Today and yesterday I´ve been busy painting the house yellow. I think it looks quite nice and I love this warm color yellow. Especially now that winter is coming, it gives a more warm feeling.
Have a look here, what do you think?
Before and...
after.
I´m not quite finished yet, around the Windows and the entrance are going to be a terracota red, only the blue tiles are a bit funny, but oh well I´ll just put some flower pots on top of them!
I am so very happy! I´ve sold for the very first time in my life two paintings of mine, I´m so proud! The other day I´ve met this very interesting artist and showed him some of my paintings, he really liked them and sad to me he would be interested in buying some of me, so I´ve sold him two and this made me so very very happy because he for me is a great painter and it is an honor that he bought my paintings!
This painting is called Nascimento (birth), I love to use bright colors and be a bit abstract sometimes.
Yesterday I started to make my own packing paper. I saw this idea on a blog, but unfortunelly I can´t remember where I saw this (if the person, who has this blog I´m talking about, reads this message, please comment on this post for me to get back to your blog). So I started to cut out a simple design out of a linoleum plaque, then I passed paint on top of it with a sponge and pressed it to the brown packaging paper, took it of and voilá, a nice colorfull print on simple paper (as you can see on the picture on top of this message). I´ve been working on this several hours and couldn´t stop untill having the whole paper printed late at night. Today I had a crazy idea and made some funny christmas post cards (see pictures 1, 2, 3). I printed my picture (from yesterday´s post) on colored paper, cut it, paint it with colorfull pencils, put on some glitter, put on top of the whole post card transparent sticky paper, write christmas greetings on the other side and voilá, there you´ve got a personal christmas card. I was busy today! But it was a lot of fun and people will have a good laugh looking at my crazy face.
Ah! And don´t forget to enter my GIVEAWAY!!! I´m giving to one of my readers a beautifull dreamcatcher necklace that I´ve made.
