Stone Painting

A little acrylic paint is all it takes to make these stones pop! My first trial with stone painting......

Doodles are fun - Part 2

Another attempt at doodling.

I cut 2 squares (one big and one small) and a heart shape from construction paper and doodled on them.Then I used a sewing thread to attach the pieces to each other. This one hangs from the ceiling of my living room now :)

Doodles are fun - Part 1

As Wiki says, " A doodle is an unfocused or unconscious drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class." :-)

Doodling is a wonderful way to relax. A pen and paper are all you need to doodle away. You can even do it while watching your favourite shows on TV and that's the best part for me :-)

These were drawn with black pen on the cardboard roll which came with the gift wrapping paper.

Lady of Music- Glass Painting

Glass painting can be used to create amazing decor for home. With a little patience glass and colours can be used to create unique art.

This is my first attempt at glass painting.

Materials used:

1. Black tube colour for outline design
2. Glass painting colours (I used water based colours)
3. Glitter glue pens (optional).

Method:

1. Place the design under the glass. They can be taped to the glass to avoid slipping.
2. Trace the image on the glass using the black outliner.
3. Allow the design to dry for 24 hours. Once it is dry use a craft knife to correct any mistakes made during the tracing. The knife can also be used to adjust the thickness of the lines. 

4. Start filling in the glass colours. The tube of colour itself can be used in fluid motion to fill in the colours. Ensure that there are no bubbles after applying the colours. Use a small needle/pin to pop the bubbles before the paint dries.
5. Allow the paint to dry completely.
6. Glitter glue pens can be used to highlight the painting.
7. If needed, crushed aluminium foil can be used behind the glass for a shining effect.

Frame the piece and you have your glass painting ready!!!
