Hey Doodle doodle!

 

I've finally got my act together and designed this fun new pdf project, yay for me!

 

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.

 

 

I've set the price real low so everyone can have the opportunity to make their own blooming bunting - the perfect project for a rainy day! Its available as an instant download which means that you don't have to wait hours before getting the file.  Just pop on into my shop for more details, and If you have any queries be sure to get in touch! I'd love to help :)

time to bloom! ;)

 

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 www.facebook.com/tanyamacart  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 ;)  

 

 

i'm a colour catastrophe...

You know i could happily doodle the day away, but recently my colour choices have gone a bit wonky!. Perhaps my art muse has gone on a kaleidoscopic trip or do i procrastinate too much? I've a bunch of pretty nice drawings done and i'd like to find 5 lovely colours to that suit my style and represent springtime. What do you reckon - am i getting close? what colour scheme rings your bell? i'd love to hear from you ;) 

a springtime surpise....

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. 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.

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 ;)

Happy friday!
