Mixed Media Mini Canvas

I just wanted to share one of the mixed media canvases that I made using a http://stencilgirlproducts.com/  stencil, I don't remember the name but it's a stencil of small gears and very detailed.
I lost a lot of the nice detail because I used Martha Stewart textured metallic specialty finish, I don't feel it was the best product to use but the results are not bad, just less detailed. The finish is a gritty metallic bronze color, once it was dry i added some green acrylic paint for a patina effect.

Website

My new website is now up!! My fantasy art and mixed media canvases are on one site together with links to my shops and youtube videos!  www.bludragonart.com  I also have an Etsy shop, it's new to me but I think this will be better than ebay. http://www.etsy.com/shop/BluDragonArt

Scrap With Stacy

Mandala

I made this today for Craig's office. He doesn't want it for his office so I hung it behind my desk. I used bits of washi paper and other paper I have around. Then I stitched between the pieces with different colors of thread and finished with the gold tread.

Henna Design

My latest henna designs. Sorry the pictures are not in order. Shown is my hand with the henna paste still on, then wrapped up by Craig so I could sleep with it on. Then the pics with the paste removed *after* about a day. When the paste was first removed the designs were more orange. They also darkened further. This was my first time using eyeliner to work out my design before applying the henna.

Large Painting Post

I have been through a lot in the last few years, got married, had a major surgery and 3 more after that, and my mom passed away. My painting was put on a far back burner. These paintings are the few I painted in the last few years 08-11.

Giant Cupcake!

I made this huge cupcake for my husband's birthday with a baking set my mother in law got for me. The cake is marble cake, there's a space in the center thats filled with fudge pudding made with less milk so its thick. The blue "wrapper" is done with fondant that I dyed blue, and the sprinkles are huge sprinkles I found in the baking section of a craft store. This was the first time I ever used fondant.

Painted Doodles

Just trying watercolor with my doodles. Some of the colors are a bit metallic or sparkly and that doesnt show up in the photos.

Mermaid Painting

Mermaid Painting

My newest painting, i dont have a title for it yet. Done in watercolor on hotpress paper. This is just a quick pic taken with my phone.

Zentangle or Zendoodle

Just playing around with tangles.

Cake Pops aka Cake Balls

I saw these on the site Craft Gossip and just had to try making them. The inside is choc. cake mixed with choc. fudge frosting and then dipped in white choc. and sprinkled with blue sugar. Theyre yummy and look pretty =) The photo was taken by my husband with the iphone 4.

New Henna Tattoos

I decided to go with a fish theme this time >}}}}}> The blue color that can be seen a bit is from the transfer paper. I transfered some of the major design elements and then did the rest freehand. I like the koi on my palm but im not too thrilled with the waves by its tail. Ah well, live and learn. After i finished my design and it dried i sprayed it with lemon juice and sugar that i mixed and added to a spray bottle. Then Craig wrapped up my hand. Im really happy how it came out =) Ill probably glue some gems on the eyes of the fish on the back of my hand.





Craig did a great job of taping up my hand to keep the henna paste on while i slept. I also put a large sock over my hand to keep it warm. Heat helps the stain, or so ive read.





This was taken this morning after about 9 hours of having the henna paste on, its already gotten darker and will continue to darken over the next two days.

Stars!!

Ive become a bit obsessed with nautical stars. The star inside the circle with flowers is inspired by a dream I had.

More Doodles!

I snapped some quick pics of these new doodles. Its easy to tell how henna tattoo designs have influenced my work. Ive also started playing with a bit of color.

Ogim Art !!!!

This is what I worked on this afternoon. I bought those Keller Creations panel pieces a while ago and never made anything with them. I also planned on making a scrapbook when we got Ogim but never did. Hes a year and 4 months and i had more fun making those panels than scrapbooking.

Hand made cards ...

I belong to two wonderful yahoo groups, Card Crafting Divas and Happy Stampers, and we swap cards with each other. These are a few recent ones that ive made.
