Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Here is a picture of my dog as an angel:

Also I will take the opportunity to show off the gift that I made for my Jess this Christmas:

It is a ~35cmx35cm tile portrait.
I went down to the local tile shop, picked up 9 white tiles. Then, I decoupage glued tissue paper with a photo-shopped image printed onto it to each tile. I then mounted it onto a board that I had just painted black. and voila! Tile portrait. The red of Jess's glasses didn't turn out as vibrant as I would have liked, but I'm pretty pleased with it nonetheless.

Some Stencil Portraits

I love creating portraits of people (or animals) using stencils.

I take a photograph that I like and use Photo Shop to design a stencil based on it.

I then print it off, cut it out, and apply paint, creating these (in my opinion) lovely art works.

All art is more lovely when you've made it yourself. And the beauty about these is that you don't need to be great at drawing, all you need are a few photo shop skills.
