Funky Mosaic Mini Canvases

Hi ya, I know I haven't blogged in a week, purely because of being ill, but after 4.5 weeks the good news is antibiotics are working and I am feeling so much better :-).  Anyway today I am popping on to enter the Miniature Art over on the Paperartsy Blog and I have made paper mosaic tiles (1cm square) on 7cmby7cm canvases, plus on 1inch stampboard, I also found 2 pack of hoarded PA Crackly tissue paper so I also used that.  It all came from playing with my gelli plate and I loads of left over brayer card (which was on PA cardstock and crackly tissue paper), all of the paint I had used was Fresco (product list at the bottom of the post), mainly new colours which I was messing around with.  

I left them as is, I can't decide if to add words or if to leave them just like
this, bright and colourful.

These are what I started with and still have loads left lol.

Now this flower was using my stencil brush with my PA stencil, the other flower
on the other canvas was done first but I couldn't be bothered to get up
and grab my stencil brush, I soon changed that for this one as it never works
any other way for me lol. 

I did add black around the squares using my stabilo all pencil but I didn't like it so
luckily I managed to wipe it all off.















Right I better go and enter as it finishes soon.  I have really enjoyed playing with all the small squares and definitely think I might have another go.  Thank you so much for visiting.
Happy Art :-)

Unruly Paperarts - Irish Prayer

Good morning, hope your all ok.  Today I shall be sharing two DT pieces, one now and one later this evening.  So firstly it's time for the Unruly Paperarts March challenge and this month the inspiration board looks like this.


I decided to do a journal page dedicated to my dad, when I was 1 we moved to Southern Ireland and I lived over there until I was 8.  While over there my dad died when I was 5, it's really hard sometimes as I can't visit his grave as it's right down at the end of Ireland in a little village.  I definitely want to go there one day.  As always I have a few step by step pictures :-).
I would like to enter the following challenges -
Tuesday Throwdown - Anything Goes
Addicted To Stamps Challenge - Use a Number (dad's date he died)
Simply Create Too - St Particks Day/Mostly Green
Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
Crafting For All Seasons Challenge - Dies and/or punches (the hearts were die cut from sizzix die)

My mum always said to me when I saw a white feather, it was my dad
looking out for me by sending an angel who dropped a feather :-)

























Now for the step by step ................................


















Right I shall be off, will be back later on this evening.  Hope your Sunday is a crafty one.  Thank you so much for visiting and any questions on the step by step just let me know.
Happy ART :-)
