I have just been looking at one of the blogs I follow Sharon Whitley who has done a brilliant card for her brother's 40th birthday, of him on his bike in all the cylcists gear and going at a helluva speed! Also today I bumped into a friend of mine who has become a great grandmother, I can't believe it, I think she is kidding me. These two incidents reminded me of some cards I have done for people close to me who have had babies and cards that I painted for them. I so enjoyed doing them. Here they are:-
They were all 5.1/2" x 4" on rough paper. I put the babies names on the trainers, initials on the booties, in the bubbles. It was such fun researching subjects and miraculously I liked each one. I stuck them on coloured card in the obvious blue and pink. Can't wait to do the next one in the New Year for my nephew and his wife. I hate doing anything twice, so I will have to get my thinking cap on.
Been having a rant about contemporary art at Liverpool on my other blog pollyluv's painting and I'd love your comments. Don't want to go on about it here on my ' posh' site
Oh Polly these are all so adorable. I'm struggling to figure out which one I like best. I don't know about you but it gives me a buzz when I know I'm painting a special something for a friend. I'm sure they were delighted. Thanks for the tip to your friend's blog you left me. I will make sure Sharon knows about this too. She will be thrilled. Thanks for mentioning her lovely blog. It's one of my favourites too. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comments. It has been so exciting starting this blog, and to have someone comment on my work. Criticism I don't mind either so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again. I'll always think of you as my very first follower!
DeleteThese cards are all gorgeous Polly, very, very special, and something to treasure forever - I love the trainers ... and the fish, well all of them! and thank you so much for giving my blog a mention, art was also my best subject at school but once I left school I didn't do anything until 2 years ago and like you it has given me so much to be thankful about - I'll be following your blog like mad!
