Busy Weekend.

What a weekend! It's Sunday night now and we're all tired in this household. I've managed to fit so much in this weekend, lots of family time, kids swimming lessons, park trips & lots of art and creative time for me :)

Friday night involved watching some tv with Brent whilst I had a wine and painted some undercoat layers on some canvases. I think having a wine made me a bit more free with the painting... kind of along the lines of 'be brave, be bold' which my art tutor tells us :) It's not often I paint at home, apart from my 2.5 hours every Wednesday night, but I think since I have started this blog it's made me more aware to keep creating.. *go me* haha.

I was hating on one canvas I've recently started, so I pulled out some mod podge, some hot pink, magenta, gold & white paints and an old magazine. This is the old canvas I started with:

 

 

 Here's the final product with a bit of 'beautifying' from an iphone app. I shall call this print,

Kate the Great

 



 



Final two canvases primed and layered up ready for something to take over:

 

 

For lunch today, we went down to South Molly park for a picnic lunch with the kids and a play. Here's a shot from the park:

 

 

 

So we wore them out well and truly; both having a big two hour nap thisafternoon *Woo!* This gave me some time to be a little creative at my workbench doing some jewellery :) Here's a few items I came up with today whilst the kids had a sleep.

 

 

 

So I've definately added enough arm swag to keep me going :)

 

I was planning on this one for my mum, but she is a gold wearer, so might keep this one for myself and work on her present ;)

 

 

This is a 38 inch necklace, sits nice and long.

 

 

And that's about it for the weekend, very productive on the creative side and lots of fun with my family. I hope all of you had a great weekend too. For now, I'm off to bed, ready for another busy week ahead.

 

Night,
