Alphabet Bunting

Art Every Day Month at Creative Every Day.

Almost complete on this piece based on my alphabet bunting painting. I just need to fine tune a few spots and add in some sparkle paint!  

These sweet bunting flags would be a cute personalized painting in your chosen colors with a child's name, family tree, husband and wife or simply a short saying. If you are interested in a personalized painting for a gift this holiday please contact me to discuss at krisfagan (at) cox (dot) net. I would be delighted to work on a cherished piece for you!

Alphabet Bunting

Art Every Day Month at Creative Every Day.

I started work this weekend on a made to order piece based on my alphabet bunting painting. I am turning up the brightness and changing the colors of the flags to match a little girls room.

As I was worked on this I thought about nicely this could turn into a cute personalized painting in your chosen colors with a child's name, family tree, husband and wife or simply a short saying. If you are interested in a personalized painting for a gift this holiday please contact me via email to discuss, krisfagan (at) cox (dot) net. I would be delighted to work on a cherished piece for you!

Making Jewelry

Art Every Day Month at Creative Every Day.

I really have been on a jewelry crafting kick ever since getting a batch of new beads (thanks again Jamie)! I knew what beads I wanted to use today and instead of starting blindly I thought it would be nice to browse some magazines for inspiration.

 

I stumbled upon The bamboo cutter's wife design by Molly Schaller in Stringing Fall 2010 and that inspired the bracelet.

 

Next I came across Tweet Wishes by Lorelei Eurto in Stringing Summer 2010 which inspired the necklace.

I am happy with the final piece thank goodness. I restrung the design over and over again before it finally felt right. I am grateful I found Lorelei's design to help guide me along. I have a tough time creating asymmetrical jewelry but, I love the look so much that every now and then its worth the extra effort.

An Angel

Art Every Day Month at Creative Every Day.

I decided to try drawing another figure, this time an angel. I'm not really happy with the facial features, those are so tough! It is nice to be creating something entirely new for me. I am using the book Dreamscapes: Creating Magical Angel, Faery & Mermaid Worlds in Watercolor by Stephanie Pui-mun Law as a guide.

A Mermaid

Art Every Day Month at Creative Every Day.

Last night I wasn't sure if I was going to create any art before bed but, at the last minute I pulled out my watercolor set and forced myself to paint something. A mermaid emerged. I don't paint figures often so I was surprised but, delighted that she showed up. xoxo

Drawing Bugs

Art Every Day Month at Creative Every Day.

My son took out a library book all about bugs and with that I promised the boys some bug drawing lessons this week. First up ... a praying mantis! I was short on time yesterday so, all I have to share with you is this little bugger. xoxo
