<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's called 'Blooming Bunting' and its the first in my series of arts projects primarily aimed at creative young uns! The bunting is very simple and easy to make with clear instructions (I've had it tested beforehand just to make sure it all works as it should). There are many ways to use the floral motifs in this pack and the great thing is that you can have total control when it comes to colour scheme, be as tasteful or as zany as you wish!. Use watercolours, markers, crayon, pencils... the choice is yours. The artwork is all my own, having been originally hand drawn with black ink. There are ten floral motifs to choose from and each has its own quirky look. I've also included a little bunch of funky butterflies to flutter here and there.</span></div>

This past week has been a little crazy! Been potty training Charlie for the last 5 weeks, everything was going well until Monday when he decided that going to the potty wasn't really that much fun after all. He's now telling me that he's too little for pants, bless him! So in between major squealy tantrums and little accidents, I've been keeping myself sane drawing flowers. Thank goodness for art! Pop on over to my facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/tanyamacart">www.facebook.com/tanyamacart</a> if you haven't already, you'll see my finished piece 'time to bloom' which you can download and print for your own personal enjoyment. Would love it if you could 'like' the page, and i'll do my best to 'like' you back ;) </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Hiya everyone! I just though I'd drop in and let you all know that my etsy shop is back up and running! I've had a bit of a rethink and decided to freshen up the shops look and feel, with focus on affordable, original art as opposed to one off bits and bobs. I'm very excited about a new series of flower illustrations I'm currently working on called WILDflowers - please do drop in and have a wee look! And I'm creating a whole collection of sweet little birdFOLK. There shall be more listed over the coming weeks so come on over ;)</span></div>

This is one of the simplest techniques ever! Just doodle with crayon/oil pastel, brush on liberally with watercolours and let the magic reveal itself. Very therapeutic for yet another rainy day! ;)TanyaMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195767948366396285noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900855536619155015.post-68185269696448820412012-07-17T15:54:00.001+01:002012-07-17T15:56:48.802+01:00the long goodbye...<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We've finally completed the sale of our house in Ireland. This weekend we packed up the rest of our belongings, said our final goodbyes and returned 'home' to York. I'm a little cocktail of emotion today, relieved, exhausted and just a tad overwhelmed by the finality of it. Our hopes and dreams were tied up in that little house, and i became a wife and a mother there and i know that i may never return to live in Ireland. Now its time to move on and get things back on track, Yorkshire is my home now and i plan to make it lovely ;)* </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What started out as a simple colourfast experiment on an old plate soon took shape, sprouted wings and actually became 'something' that i'm quite chuffed with! I used my trusty sharpies for this but I'm sure i should have used porcelain paint instead. Ah well, I'm not going to eat off it just glance at it from time to time. I might try my hand at creating one of those fancy shmancy plate walls i've been seeing all over pinterest. Which will mean lots more rummaging at car boots and thrift shops seeking out battered old plates for my project, the more retro the better. Sounds like fun to me! :)</span></div>TanyaMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195767948366396285noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900855536619155015.post-32420573698418043292012-07-10T15:30:00.002+01:002012-07-10T16:17:36.813+01:00meet the twits from Looville ;)*<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Go on give it a go! Grab a toilet roll out of your recycling pile, squish down the top to create a nice owl or pussy cat shape, then tape to secure. Drape your critter in colourful tissue paper and brush on some watered down mod podge, sprinkle with glitter and let dry. I doodled a bunch of accessories on white card so that we could change up their outfits to match their 'mood' (yes a loo roll can have moods, you heard it here first!). Use double stick tape for this or foam tape squares which we found pretty handy for beaks as you can prop their spectacles. Great fun for a rainy day in with the little man ;)</span><br />

Also take a look at this great <a href="http://alisaburke.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/creativity-with-crayons.html" target="_blank">intro</a> to using crayons in your artwork, thanks to Alisa Burke my eyes have been opened to the possibilities... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So I found myself doodling at the kitchen counter last night - not my usual style at all, just lots and lots of angular stuff going on, lines, squares, triangles that sort of thing. I wasn't too happy with the finished result (I'm definitely more of a circle kinda girl) so i snipped it up into pieces and randomly stuck it together again to create a doodled collage. I must admit i hated it at first, but then it started to grow on me as these things do. It's a new style and technique for me (i really enjoyed the snipping part) so i wanted to make something from it rather than chuck it. So here's the finished result - a birthday card for my bro, i wonder will he like it? The little fingerprint chick was another surprise discovery - i just have too make more of those little fella's ;)</span></div>TanyaMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195767948366396285noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900855536619155015.post-15714462407546673522012-05-10T12:39:00.001+01:002012-05-10T19:12:42.593+01:00if you go to the woods today...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">i love comic books as they are so bright & bold. Last Christmas, I made a couple of comic book wreaths, one for Gezza and one for me. I still have mine on display in the dining room and it may well see christmas 2012 too, i can't bear to put it away!</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thanks goes to Jenna deAngeles for the inspiration and very entertaining how to, she was soo right about the chocolate! ;) enjoy...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look what we made for Granny G over the Easter break! Honestly this cherry blossom tree is so easy to make an 18 month old can help (see above for evidence). Good old Martha stewart gave me the inspiration</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. Basically you get some tissue paper circles (roughly 2-3") crumple it a bit and stick to a bunch of twigs with a dab of pva glue then plonk it in a pretty vase. I gave charlie some tissue paper to scribble all over with crayons beforehand and the end effect was so so pretty. We finished it off with some pastel coloured eggs and placed it in front of a nice big mirror.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The flowers are made from cupcake wrappers and straws, stuck in old beer bottle with a fringey bit of green tissue and pink ribbon. from humble beginnings beauty is born ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here's a little something i made for Paul, my bro in law - he works from home and with two teens bouncing around he finds it hard to get a bit of peace & quiet to get stuff done. <em>Tanya to the rescue!</em> This sign is 13" x 18" canvas ideal for popping on his door when he wants to make some business calls. I used multiple layers of scrap material (phone directory, london a-z, boarding passes, bus/train tickets, pattern tissue, fabric,patterned envelope inserts etc.) some doodles, gel medium transfers and a hell of a lot of gesso. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">...it has been an age! Time has totally spun by since Mr Charlie made his appearance 19 months ago. Its been an exciting, demanding and wonderful time, first getting to grips with motherhood, then moving to the U.K. and making it our home. I'm learning new stuff about Charlie all the time and loving him more and more with every new day. I've never known happiness like it, it feels like i've evolved in some way. So here he is, my little dude enjoying a bit of brunch with his snap happy mammy. I promise I'll be popping in from time to time to show you some stuff I've been working on, my creative mojo is finally resurfacing ;)</span></div>
