Still painting!! still doing miniatures, this time placing them into pendants.
Just opened the shop with this one!
We have a pair of nut hatches visiting us each day,so had to paint this little bird.!! x

Nuthatches are really sweet birds Jeanie and yourā€™s are beautifully doneā€¦
welcome Elizabethā€¦seeing those tools reminds me of when I did lino cuttingā€¦all I can say is ouchā€¦a bit like needlefeltingā€¦a dangerous hobbyā€¦lolā€¦great work.
Waving Hazelā€¦we donā€™t have any snow and havenā€™t had anyā€¦(yet)ā€¦right now we have blue skies and sunshine.
Waving Stephieā€¦looking forward to seeing your cubist art.
Waving Sueā€¦I looked at one of your listings last nightā€¦I think it was one of the poppies and there was no size givenā€¦people will want to see what size the painting isā€¦sorry I canā€™t remember exactly which painting it was but might be worth checking out.(knowing me, it might even be there somewhere, but best to be sure)
Having no car for a week is proving goodā€¦I have just done another 5 aceosā€¦here is one of themā€¦i thought I would try some snow drops.

Sue, the one without sizing is the poppies print wall artā€¦ There might be others as this is the only one I looked at last nightā€¦definitely canā€™t see any size listed.

Thanks Brenda!
Lovely snowdrops.

Awwwh thanks Brenda for letting me know about the poppies not having a size, I will get on to it now, I really appreciate you letting me know, thanks

Sue

Borrowed a crocus egg cup by Clarice Cliff, I didnā€™t know about her crocus designs.
Lovely to work with flowers on winter days.

Hi everyone!
Today must be a day for being inspired by flora and fauna - gorgeous work! :slight_smile:
Iā€™ve been creating my first truly mixed media ACEO. I used felt, acrylics, paper, tissue and cotton canvas to create these snowdrops.

Lovely snowdrops Brenda and Pam, and pretty crocuses Matt.

I didnā€™t get time to do a cubist aceo but there are a few in my head, no doubt theyā€™ll come out over the weekend.

Welcome back Tessa, did you have a good holiday?

Awesome poppies Hazel, they look great double mounted like that.

Matt I really love the style of that crocus egg cup, so colourful too.

Welcome back from your hols Tessa, from what Iā€™ve seen on FB itā€™s been wonderful!

Pam, I do admire your mixed media snowdrops, Iā€™ve never attempted anything like that, I donā€™t think Iā€™m creative enough.

Lovely doggie Stephie, looking forward to seeing those cubist ACEOs!

Gorgeous butterfly Max.

Yes it was lovely thanks Stephie. Lots of sunshine, some chocolate themed events, some swimming and walking and a bit of painting.
All weā€™ve had had here was a flurry of snow this am but itā€™s melted already. ( thank goodness) If my grand daughters were very quick there may have been enough for a snowball.
