Compass and circles abstract screen prints

My latest series of hand-pulled screen prints features brightly coloured circles overlaid with an image of a victorian pair of compasses from my ever useful book of victorian images.

Each one of these prints is totally unique so you won’t find another one the same!
Available from my etsy shop now, A4 at £25 and A3 at £30+p&p.

Shrink plastic mini flowers

These tiny flowers are made from shrink plastic, both clear and white coloured. I cut them out using various flower punches, and coloured either the back or the front with watercolour pencils or coloured permanent pen. The flowers start out about 15mm big and when heated with a heat gun shrink to about 6mm and the coloured pencil or pen shrinks down too making the colour more vibrant!
I'm pleased with the effect, however the process can be a bit fiddly!

More owls

I've modified my owls in a tree image, so I can have a zoomed in version, which I plan to frame and put up in the stairway next to the whole tree of owls :)

An artist I like

This guy's work is so cool, thought I'd share, in case any one else likes it too! I wish I could come up with something like this, I am jealous as I so often am!

Owl Collage

I decided to create a new Owl collage using coloured paper on board. I used a themed paper pack I had bought based on birds. I rather like the autumnal colours.

Mood Boards

I havn't done a mood board since college, so it seems like a good place to start before I make my next batch of cards :)

Flowers in a box

My latest creation is a little garden of flowers in a box frame. I punched the little blooms out of floral paper and then embellished them using beads and sequins. The free standing flowers are suspended on pieces of tiger tail.

New Floral Creations

This weekend I had a floral extravaganza and made these cards and tissue holders, I love the pretty patterns and flowers.





I got some pretty fabric and made some elegant tissue holders, great gifts if I do say so myself!


I also made some birthday cards using my new flower punches and some floral papers, quite successful I think.

Highrise

This is my latest Illustrator creation, the building is part of a drawing of a futuristic building design by an italian guy called Antonio Sant'Elia, who was killed during the first world war. I find his sketches inspirational and so I created this abstract piece.

Raffy

My latest kidrobot toy creation: Gem Raffy. Created using approx 400 coloured gems, he has markings like a normal giraffe but way more bling. Probably not very good at camoflage.

Butterfly House

Today I visited the Butterfly house at Longleat and took some lovely photos.

Abstraction Tutorial

This afternoon's activities included creating this image, inspired and assisted by this tutorial: http://www.computerarts.co.uk/tutorials/2d__and__photoshop/be_clear_through_abstraction I'm quite pleased with it but now feel rather drained!
