I also have opened a Cafe Press store because I like some of the products over there and who knows I might make a sale or two. More likely I'll end up buying things for my friends and family. I hope you enjoy having a look at these items.

I have finally opened that Gallery I always said I was going to open. In Brisbane though, not Melbourne, but one day we will get there. I have met a lot of wonderfull Artists and Creatives from Brisbane and South East Queensland already and I look forward to meeting more. It is hard work and I still have a few hurdles to jump but I am having a go and learning a lot.
Artists pay no commission on sales as we just charge for the space they rent. There are a variety of Shelf and wall spaces ranging from $10 - $100 a week depending on size and most average between $10 - $40. We will be having our first opening on the 10th of May from 6pm - 9pm and I'm sure it will be a success. If you are in the Brisbane area on that night you are most welcome to come along.
Today's Artist is Mandy's Art. As you can see her, mixed media, paintings are fun,bold and colourfull. They would certainly brighten up your walls and would make a great addition to anyones collection.

I have decided to do a series of Australian Birds to start the year off. They are created using water colour pencils, ink and acrylic paint. As we have so many species here in Australia, I think it might take me a while to get them all done.
While I am sitting here preparing backgrounds for new collages, I thought I would display some products I made with an earlier series. This one is another tradional
collage made with lots of little pieces of cut out found paper.
Hello there, today I have a couple of examples of my early work when I first started on the mixed media path. Both of these are created using collage, drawing and painting techniques
I have so far managed to blog for 7 days. Here is another way I make collages. I use the original picture that I have drawn myself, place them on the scanner and use different backgrounds that I have found to make new pictures.
