A Warm Welcome

Well, Hello there!

I find myself with another new piece of art to share and debating whether to post it now....or save it for a dry spell.......
WHAT?!
Me, delay gratification?!  Me, not go to a party when I have a good reason to attend?! (Paint Party Friday, that is ;P)  Me, wait?!

Heck no! Especially since PPF is celebrating a whole year of creative partying!!
This'll make 3 posts in 1 week....almost unheard of around here!

So here is another reclaimed book cover 8.5 inches square....gessoed and painted over.

I cut out the cup shapes from patterned paper, used lace trim and vintage buttons on the bottom edge and crackled the tabletop.

I just love crackled anything!

Acylics, prismacolor pencils and ink make up the bulk of supplies used here.

I think this would make such a sweet Housewarming gift :)

It is waiting in my shop, if you know a good home for it.

Well, thank you for stopping by!  I hope you know you are always welcome :)

And please check out the other Paint Party Friday entries for this week!

Wonderful weekends to you all!

Humpty Dumpty Returns!

....at least the last 3 pages of his book are!
I acquired his tired and torn pages from my daughter's school, if you remember...

You can refresh your memory, if need be, at this post here to see how I prepared the pages and what not...

I decided to finish out the book with little paintings done with the same feel.
Since the last one was for coffee lovers, I decided to dedicate one to all the tea drinkers out there :)

This one is obviously called "Cuppa Love".

 It features real string for the tea tag that is adhered only to the rim of the cup so it dangles free :)

I love that some of the original illustration shows through on the other side.

The last 2 pages reflect a bit of a cupcake craze I went on recently.  Here's that post in case you don't believe me...

They just seemed like such a simple, happy thing to depict....and we all need a little happy sometimes, right?

A cupcake can do no wrong.......I know, I know, tell that to my thighs....

At least a painting of one is innocent enough ;)

Excuse my fingers in the picture!  It was a really windy day today...haha!

As you can see, manicures are just not in my budget....lol!

But, that's okay....because.....

I used Glossy Accents across the entire top of this one....and liberally applied glitter!

It's so neat how that glossy stuff looks when it dries....the glitter just seems to "float" above the painting :)

I wish there were more than just 4 of these pages.  The interesting shape was so fun to work with....

Cuppa is finding a home across the pond, but the Cupcakes are available in ye olde Shoppe :)

Thanks for taking the time to stop in today.....and I accept no blame for any bakery treats consumed after reading this post :D

Sweet thoughts and mugs full of smiles,
