Multi-partner wall art swap

[IsikkahJai]

Woot! Got some takers! And I know it's a great way to expand skills and try new techniques. Plus, if it's a bi/monthly thing, we may get some new crafters who might be encouraged to try wall art media

  And woot again for me getting PM's about art being received!! I can't wait to see!!

How lovely and whimsical! I love the textures in the piece, especially the lace.

That's lovely!  I really like the lace, too.

I received a lovely package from fabricfriend. 

The package was wrapped in an old pattern instead of tissue paper.  Clever idea.
everything together


The painting - it's great.  I love it.


Extras - embellishments and a cute little matchbox mobile

I received from Alexampersandra today!


I love the embossed felt!  I love the shape of the tree!  The little birds are adorable!

And of course, the icing on the cake:

These are enormous!  I'm looking forward to gaining a few pounds tonite while I snack on these guys!

Everything is looking really nice! I love the red riding hood and the swirly abstract painting. What medium is it, fabricfriend?

[fabricfriend]

the swirly painting is a mixture of several different techniques. i took an on line workshop through strathmore last year taught by traci bautista-doodles unleashed. it uses stencil, stamps, paint, markers, ink and oil pastels. fun to make.

 I like how all the pieces are so unique! Everything is so nicely done. Can't wait to see more!

OMG---just received my art from FOXYBLUE, and I almost CRIED!
She made the most gorgeous, textur-y mask painting: and I can tell that she looked at my masks (i am a mask maker) to get a sense of my style, and then made something with the same aesthetic....

i am so HONORED that she made this for me! (and since this is my first swap, i am so in awe of the process: a stranger sends you beautiful handmade art...where else does this happen in the world other than craftster?! so appreciative)



this photo does NOT do the piece justice...gonna take a better one soon...just wanted to get the image up before i go to sleep

tons of texture and metallic sheen, tiny details (the background is made of decoupaged sewing pattern envelopes), and my favorite part is the wispy, barely-there white ties coming off the sides of the mask.

i love this so so so much! thanks foxy blue!
