Self Portrait Mind Blowing Bubbles

This is one of the pictures i entered to compete this year for a self portrait competition.  I didn't make the cut but i don't have any regrets as i stayed true to myself and what i love.  It is mixed media and the competition gave me the push to do a self portrait so i am grateful for that here is onto the next competition hopefully that one will be more successful.  This is not perfect but either am I.  I put in the photo i worked off of so you could see what the real me looks like :)

Running to the Second Hand Shop

Hi all i have not blogged in a while cause i am as busy as a bee trying to keep on top of my creating to get things done so i can achieve what i want in my head for next year.  Here is a sneak peek of one of my pictures from the new magically overactive imaginations next exhibition.  I'm going to let my boyfriend keep this one and just exhibit it instead as he took a shine to it but as always loads of hidden meanings hope you like it im so excited about the rest of them too.

Handmade Journal Covers

Here are two journal covers i made the top one i made for a friend for her birthday and the one below is one i made from myself i just used cardboard and toilet roll and glue i was delighted with the results and makes drawing in them more appealing hope you like them :)

Yin Yang Beans

The top bean is called Yin and the bottom bean is called Yang i drew the first drawing earlier today when i was in a bit of my usual erratic mood and threw it in the bin cause it irritated me looking at it so i had the same idea and drew the second one when i was in a more relaxed mood but i went back to the bin as i felt bad throwing out the first one but they reminded me of the two sides to my personality one does be all over the place and the other can be nice and calm ha ha it can be unusual what comes at times hope you enjoy them.

The Big Plunge

I have not drawn on black paper in ages so said id do it today I find i am always hoping all over the place with everything as i get bored so easily but i suppose variety is the spice of life. This poor little fellow is going to try get his eye plunges out because he see's too much i,m beginning to think that i am watching a bit too much of The Soprano's at the moment he he.

A Happy Lappy

This picture here is done to show how words can be misused how something once could have been so innocent and was took to name something a bit more sinister so i wanted to show what ya see is what ya get. For a person who would not know anything this is what would probably come into their head on first thought the image is doing what the word says.

The Let Me Be Tree

This is just a quick doodle i did in my new journal i am enjoying working with pencil and text as i love little rhymes and poetry so its nice to use this method with my other love drawing hope you like it.
