3 little robins on a winter's day

Morning all, a little last minute with this entry :) Here is my threesome of Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge.   I made a mistake starting out on the wrong type of paper - bristle board I think, and the result is a mixed media painting with pen, watercolour and acrylic and some white gel pen.
Cheers.

ATC Challenges at Wicked Wednesdays!

A new little blog has started up with some fun themed ATC challenges. The blog is called Wicked Wednesday and this week's theme is It's All About You! So come and check it out!
This is my ATC entry for the challenge. I guess my truth to the theme is that is  a lie. I am truly a sexy blond with huge eyes, a saucy attitude with the fragrance of channel, and  not a greying brunet, who has on sweats (clean ones) and with oud de barn wafting around :)
Off to take a bath :)
Cheers

I updated the pic today as I was not happy with it. On the mini easel is the final jazzed up version.  I added some glitter, to the lips 3d effect, and white gel pen. I also used my art knife to help correct some line errors and added more colour.

ACT vs ACEO thoughts

Here's a little fella I have created for an ATC swap. He was created a whopping 9 times! Yeah don't ask it was a bit much for me and rather a challenge as the ATC swap is rather crafty- give me paper, and paint and a little glitter - super: give me some ribbon and stuff - yikes it takes a day to do the thing :)

On the ATC front I think I will open and esty store with them and brave the highs and lows of shoppers and the post office. However, I have been wondering what to call my stuff. I figure if I draw it all on paper with my pencil then paint etc it would be and ACEO , but what happens when I use line art  created on the  computer (and I sell this line art as art stamps) then print the line art  and colour it by hand?  While it might be a one of a kind, it sort of isn't. Can it still be called ACEO or does it just become ATC, as it is not really a print either. Any thought on this would be great because it would effect the price of the thing. Another point to ponder in this is the fact that I sell the line art stamps( digital stamps), so others too can create something with the same line art.

BearFae on a Sunday

A little whimsical ACEO for Sunday Sketches.  Watercolour pencil and a tab of colour pencils on watercolour paper.

Summer seems to be over, the kids are back in school and we are all down with our first back to school cold.
Hope you all are well and pop by our darling Sohphia's blog and see what the SS artist have thought up this week.
Cheers

Waiting on an egg on Paint Party Friday

ATC or ACEO? That is the question. One is meant only to be trade the other can be sold.  In the meanwhile I will stuff it in a drawer. In the background (as some wondered) are two more birds (peacocks) with there eggs and some palm trees of sorts.  Yup they are really small. The picture shown here is the actual size of the illustration- 2.5x3.5inches.
Painted with watercolour pencil and water, colour pencil, and white gel pen ,on watercolour paper, backed with card.
Hope you have a great Friday and pop by the Paint Party Friday  and see other artists fab paintings :)
Cheers

Sketch on Sunday Sketches

I have been wanting to do this illustration for a while but have been daunted by time it might take, and then last week (or the week before) I made an ATC (artist trading card) and was thrilled. ATC seem to be basically anything as long as they are within the dimensions of 2.5x3.5 inches.  This is great as it is something I can finish within allotted  art-free-from-being-a-mummy-time. So here is the sketch of the ATC. I will post the colour version when I finish it. I hope in time for Friday and that I realise it is Friday on Friday. But, today is now Sunday so pop on by Sophia's Sunday Sketches  and see what fabulous work our SS friends have this week.
Cheers
