More Altered Playing Cards....

Just thought I would post more of my altered playing cards that Ive been doing.  These are very easy to do and are becoming quite addictive!!  Im able to use up some of my embellishments that Ive got left lying around, like stickers etc.  Hope you enjoy them also.  I am offering workshops in my Jerrabomberra Studio if  you are interested. cheers Julie.

Altered Playing Cards....

The other day I was browsing through Pinterest (Looove Pinterest) looking to be inspired, and I came across the idea for creating some mixed media art using a deck of playing cards.  Now, we have heaps of old playing cards, as my youngest had a thing for them at one time, so I new there would be some laying around.  Anyway...I thought I would start altering my own deck.  So easy, quick and fun too!  I think I might make these my Affirmation Cards...I can keep them as a deck to look through or even use them in my journal books etc.

Above:  An old deck we got when we went to the States and stayed at San Fransisco.  These ones have some lovely  memories!

Above: First get some gesso and paint a few of them.....This is the worst part as they take ages to dry!  So make sure you do a few at a time!

Above: I had recently made my own stickers using parts of some of my abstract paintings!  Cool hey! (The are the semi circle bits on them).  I love an inspiring quote or affirmation too! I really just slapped some paint on and maybe stencilled something on too.  Something quick and easy. 

 Above: More paint, stamps, stickers I made (these were ones I just made from digital papers) and a butterfly.  Love my butterflies!

Above:  Again, I cut my handmade stickers in half, some paint, stamp, butterfly and a word.

Moonshadow....

Good evening...

Today, one of my latest artworks, 'Moonshadow', went off to its forever home!   This mixed media piece was painted with acrylics, glitter glue, metallic paint and papers...It measured 16 x 20 inch.  

Recently Ive been painting quite a bit using the colours purples, mauves and blues...which makes a lovely change from the colour pink (and aqua!) which I always seem to be drawn to!  I know I have quite a few purple lovers out there, and most artworks that I paint with purple predominantly in them, seem to sell quite well.

Hope you like this latest piece.   Remember, if you see something you like, and it has sold, I can always be commissioned to paint another similar.  Just email me on juliemryder01@gmail.com for further information.

Cheers

Julie :)

Productive week of painting....

Good evening everyone...

I had a sort of productive week with painting....I was able to finish off a large piece that I had started a while back, and I also completed a smaller mixed media painting today.

The Indian Head Dress idea had been floating around in my head for quite awhile, and finally came to fruition once I put some colourful layers on a canvas, and thought what now!  So I whipped out a lead pencil and did a quick sketch of that idea of an Indian Head Dress, and thought, why put something like it onto the canvas...and so, below, is the final masterpiece ;) The more I look at it, the more I like it.  I have used acrylic paints, pastels, scrapbooking papers, velvet paper, beads, recycled book pages and gesso.  It measures 16 x 20 inches.

This piece below titled 'When Magic Happens' measures 30 x 30 inch and I have used acrylic paints, paper, glitter and beads.  I had previously made one almost identical for a client but on a 24 x 36 inch canvas...I just love these colours!

New! Butterfly meadow.....

Good afternoon!
Here is one of my latest media media pieces I was able to finish off today...it is titled 'Rush' and measures 16 x 16 inch.  I have used acrylic paints, paper and glitter glue.   Any enquiries can be made to juliemryder01@gmail.com   Be quick though, as I might list it in my Etsy store as well. :)
