Second attempt at drawing a mandala, not exactly sure if this is strictly a Mandala,but it's pretty and I had a very relaxing time drawing it.<br />
<br />
It has been drawn on an A4 sheet but I went past the edges so they got cut off a little on the sides. Better planning required here I think for the next one. <br />

<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love looking at the intricate designs in mandalas. Since joining the facebook group Ornation Creation, I've branched out a little in my pattern making and started playing around with the concept of drawing mandalas, I have to admit, I do cheat a little by using a compass and sometimes a ruler but as you can see, most of this is hand drawn with all my wonky lines.</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is the first Mandala I've done without using a template. I loved the way it looked in just black ink, but adding a splash of red just lifted it brilliantly. Instead of taking a photo, I scanned this as a jpeg on my printer, it's great, no shadows from a lousy photographer (me)!</span></b></i><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Another of Norma J Burnell's amazing tangled fairies this time with a gorgeous baby dragon! I love doing these using rich colours, I'll have to try doing a pastel one soon. I took the liberty of drawing some smaller scales on the baby dragon with a mulitliner as it looked a little strange to me that the legs didn't have scales. Hope that isn't a problem. </span></i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm a little disappointed in the liquid pearls used on her dress, the larger ones stayed in peaks rather than rounding off a little, possibly my lack of technique in applying them!</span></i></b></span><br />

<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hello,</span></span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></i></b>
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As you know, I've been playing around with Zentangle Inspired Art for some time, no lessons, just finding tutorials on line. I've found a Facebook group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/171809746345318/?fref=nf" target="_blank">Ornation Creation</a> where Ben Kwok has provided some templates for tangling. I usually try to freehand but find that challenges me and I've loved the intricate designs of mandalas so when I found the mandala templates, I've been playing!</span></span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></i></b>
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I printed this one onto copic blending card and after tangling with a multiliner, I added a little bit of colour with copic markers. Usually I prefer my tangles to be just black on white or white pen on black, but I'm happy with the monochrome on this one.</span></span></i></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">This is another beautiful image from Norma J Burnell, stunning Tangle Fairies. This one is called Dreamer and she does have some butterflies surrounding her on the original image, I wanted to put her into an art journal page so needed to trim around her.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">The background is acrylic paint with champagne metallic rub around the edges and on the dragonflies. The stunning Dreamer image is coloured with copics, I kept to plum, mustard, blue and gold with a tiny touch of green on some leaves. I felt that such an intricate design required minimal colours to allow the Norma's digi art to show through more. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">While Zentangle (trademarked) or the other variety of this more loosely called Tangles is an art form that anyone can do, combining them with such amazing drawing talent the way Norma does is so much more unique. I'm certainly in awe and so grateful that I can purchase her digi's to colour. She has inspired me to open my copic markers again and for that I am grateful too.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></span>

Wow, I can't believe that it's been 6 months since my last post here. That's amazing how quickly the time passes by.<br />
<br />
I've been crafting and I have posted a few things on my facebook page Paisley Wings, but not done much here. I think I should remedy that!<br />
<br />
I've moved my studio around and have now taken over the family room, it's fabulous! Open, lots of room to move around a central creating space with a bench backing my desk, PC beside the desk so I can check out you tube tutorials and learn and try new techniques. Lots of open shelving storage that kinda needs a little more TLC so no pics at the moment.<br />
<br />
In the move, I got inspired to crack open some copic markers which have been sadly neglected while I've been playing around with art journals, acrylic paints, Dylusions and Lindy's stamp gang sprays, stencils, lumiers, stemple paint, stamps, papers, embossing, die cuts oh the list goes on. So many things to play with and never enough time!<br />
<br />
One of the things I've been promising myself was to get my hands on some of Norma J Burnell's amazing art work. Her Fairy Tangles are amazing. Here is one I completed. the photo doesn't show the shimmer on the dragonfly wings so they look unfinished here, but trust me they are so shimmery. <br />
<br />
I think I need some more practice as it's been ages since I've played with the copics. Gee that's gonna be hard......LOL<br />

<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">It's a very true thing about pretty words not always being true, think of people who use flattery as manipulation. And then there are the friends or family who tell you a truth that it a little on the blunt side but something that while you may not have liked hearing it, it was something that did you good in the long run. These are the things I thought of when I saw these words. </span></span></b></i><br />

Hi there, I had another play around with my inktense pencils and another one of Teri Sherman's beautiful images 'Earth Mother' and I put the Driftwood Frame around her.<br />
<br />

I used a silver Lyra watercolour pencil over the top of the gray inktense on the fame to give a slight luminescent quality to the frame. Still working on technique, I think I'll have to do some research on these as I'd like to get more/better shading on the skin areas.<br />
<br />
Hope you like her.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

My! they are awesome pencils to use, I found that I was probably a little heavy handed and I need to do lighter layers to deepen the colours. Love these pencils, they are so creamy to apply and then the colour is so intense when you add the water. Gorgeous!</b></i></span></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hi all, It's been a while since my last post, I've been working on a special project for a lovely lady. Tanya, my hairdresser is such a sweetheart. I love visiting her salon, the girls are all awesome. </span></i></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I decided to make a mixed media canvas and asked Tanya to provide me with some paraphernalia. I also went and got some extra pins, clips, bling and flowers.</span></i></span></b><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Tanya supplied a pair of scissors! insisting that they are past their prime, boy they may not be the best for hair but I'd love to use them in my craft room they were so sharp and felt amazing in my hand, possibly due to them costing a fortune. Still they needed to go on the canvas and as they are solid metal, they are a little heavy so I tied them on with some silver cord, I didn't think glues would 'cut it' (pun intended!)</span></b></span><br />

Hello friends, I've been very lax in posting here over the past few months, I wouldn't blame you if you removed me from your follow list! If you're still with me, thank you for your patience.<br />
<br />
I have been busy creating though and here are a few of the items that I've been working on.<br />
<br />

This mixed media canvas was sent to a lovely friend who lives over 3000 kilometres away from me. Another friend visited and took these home with her. I know this canvas is sitting on Karen's craft room wall. I love the way the butterflies pop out of the canvas, they are flat, but look to 3d. Acrylic paint background with lots of lovely texture from stemple paint and modeling paste<br />
<br />

This canvas needed to be blokey all the way, this was created for my brother who works on heavy earth moving equipment for a living and owns 7 motorbikes, 4 of them he's rebuilt and he's working on the other three. He was stoked when he saw it and was pretty impressed that it had been one in two days as I had asked him if he wanted some original art for Christmas and I explained what I sort of had in mind.<br />

<br />
Last but not least is this journal page I created from this gorgeous Bo Bunny paper, I'd been eyeing it off at my local scrapbook shop for ages, and I finally caved and bought some.<br />
Love how it turned out.<br />
<br />
All the very best creating in 2014.<br />

<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Hello there friends, I've been playing around with some pages and not yet added any text, perhaps I won't as I really like the way the pages look now.</span></span></b></i><br />

<br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">With this first page I was going for an all white look which ended up being pearl and gold, but you know how these things just flow and what you set out to do sometimes takes an unexpected turn. I've used gesso and then some trim string and lace dasies and butterflies. The pages were painted with a irridescent paint finish which turned the stark white of the gesso to a rich pearly sheen. I thought I'd just add a little bit of colour with some Gold.</span></span></b></i><br />

While not quite old enough to remember this song, it was released in 1962, I do remember it being played on the radio.<br />
<br />
The song Little Boxes was released by Malvina Reynolds, here is an excerpt from wikipedia. <br /><br />
The song is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_satire" title="Political satire">political satire</a> about the development of <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suburbia" title="Suburbia">suburbia</a> and associated <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformity" title="Conformity">conformist</a> <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle-class" title="Middle-class">middle-class</a> attitudes. It refers to suburban <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tract_housing" title="Tract housing">tract housing</a> as "little boxes" of different colors "all made out of <a class="extiw" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ticky-tacky" title="wikt:ticky-tacky">ticky-tacky</a>",
and which "all look just the same." "Ticky-tacky" is a reference to the
shoddy material used in the construction of housing of that time.<br />
<br />
<br />
When I started to create this page, the song came to mind.<br />
<br />

I'm still on my creative journaling path and have been having lots of fun playing around with different mediums and textures.<br />
<br />
Normally, I'd cover the pages with inks or sprays or acrylic paint, this time I decided to leave some white space and just freehanded some lines in Magenta, Cobalt Blue and Lavender The hearts are punched out of canvas which I got in a stack like you buy watercolour paper. It's awesome thickness and texture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Personally, I think the blue stamped hearts get a bit lost on the background as it's quite bold.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I thank you for taking the time to stop by.<br />

I had a lot of different ideas for this two page spread but as with a lot of things when you're creating, it took on a life of its own and I ended up with a neon page!<br />
