Hi, Lovely images. I'm trying to think what they remind me of ....

I used to do a lot of painting but not for a while now. I do intend to start up again after getting some lovely comments on my blog.

Here is some of my work. you'll have to scroll down to 4th Feb

Persephone- hello! Love the paintings.. I think the mermaid is my favorite or the Kali one.. my painting is more erm abstract.. yeah thats it... though I do alot of sketching, doodles, and drawings... some of which are on my blog.. here

PersephoneSnape · 15/02/2008 20:10

tillyboo, lovely horses - I'm not very realistic, i do like yours - they have a nice nobility ( and super sweet miniyou) you should pursue it it's nice just to do it sometimes and have a sense of personal achievement.

i like those too meridian, very round and female - it's difficult to describe that - you have very pregnant work (..?..)

meridian! ahh! you're cupcake woman!! i saw those earlier in the week and didn't comment - they look droolsome!

meridian · 16/02/2008 09:16

yup I'm the cupcake woman... Jane of all trades.. master of none.. or something to that effect....recently I have been obsessed with trees... though not painted many.. well that and beads..

have you got a blog?

PersephoneSnape · 16/02/2008 09:35

i kind of started one here but it blew up on me. MUST make the effort/find the time. I've always been quite crafty when i have the time (ahahahah) i knit a lot...but it goes in phases. at the moment I'm in a painty phase...

meridian · 16/02/2008 09:50

I'm a terrible knitter.. I like to knit, just simple stuff, but everytime I try to do a pattern it just goes horribly wrong... right now i'm still in a beading phase, but i have been trying to sketch more as i have fallen out of the habit... I cook and bake alot too obviously forgot to put the specific painting link... though the pics aren't great you can see the abstracty-ness... I like to paint its relaxing playing with the colours at time.. but hyper realistic I have never been...

I am by no means a photographer and wouldn't even pretend that I am good at it lol but I do enjoy it and there are a few photos that I am rather proud of.

I've put them on my profile for you to have a look at.

I also make jewellery and play about with fabric.

Meridian and JeanGenie are great at photography imo.

purplemonkeydishwasher · 16/02/2008 10:18

meridian · 16/02/2008 10:24

Tillyboo · 16/02/2008 11:17

Some of my work is on my profile, still thinking about starting my own little business when boys are older, doing art work and revamping old furniture for kids rooms.

meridian · 20/02/2008 09:22

loopyredangel · 26/02/2008 10:15

thanks meridian I am now going to take the plunge when the boys are older and my back and pelvis are stronger. I am going to start my own business painting murals and canvas art for kids rooms.

oh! i really like that 'vanity' one vikki how do you find redbubble? do they take a huge cut? I normally sell prints through deviant, but want to branch out a little i think...

OP posts:

vixnpips · 18/03/2008 10:40

I personally like redbubble, it's free to join has a good community with like minded people always willing to help.
They don't take a cut, instead have a base price for a print, card etc and then you put on your own mark up... which is what you recieve when anything is sold.
Hope it helps x
And thank you for looking
