, I made a little garden with mushroom house made from felt, fabric, embroidery, beads and sequins.


It's Friday so that means Paint Party Friday!
Have a nice weekend!

WWM and Black and White patterns

World Watercolour Month - I've not been following many of the prompts this month, nothing has to come to mind for most of them, so I've been doing my own thing. I've not done as much painting this month either because I've been sewing, gardening or reading. The bad painting above is my version of a painting by Berthe Morisot.

This was drawn from a photo I took

And this one I just made up, I did the lines of colours and decided to make it into a person.

I had quite a lot of black and white mandala patterns which I did on my android tablet so I put them all together. I designed them to be cut on my Zing digital cutter but I've not used them...yet.



Also in black and white


I made this one into a repeating pattern which I may put on Spoonflower.
