Playing with food (;

Hey guys (; 

I thought that maybe you might benefit from my art experiments. I mentioned in the last post that I wanted to make the piece textured, right? Well, before I even started, I was having fun with mixing food with paint (: yup you read it right, food ^^.  In the end I didn't even use any of them, you can read in my last post, why. So I thought they might be useful to you. I'm putting up some pictures in hope that maybe one will catch your eye and make you say "oh my gosh! That looks so cool! I wanna use it in my art! " (;   If you read the descriptions and wonder what the hell "kasza" means, we'll... Wonder no more because it's "pottage" or "barley" or whatever the name it has in English. I wrote it in polish simply because I didn't know the name for it at the time (:  

Bottles

Howdy people ;D 
Today I'm back with something a bit unusual. If you've seen what I usually do, this is going to be a style standing out a whole mile from my pieces. Well, I'm kinda still searching for my own style and this just poped into my head recently when I was staring at a shelf of hygiene poducts in the bathroom. Great place to get inspiration, right?^^     At first, I wanted to make it a textured piece, with stuff like rice, salt, coffe, etc, in my paint. This was to back up the idea of 'chemical reactions' going on inside the container which we can't really see. But, when I got to this stage which you can see down below on the photo, I thought it looked pretty cool already and any additional fun might ruin it. So I left it as it was and voilà (;  I love the colours on this though ♡ hope you do too^^ I can't wait to hang it on my wall (!).. stupid varnish takes ages to dry ^^

crochet doily

Heeyyy guys =]  I'm back with some crochet!   Found this lying about, not even finished.. What a shame I know ^^         I got it stiffened with starch and it's ready to be adopted (;   

Catching up (:

Hey everybody!^^ I realise that I neglected you slightly lately and I apologise. Now as I've got my exams over and done with, I'll try to post here a bit more often. Meanwhile, I was looking through my stash and I found some art that you didn't see yet. Enjoy (;

Woodcarver

Hey ;)  I got my entry back^^   Although I shouldn't be so happy becouse that means it didn't win but I'm glad they didn't bin it like they do sometimes. This was Texaco Children's Art competition. And the subject is a woodcarver of course ;) A person whom I know personaly and who tought me how to wood carve, last summer.  I thought it would be a very nice subject, don't you agree? ^^  Notice the warm colours :)  I intended them to convey passion and love for what he is doing  ;)  worked well I think ^^  This is acrylic paint if somebody is curious ;)

Vintage - woman sketch

This drawing is part of my leaving cert project.  The title is 'the vintage emporium' although it is not really that much obvious with the first glance.  It's only research anyway :)  Here it is..

Pencil sketch

Pencil sketch

Don't know why but I'm really into negative sketching lately. Hmm.  I drew these faces in a similar fashion as the balley. Instead of shade and dark, I drew light...  the result is probably a normal sketch luminated from the other side but ah well ;) Enjoy and get inspired ;* 

chalk sketch in negative

Another addition to my portfolio for a college. This sketch was done in white chalk on a page previously covered with black acrylic paint. I hope you recognise that the subject of the drawing is balley ? :)  I am in big trouble if you don't :/    :)  I fancied to do a negative this time.  It took me a week to sit down and draw it but when I did, it took me 5 minutes. Weird isn 't it ?  Well, I hope you like it. Enjoy ;)

Pyrography/ wood burning

 Today I fancied to do some wood burning or pyrography as it is also called. I aimed at my (jewelery to be) wooden box. Now it just stores charcoal but it seems I will have to change the content after what I burned on it :)    I  found this design on line but I will add some designs around the woman later on. It's enough for today :).


Dzisiaj naszło mnie na wypalanie drewna więc ozdobiłam swoją szkatulkę która mi sie gdzieś płątala po pokoju. Wzór znalazłam w internecie. Póżniej dodam jeszcze dookola jakies wzorki własnego pomysłu ale na razie starczy :)  Kiedyś znowu mnie najdzie to będe wiedzieć co robić. 

rope beading bracelet

In the meantime, I learned a new technique of rope beading ( I think that's what it is called..) . Well anyway, it's all about crocheting with beads on the thread. Very easy :)  I made a bracelet for myself and one for sale on Etsy.com if anyone is interested. I will put it up shortly.  I only made one photo so deal with it ^^  I will put up more soon.

W międzyczasie nauczyłam się nowej techniki szydelkowania z koralikami " rope beading" po angielsku (chyba).  Nawet dość proste :) Zrobiłam sobie branzoletkę tak na próbę. Jak zwykle wszystkie nieudane próby moge sobia zostawc na własność :") Zrobiłam jeszcze jedną *ładniejszą* i przy okazji *rozciąganą* na sprzedarz na Etsy.com gdyby ktoś był zainteresowany :) Niedługo opublikuję.

Apologies

Sorry for not posting anything lately :L My camera broke and so I cannot show you anything. I'll try to find my old one and post something as soon as I'll get it. Thank you for your patience :)

Przepraszam że tak nic nie publikuję ale zepsuł mi się aparat. Jak tylko uda mi się znależć mój stary to jak błyskawica polęcę pstryknąć dla was zdjęcie :)  Dziękuję za cierpliwość :]
