Mikayla's finished ornament 05/01/2012
The finished ornament I painted for Mikayla, my beautiful granddaughter.     I glued Christmas-themed craft paper onto a Papier-mâché box and used double-sided tape to attach the ribbons halfway up each side of the box.   IT'S A WRAP! Add Comment Mikayla's 2nd Christmas ornament 18/12/2011
I decided to make a start on Mikayla's (my granddaughter) 2nd Christmas ornament. Last year, Mikayla was only a couple of weeks old on Christmas day....my, how the time has flown. 
First, a rough sketch using chalk pencil.
Second, first layer of acrylic paint.
Almost done.
Still a few little tweaks to go, then some snowflakes over the magenta background and acknowledgement to Mikayla....then I can call it finished.
~ Love, light and peace ~ A mug I covet.... 04/12/2011
This mug does not belong to me but every time I see it, I am taken in with it's colours and details. It actually belongs to my daughter and it was a gift from her sister-in-law. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to find one just like it. Pencil-free sketch using Pigma Micron & ZIG Millenium pens, Derwent Inktense water soluble pencils and Mungyo watercolour crayons in A5 sketchbook.  A STEP BY STEP ILLUSTRATION  ~ Love, light and peace ~ Summer has arrived! 04/12/2011
I have carried this post over from my other blog - Art by Serena Lewis - as the official start to this new blog here on my own domain. YAY! December 1st was the official start to our Aussie summer. Thankfully it wasn't a scorcher and we were even blessed with a little rain. Bradley and Reece had a blast at Elton John's concert on Wednesday night (Nov. 30th)! Reece even managed to get a couple of Brad's CDs signed by Elton so that was a real highlight. Brad's voice was a little scratchy today which is fully understandable after all the screaming out and singing along he did at the concert. He also got to meet an internet friend, Darren. They met via the Elton John Fan Club site and they have been email buddies for a while now. Darren was also sitting in the front row at the concert and they finally had the chance to meet face-to-face....SO cool! I created a mosaic highlighting some of the sketches I did for November Art Every Day Month.  I meditated for 15 minutes today and hope to make it a daily practise. It's been way too long and I have missed it. Rita has taken on a 21 day meditation challenge so, while I haven't registered officially, I will be participating unofficially on the sidelines. I'm feeling so tired at the moment after only getting 3½ hours of sleep last night. The boys didn't get home from the concert until close to midnight and I had waited up to hear all about it. By the time I got to bed, it was around 12:30 and then I was up again at 4AM to get Reece organised for work. I'm looking forward to jumping into my cosy bed tonight. Love, light and peace ~ |
