Over the Easters school holidays I got busy creating again!
I painted and painted, then I tried something a little different too, which you’ll see when you scroll down a little…
I figured I’d try out using my old beautiful wallpapers in collage/scrap form as backgrounds for my paintings. I layered them, and painted swirly designs over them, before painting on them.
It was a fun twist to my usual paintings ~ sticking with my gowns but changing them up a little by this extra step, while using some gorgeous papers too.
My favourite gown painting so far ~ the inspiration for this one was “Design the wedding dress I’d want to wear if my wedding was now”
I’m going to add these to my Etsy shop tomorrow. I’m going to aim for a shop update time of 1pm Australian Eastern Standard time….which is 11pm US Eastern time, 7pm Pacific time…and so on.
Hope you like them!
