Painting Daisies on Hanging Hearts

Hearts and Flowers are on the agenda this week, not Valentine Hearts or Roses but turquoise skies and daisies. The daisy is one of my favourite flowers and I often paint one or two into my work, I put them on my Fairy Doors, on my Swirly Tree Paintings and now I have painted them on Hearts.

I picked 3 different sized mdf hearts to paint and chose bright pinks and turquoise for the background....

Turquoise & Pink Background on the Hearts

I painted a smidgen of green in the point of the heart and using a couple of different shades of green I painted flower stems and grass.....

I used my Daisy photo's as inspiration...

The backs of the Hearts have been left plain turquoise...

The finished Hanging Hearts

The large and middle sized Hearts have a pretty turquoise ribbon for hanging up and the smallest of the Hearts has a magnet attached.

I have put these in my Folksy Shop or if you would like something doing similar please contact me.

I'm planning on different colour and flower combinations, I'd love to hear what your choice would be?

I will be taking these to my next Craft Fair on Sunday, I usually do Craft Fairs on a Saturday so I'm not too sure how successful this one will be, oh well, I'll never know till I try so fingers crossed.

I'm linking this post to Handmade Monday so please pop over and join in the fun.

Take care and have a fun week

Toadstool & Daisy Diary Covers

Gosh, what a week, we have had lots of rain here in Suffolk, a bit ironic really, like a lot of the country  we have a water shortage and a hosepipe ban, I'm not complaining though, we need the rain and lots of it, but is it selfish of me to wish it would stay sunny all day and rain throughout the night?

Do you remember a while back, I won some fabric in a givaway and made a slip cover for my Diary and Address Book?

You can see the post about it Here

Well I finally got around to making some more.....



 The Slip Cover has a button fastening.......

Diary Cover

Can you tell that I like toadstools and daisies? This Design is one that appears in lots of my Plaques and paintings. I like the idea of matching book covers so I've also done Notebook and Sketchbook Covers  with a Fairy Door design but I'll show you them in another post.

A selection of Diary Covers

I have put these Diary Covers in my Folksy Shop and I plan to add more sizes and designs soon.

I'm off to check out Wendy's blog and the the linky party over at  Handmade Monday

Take Care
