Celtic knot freeform dragon - painted this one for my dad. I used glow in the dark podge overtop the dragon (not the black) so the painting glows in the dark (can we tell i like glow in the dark stuff?)

bag for my common law dad in law - he's really into lawn bowling


I hope you all enjoy seeing my work...Ive quite litterally put alot of blood sweat and tears into these gifts. Some of these (including the first set) took upwards of a year to make....a good chunk of these I started in September or October.

haha i totally want the bag! that is such a great phrase and it would fit me so well, well in reverse anyways, mind if i kinda borrow the phrasing? it would make such a conversation piece.

I dont think i was the original author of that quote, but i cant find who first said it....

The paintings took the longest....well the one of carolina nericcio did... took me about 2 weeks to do, and its really not that big either....

tip to anyone who has to use lots of little dots while painting...use a dried out ballpoint pen. dont use pencil cause graphite will mess with the colors

I mostly practice in mah living room with videos. It helps but you are right. its not the same as an instructor

I have a bad tendancy to pick up multiple crafts all at once....sometimes crossovers is good, or in this case, christmas gifting.
