Beautiful Girls

Hello,
I've been very inspired lately. I wanted to do some more small canvases with some girls as the characters. I drew quite a few on watercolour paper and fell in love with them. They are so cute I couldn't not turn them into stamps. The stamps will be ready next week- you'll have first peek here!

With the originals I have been creating my canvases as intended. I've been collecting old books to use as collage elements and am loving some old dictionaries that I have found. Children's dictionaries are fantastic because the font is larger and sometimes there are even pictures.

I'm also in love with my watercolour crayons at the moment and am using them for a lot of my backgrounds. Bees wax is also too cool for school. I've covered the two canvases below with bees wax and it gives such a fantastic effect and protects the art.

I'll post step by step instructions over the next week with photos.

Below is 'Alice's Heart'. The words read 'My (heart) is with you always my beloved'.

And another, 'She Dreamt' words read 'She dreamt of her past as it reached out to remind her of who she truly is'.
I've had so much fun doing these pieces. There are even more planned and I'm looking into having prints made. The large painting is progressing well, she now has a castle and some grass. More photos soon.

Have a creative week and I'll be back soon to introduce you to the girls- I'm sure you'll love them to.
Sarah
