It has been a while since I posted anything arty. The reason is that I have been very fatigued in recent weeks.
However, last weekend, I got creative and played around in my visual diary for hours and hours. This is an activity that I find refreshing and emotionally very good for me. I encourage everyone to take a little leap into a creative world, whatever your chosen medium, because it is so so so good for you on more levels than can be counted.
I’ve been very drawn to the clockwork theme of Steampunk lately and enjoyed using spray ink, stamps, stencils and found printed images into one art piece. I used a gel medium to seal the work and a lot of glue too. It was heaps of fun.
On Saturday, I spent many hours playing with ink and black pen, stamps and stencils to begin creating what you can see below.

This drawing took approximately two days to draw up and colour in. I thoroughly enjoyed creating ‘Butterfly Bliss’ and I am looking forward to where my new found love of mixed media will take my artistic expression.
Have a great day.
