Easy splatter paint Christmas cards....

Picture






​




Love this quick and easy Christmas card design!

Cut out a Christmas tree shape, place either the cut out piece (left) or the piece with the hole (right) on top of a white card.

Then use a toothbrush to splatter paint on the card to get the cool result shown on the bottom. Add a little finishing touches and you're done.

Bubble wrap painted tree idea....

Picture

​Super fun when I come across a new design to try! Special thanks to @maremi_simple_craft for sharing this fun video. I'm always excited to try bubble wrap art ideas.

First attempts always lead to improvements. Not overly keen on the way the green turned out with this bubble wrap art so I'm going to wait for everything to dry and then I'm going to add spots of red on the bubble wrap and place it on there again. And then maybe I'll even do yellow after that. We'll see how it goes. It's always a trial and error effort when you doing something new.

​Bubble wrap watercolor Christmas trees. Hmm not sure I'm a fan. Maybe my color choices were the problem?? When all else fails bling it up with some glitter. Will I make more of them?? I think not. Too many other designs I have much more fun making and get more satisfaction from.

Hand crafted Christmas cards....

It's Christmas in July .... well at least for my art creations. Time to get some stock on hand for the fall market season. Have been working on sea glass Christmas trees and wreaths and now I'm starting to paint some Christmas cards. I love this idea of using a toilet paper roll to outline oval ornament shapes.

Christmas trees....

Picture









​


5 days into building my sea glass Christmas trees. I form them around the jars and white candles then the completed trees will be hollow which allows for twinkle lights to be put inside. They look soooo pretty lit up - especially with multi color lights in the white trees.

Believe it or not I feel like I'm running out of my light green glass.

Christmas wreaths....

Picture
​Completed the first of my sea glass Christmas wreaths. They are small wreaths - only about 15 cm. across. I added a few small red and white beads just to add a little color and I had enough solid white pieces of glass to create the bows.

Gift giving made easy....

Picture
Love my Redbubble store! It allows me to send gifts of my art anywhere in the world. I just sent this blanket to my Goddaughter's new baby. Really pleased with the quality of the products coming out of Redbubble. This design was originally created as a greeting card.

I love that I create one design and then it's available in many different formats in the store - phone cases, mouse pads, shower curtains, clothes, blankets and so much more. It's a great source for gift giving for me since I live so remotely from everyone I love.

Trees and wreaths....

Back from vacation and right back into my art again. I'm trying to build up a collection of sea glass Christmas trees and wreaths before the fall selling season begins.

Some fun Christmas suncatchers....

Picture









​While I wait for the glue to dry on the sea glass Christmas trees that I'm building, I am working on more suncatchers to replenish my supply. I'm using some acrylic discs to create fun Christmas suncatchers or tree ornaments - however you wish to enjoy them.

What's with the name....

Picture
​What's with the name?!?! I often get asked that. Here's the story behind the name.....

7 years ago I had NO IDEA that there was an artist lurking within me. In early 2018 I was introduced to an artist on Instagram ​from Australia who makes the most beautiful art by putting dots on rocks. I looked at it and was truly inspired. I thought how hard can it be to put dots on a ROCK . I had never felt that I was artistic at all but this woman has changed me forever! So I began.

In late 2019 my sister in law introduced me to another Instagram person who is a famous coloring book illustrator. Drawing is another thing I didn't think I could do but thanks to the inspiration I received from this woman I picked up a pencil and PAPER and have discovered that I actually can draw.

Since then I have expanded into many different ART forms including creating cards and artworks with sea glass, wine bottle wind chimes, mobiles with the beach walk treasures I find and painting etc.

    Who knew there was an artist lurking within? Certainly not me.

    It started with my Mom giving me some paints that she wasn’t using but I never did anything with them because “I wasn’t artistic” - according to myself. We really need to learn to have a kinder inner voice because I have discovered that apparently I am artistic.
     
    In early 2018 I was introduced to an artist on Instagram ​from Australia who makes the most beautiful art. I looked at it and was truly inspired. I thought how hard can it be to put dots on some rocks. I had never felt that I was artistic at all but this woman has changed me forever! So I began and since that time I have started following even more rock artists to inspire me.

    In late 2019 my sister in law introduced me to another Instagram person who creates coloring books. Drawing is another thing I said I could never do but thanks to the inspiration I am receiving from this woman and through various social media sources I have discovered that I actually can draw.
     
    So the lesson is....you never really know what you are capable of until you actually try it! Never say never, I can’t etc. to yourself. Obviously I have to change my words and thoughts from - "I'm not artistic" and "I can't draw" to.....
    ​"Cool something new! Let's give it a try and see where it goes!" And now when people ask me what I do I say - I am an Artist!
     
    I look forward to expanding my creativity. Thank you for your interest and support.
