Project 52 – Week 16: “Bloopers”
My theme today is of an equine nature and thought these were good for a Friday chuckle! Some amusing horse photos from Katseyephotos blog. Project 52 – Week 16: “Bloopers”.
Experimenting
Oh dear, hadn’t realised it was quite so long since I wrote my last blog post! In my defence I have been away for some of that time and I’ve been experimenting with combining acrylic painting with glass painting. As you probably now know I love trying new ideas but this time I am sticking …
Wonderful birds and then there are seagulls!
This week I’ve moved on from dogs to birds. If you read my post last year on seagulls you’ll know how they have annoyed me! Well it seems they are eyeing up my chimney breast and I am determined that they will not nest there again this year. Obviously I don’t want to harm the …
Dog Agility glass painting!
I’m starting to add background to more of my animal paintings now and generally pleased with the results. It can be quite tricky painting around the animals because unlike painting on paper you can’t overlap glass paint because the original colour can be seen from the other side of the glass. This means I’m unable …
Ginger
My latest painting is a ginger cat on a glass mug and I added the goldfish bowl for a bit of character! Hope you like him. Trying to get the colour ginger was quite difficult, I used orange, white and a spot of brown in the end. However having looked at other people’s work ginger …

It’s wet!
My new website is almost ready and I plan to launch it next week. After advice from friends, family and thanks to Phil Deem, Exeter Business Support I’ve added missing information and I think it looks good. I have gone for the paid version, so there is plenty of room for photos! I will let …
Creating a Website
Happy New Year to you all. I now have a name for my new brand and in preparation for the launch I’ve been advised to get my own website. So far I have avoided this but I can see it makes sense these days, so many hours of research later I’ve started to create my …
A Christmas carol in pictures
Happy Christmas to you all. As I’m sure everyone has been busy these last few weeks, I’ve created a ‘Silent Night’ pinterest board for a relaxing browse! http://pinterest.com/arpglassdesigns/folksy-sings-silent-night/ As it doesn’t include any of my creations, here is one! This photograph was taken last Christmas eve and it’s also in my 2013 photo calendar Hope …
Flying like a Bird!
My Robin christmas decoration/sun catchers have literally been flying out of my house, which is great news. I’ve sold them on Folksy, in Quay Presents shop and on craft stalls. Shame I don’t get any real ones in my garden! It made me realise that I currently have a collection of birds for sale. As …
