All You Need Is Love ♥

I am completely in love with my felt painting 'All you need is love'

This is photo of the original all finished and stretched onto a frame, it is 55cm square.

The original is now for sale, please contact me if you are interested.

 I am super excited to have these cards with the design printed on, they are available in packs of 7 with a rainbow of envelopes, or individually with a choice of colour envelope.

 I also have them available as an Art print, professionally printed using semi archival inks on watercolour paper and ready mounted so all you need to do is pop it in a frame, stick on the wall and smile!!!!

This is a new direction for me and my work, so it's a teeny bit scary...... but I am so. so very happy with how these have turned out!!  Making cards and prints available means I can share my rainbows with a lot more of you......and thats what I want to do make you smile and fill the world with love and rainbows  ♥

Live for Today!

I love positive quotes, so I thought I would try my hand at using one of my own photos with these words. 

The photo of my hanging hearts was taken at Healing Ibiza at Atzaro, against a perfect Ibiza blue sky!  Not too bad for my first try - what do you think?

Fab Flea Markets

I've had a wonderful weekend mainly full of Flea market shopping - my favourite! I found all these lovely woolen jumpers which will be felted and upcycled into something fab like this cloud pillow, one I made from my last batch of woolen jumpers, some funky handmade felt and fringe trim.

Ok, I did buy a few things for me...the jumper at the top of the pile is mine and I managed to grab myself a wonderful pair of fringed ankle boots, well it is getting a bit autumnal here : )

Making Rainbow Mobiles

If you follow me on Facebook you'll know I've been working on rainbow mobiles recently.

I made the one above 3 years ago as a custom order for a lovely customer and since then I have been trying to design one to make available in my Etsy shop, I have had many requests for them and have a made a few others but never managed to get round to getting one in the shop.

Yesterday I spent the WHOLE day working on this, which is gorgeous if I do say so myself!!! But its huge.... too big for the average rainbow lover. And too complicated I just can't get it right, so back to the drawing board AGAIN!!

And hoorah I made one, a lovely plush rainbow with a shower of blue raindrops and not too big and not too complicated!!

BUT I do want to make one with clouds too so will be trying to design another one too and hoping that it doesn't take me three years this time - but hey good things are worth waiting for right??

 

Urban In Ibiza

Last night was a big event in the Ibiza art scene - Urban in Ibiza, held at the wonderful Atzaro. Like a mini festival with street art, fashion and music and the best bit for me live painting (although the smell of spray paints is not my favourite!)

 

 Here's my daughter walking down the red carpet at the entrance.

Live painting in the beautiful gardens of Atzaro.

 

This was a stunning artwork and I love the contrast against the beautiful vegetable gardens.

 I guess if I was a proper journalist I would have all the names of the artists, but I just took a few photos of my favourites!! You can always check out Urban in Ibiza's website for proper details : )

Cloud Pillows

 Hola, It's been a while again hasn't it!! Well I've been busy working on lots of new stuff and trying to survive the crazy summer heat. Ironically I have designed this cloud pillow, they are most definitely the only clouds around here at the moment!!!

These are the first 2 from the collection, one made completely with handmade felt and trimmed with silver tassle trim. The other is made from a upcycled felted wool jumper and trimmed with pink pom pom trim. I am so in love with these cute little pillows and can't wait to make some more.

The Rainbow Room in a 'Real Book'

How super happy am I to see my cloud mobiles in a 'real life book'.
The mobiles were used as props in a wonderful knitting book, Little Rascals by MillaMia. It looks like a beautiful book for hand knitters full of contemporary knits for babies and children - need to get myself a copy!!
