Anna Griffin’s artistic vision encapsulates the essence of floral beauty through an exquisite infusion of vibrant colors and intricate designs. Her works evoke a sense of joy and serenity, reminiscent of a lush garden in full bloom. Crafted with an eye for detail, each piece captures the delicate interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the visual appeal and offering viewers a moment of escape into a world filled with nature’s most vibrant expressions. The use of bold hues and meticulously arranged floral motifs speaks to the artist's ability to elevate the ordinary into extraordinary, making her creations a celebration of life and nature. In this particular piece inspired by Anna Griffin, the vibrant colors leap off the canvas, immersing the observer in a tapestry of flora that seems to dance with vitality. The palette is intentionally selected to evoke warmth and happiness; bright pinks, rich yellows, and deep greens work harmoniously, inviting a visual engagement that is both delightful and uplifting. Each brushstroke tells a story, layering complexity and depth, and invites the viewer to explore the multifaceted relationship between color and form.

Through the lens of Anna Griffin's influence, the artist has skillfully woven design and emotion into their craft, resulting in a work that resonates on both aesthetic and emotional levels. This artwork stands as a testament to the transformative power of color and design, showcasing how art can transcend simple portraiture of nature to become a profound statement on life, vitality, and inspiration. As you step closer to this arresting creation, allow yourself to be transported into the vibrant essence of flowering landscapes, where each glance reveals another layer of beauty and thoughtfulness embedded within the artwork.

Hello and Happy Mother's Day to all you UK Mums today! Today I am sharing another journal that I made with Eileen Hull's fabulous new Journal die, by Sizzix, which is due out very soon now! You can Pre-order it now in the UK from Country View Crafts HERE. As I love anything to do with the sea, I used Andy Skinner's Fossil stencil, Andy's Mega Crackle Technique and lots of DecoArt products to create the Journal cover. This is how the journal starts off, this one was cut with Sizzix |Mat Board which is similar to Mount Board, it is very sturdy and will take a lot of wet products without warping. I used Andy's Mega Crackle Technique to get to this stage (do dry naturally after each stage). 1) Cover the piece with Gesso or Paint (I used a mix of black, green and blue paint) 2) Apply a coat of DecoArt Weathered Wood Crackle Medium 3) Apply a coat of DecoArt Crackle Paint 4) Apply a coat of DecoArt Ultra Matte Varnish I applied a wash of DecoArt Paint in very watered down Prussian Blue I stencilled in black and once it was dry I stencilled again with DecoArt Modelling Paste. At this point I was not happy with the black showing through and I gave the whole thing a coat of thinned down white Gesso. It did cover up some of the crackles but I wasn't too unhappy about that, it still had a nice 'rough' surface. Next, I applied a wash of my favourite colour of DecoArt paint - Cobalt Teal Hue randomly over the base and Quinacridone Gold (again watered down) for the stencilled fossil area. I love the colours now! Next, I over-stamped the journal using Cobalt Teal Hue and a bubble stamp from IndigoBlu. The sentiment is also from the same IndigoBlu set - Under the Sea. I added lots of splatters in blue and white paint. To finish off I added one of the closures that comes with the die, and some hand dyed ribbon. I love to finish off my journals with a matching hinge clip and charm. The clip and the seahorse were embossed with Stampendous embossing powder and I strung some tiny shells with elasticated jewellery thread. I created three signatures for the inside, in the style of a junk journal, using up papers from my 'left over' box. I hope you like my sea themed, Andy Skinner inspired Journal! If you would like to see another of my Journals, there is another one being shown by Susan from Country View Crafts HERE. It is one that I have not shown before and it is quite different to the one I am showing here today. I am so thrilled that Susan at Country View Crafts has Eileen Hull's fabulous new HeARTfelt Journal die on Pre Order too, at a fantastic price! And last, but not least, Eileen Hull has created a Journal too, this is being featured over on the A Vintage Journey blog. If you do have time, I hope you will have a look, it is a real beauty! Thanks for you visit, hope to see you soon. Hugs, Anne xx

When Graphic Artists have the creative freedom to choose the subject of their personal projects, they often base their work on pop culture interests. Childhood cartoons were a source of early inspiration for many artists, so producing fan art of their favourite characters in their own style, or completely reimagining iconic figures in new and […]
Remember when I made string art with 100+ kids for a non profit event at Dell Children's Hospital and then a local Austin business actually paid $10,000 for it?! I know, crazy town!

The firts is to create a circular frame that outlines all vertices with the largest circle (see example). After that is complete, you simply fill in the excess area with circles on scale with the layer that it is on. The second way is simpler, but generally less aesthetically pleasing. To do this, you simply create the smallest circle in the guide, and slowly build larger circles on top of it until you reach the circle you want as your middle point. You then start building juicier circles on top
