Mother's Day

 These are the two mother's day cards that I made this year. The top one has a stamped butterfly that is colored with watercolor pencils. I curled the wings a bit when it was still wet so when i attached it to the card just by the body the winds stuck up. I also added some flowers and stamped "mom"

This card i realize now totally looks like an m&m...

Anyway... i cut the bottom of the card with a circle cutter and added this scallop piece of chipboard. I embossed the dots as well as a few layers onto a shiny dark blue m i had. 

Harry Potter Wire Sculpter

I made some wire sculpures in art and just got them back today. I've done wire sculpture in the past but then the wire was about three times thinner. MY GOD this was so hard to work with! I made a Golden Snitch from Harry Potter as my main project but finished with a few days left so I made a Harry Potter book. 

 The Snitch was supposed to be life size (much smaller than it turned out) but I'm not to bright and so i started the sphere as big as it would be life size but it just grew and grew... (Looks a bit like a girl with pig tails)

 This picture is kind of blurry but I made swirls to mimic the designs on the actual snitch best I could with the wire. For the wings I tried to make the individual feather like structures but that was driving me nuts and was not working. Instead I used multiple pieces of wire to look like it's moving.

Harry Potter J K Rowling

 The book was made quite quickly as just a sort of side project so it's not so good. I manly like the letters that I painted with nail polish so they would stand out against the black wire of the cover. I used just single wires for the pages to make them look thin.

Pink Painting

Finally painted this for my bathroom. I've wanted some art in there since we redid it in the summer. I got the idea from a magazine... not sure what magazine though.

Basically just draw on the lines and then use a color on the bottom and add a bit more white to the paint for each layer above.

I'm probably just to lazy to do another coat but i kind of like how the paint isn't completely solid in each block and that its a bit streaky.

Happy Easter/ Birthday

Yesterday my friend had a birthday party. I love this floral wrapping paper so I went a little overboard with it, using it for the card and a bookmark. I got her three books, Rot & Ruin, The Maze Runner and Going Bovine. I find it a bit amusing how the gift looks very girly but the books are completely the opposite...

And Happy Easter!

Mockingjay Pin (Watercolor Pencil)

I think I've past the point of obsession...

New Blog and Spring Card

This card is pretty simple i was just in the mood to make a card yesterday and this is what came out of it. I really like the colours in the patterns in the background. I also think the card could look nice vertical as well, i dunno.

I started a new blog about writing. I'll still post here on the weekly-ish schedule that i have. if you want, check it out here: http://trail-of-words.blogspot.ca/
