Link Love!

I finally decided to take the plunge and join Tammy from Daisy Yellow on her link-love mission.

Today Tammy suggests we link to 5 of our favourite tutorials… so here goes.

Julie’s blog is a constant source of inspiration and she has so many cool tutorials that it was difficult to choose just one, but I love the clever way this book is made from one folded sheet of canvas.

I love Effy’s raw honesty and the energy in her creative work. This journal is really cool, and so simple to make!

I just love the concept of this apron – combining the best of two aprons to make an amazing new creation!

I just found this really cool tutorial from Rae Missigman –

Plastic Fused Canvas and I can’t wait to give it a try!

I’m off to explore everyone else’s favourite tutorials now. I’ll be back with some new artwork tomorrow!

Kaleidoscope Mandala!

I have been busy painting and working on Rae Missigman’s 21 Secrets 2013 Class, but I have nothing to show yet, so I thought I’d share some digital playing instead. I was catching up with my reading list yesterday and came across this post from iHannah about creating digital kaleidoscope mandalas. Well – I just had to give it a try, didn’t I!

I decided to use my Face Emotions image as the source and had great fun playing. iHannah’s instructions are very helpful. I created four mandalas, but that wasn’t enough for me. After downloading the results I had to play digital blending to take it that little bit further! This is the result.

Thank you iHannah for the inspiration, and thank you SumoPaint for a nifty piece of software.
