A felt fox for my baby's first room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by drawing and cutting out the separate pieces in paper. Making sure it fitted in the frame I wanted to use. Using the paper shapes I cut the pieces out of felt and sewed the pieces together. </div>

I found it quite relaxing and glad there was no one else there to look over my shoulder. This took me around 3-4 hours, which includes washing in with a little bit of colour.<br />
The building is Cumberland Lodge in Windsor...<br />

The theme was 'Shiny' for the creative challenge at my Local Art shop. So I decided to the make the fairy lantern. You will find lots of tutorials online for this, but this is how I did it...<br />
Drew and cut of the shape of a fairy in black card.<br />
PVA glued white tissue paper all over the outside of a jam jar.<br />
Let dry and glue the fairy on the inside of the jar.<br />
Sprinkled glitter on the outside of the jar (on top of the dried tissue paper)<br />
and then tied a glittery ribbon around the top of the jar.<br />
some tutorials include the lid, but I left this off as I thought it would be easier to access the candle inside.<br />

I did cheat a little. I hand drew a silhouette from the internet. Using modelling paste and blue acrylic I got the texture of the stag. I tried to do the background in strips of different shades of green to give the impression of trees.<br />

I had kept my old canvas stored away all these years, always wanting to reuse them in some way.<br />
<br />
So here is my dirty secret...I did terribly at A Level art, which sounds ridiculous now as all I ever do is be creative.<br />
<br />
Below you can see my first 'recycled' canvas. It felt great painting lots of black paint all over my A Level work, sort of liberating even after all these years.<br />

This is the painting hanging on my bedroom wall. It's actually really hard to photograph. It seems much better in real. I tried flicking some glow in the dark paint on to the canvas which didn't seem to work very well. This might of been because I purchased the really cheap stuff from amazon. I don't know, but it just doesn't really show up at all. </div>

During the wedding, rather than have a guest book, all the guest will leave a finger print on a tree branch.<br />
It will look great once it's filled with finger prints. I got ink pads with different shades of green for variety.<br />

I brought this camera on ebay for £12. I've had film cameras in the past as I was growing up, but I was really interested in using a camera with the bellows front. This one is a 'All Distance' Soho Myna and dates from the late 1920s to early 1930s. The camera is all metal and takes 120 film. I purchased my film from <a href="http://www.retrophotosupplies.com/" target="_blank">Retro Film Supplies</a> and had them developed using this website <a href="http://www.rollfilmprocessing.co.uk/">http://www.rollfilmprocessing.co.uk</a>/ Their website is easy to navigate and would highly recommend using them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I received the film I had a trip over to the Isle of Wight and took these photos...</div>

As I was watching the last series to refresh my memory, I decided to paint one of the characters.<br />
I find it incredibly difficult to capture watercolour. The first is taken with a camera the second is a scan. <br />

I've used sticky backed plastic to mark out the house stark emblem. I stipple watercolour with a stiff brush, in hindsight I went too far and went much darker then a originally wanted. </div>

I spent ages thinking "where did I put that paintbrush" etc. You would've thought that all art stuff would be in one box, but no it just doesn't work out that way.<br />
I was lacking inspiration, so I put a call out on facebook to start me off. <br />
<br />
There is a painting of two little guinea pigs called Sylvia and Olive.<br />

I always get asked how I do the background on paintings like this one. It's actually really easy. I draw my sketch on to some clear sticky plastic. I usually use a light box for this and remember to do it in reverse as you will be drawing on the paper side of the sticky plastic, so you have to draw back to front. Then with a stiff brush I stipple watercolour paint around the masked out area. I build the colours starting with lighter shade ending with darker. <br />

To make it I brought a wooden treasure box from my local art shop. I photocopied random pages from the Harry Potter books, ensuring I captured familiar words for example peoples names, place names or the words like 'death eater' or 'invisibility cloak'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using a mix of water and PVA glue I ripped and pasted the paper all over the box, using a stiff brush. (It doesn't look like it in the photo, but...) I took the advice from the owner of the art shop and I did this while the clasp of the box was closed. It meant that when it was finished the words will line up perfectly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once dried I use a scalpel to cut the box open again. Remember always cut away from you. :-) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I freehand painted the figures on the lid, practising on a piece of tracing paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the tracing paper draw around the box, cut this shape out and fold it in half. This will help you find the middle when your drawing on the lid. </div>

I was particularly struck with how they infused the old Reich era Germany with a modern vibrant city. Berliner Dom, I found particularly symbolic as it sits like an island against a backdrop of Soviet bloc architecture. I felt the best way to express this in pictorial form was to paint the Cathedral without background to express its identity as an island of 19th century Germany in the modern city,</span></span><br />

I mounted it on card, padding it a little. <br />
It took me about 2-3 months, but I was doing it during my lunch breaks, so he wouldn't see me making it. He was really pleased with it and at the moment sits on our mantelpiece.<br />

This time I did Mr Benn. I grew up watching Mr Benn throughout the 80s+90s, but it was first on TV in 1971.<br />
Much like how I did <a href="http://dollyglencross.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/the-wombles.html" target="_blank">The Wombles canvas </a>I drew all the costumes and characters in ink and watercolour, on hot pressed watercolour paper.<br />
Painting the background in acrylic and drawing the lines of the door and floor boards in a fine liner pen and watercolour. I didn't use a ruler on the door, as I didn't want it looking too perfect.<br />
like it? why not share it. Thanks Dolly x<br />

The Wombles.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I will show you how I did it.<br />
First I drew my initial sketches on paper. I used http://www.thewomblesbooks.com/ as a reference.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIx0-VvNAEsJiaYWPAAfXNHqXK8EwreOBoRD0yAz_L4bIy7i99dc1TceEGFX3MOBFGwM34oip4VrymNXt9StjkpxIz_nAOo9ztcQ9wb_oCdx0HyTms4a-zSWzbnkBJf_C816bj74rNP_NQ/s1600/The+Wombles+_Dolly+Glencross+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIk1vJS8kMwQsl_lAyUMPLE5WgTQWxypviwUbjKRi84CX7-TyDCz9ejY2L5Gwqfphyoe9XBhMNsUHTKLSJgeLdGuwUlUYWJHEMqyw_TvnBrCuFigqyJJkHW8Kemz-FRkfKRKO1HmZMVJi4/s1600/The+Wombles+_Dolly+Glencross+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="The wombles painting drawing" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIk1vJS8kMwQsl_lAyUMPLE5WgTQWxypviwUbjKRi84CX7-TyDCz9ejY2L5Gwqfphyoe9XBhMNsUHTKLSJgeLdGuwUlUYWJHEMqyw_TvnBrCuFigqyJJkHW8Kemz-FRkfKRKO1HmZMVJi4/s1600/The+Wombles+_Dolly+Glencross+3.jpg" height="459" title="The wombles painting drawing" width="640" /></a></div>
Using a light-box I redrew the characters onto watercolour paper. I use extra smooth hot pressed paper, as I much prefer using the paper without the rough texture.<br />
<br />
By combining white acrylic paint and modelling paste I start to fill in The Wombles fur.<br />

I've taken a close up of Great Uncle Bulgaria's shoes and Madame Cholet's pinafore, so I can show you how I did them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the slippers do a base wash of yellow and once that is dry do lines of different shades of brown all in water colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the pinafore do a wash in pink watercolour and then in acrylic do a collection of three pink dots and a green line at each. </div>

So I then started on the background of my canvas. Using green card I cut a hill shape, which would cover half of my canvas. After visiting the Warhammer shop I used their glade grass to cover the green card. In hindsight I should of just got grass effect card or felt, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted a 12"x12" cavas, using blue aryclic and then glued it all together. </div>

From this angle you can see I used half a water bottle, painted silver as a bin. I had to glue gun this in place, which seems to work. I decided to put The Wombles motto 'Make good use of bad rubbish' as a sign on the outside of the bin. Also on Great Uncle Bulgaria's hat and scarf I used tartan pattern paper instead of painting it. </div>

I then wanted to try the composition in a different media. Here I cut cardboard into the different shapes painted over them in acrylic paint and then glued them together. I sometimes prefer being a bit messier and making pictures like this one. It's much like my <a href="http://dollyglencross.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/the-green-man.html#.U16w-VVdV5Y" target="_blank">Green Man picture, have a look. </a><br />

I really enjoyed making these light sensitive<br />
pictures. I got the paper off Amazon and collected leaves and flowers on a walk in the woods. <br />
<br />
The paper was really easy to use. I first tried out different positions on scrap paper and then laid it out onto the light sensitive paper for real. Positioning it in bright sunlight for 5 minutes changed the colour of the paper. I finally removed the flowers and wet the paper in just cold water. This 'fixed' it so it wouldn't develop any further.<br />
<br />
In the future I might try it with lace and old fashioned shaped keys. - I will keep you posted on how these turn out.<br />

I wasn't able to spend as much time as I would have liked on it, but maybe this is an idea that I will revisit in the future.<br />
To learn more about fossilised plants go here... <a href="http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/earth-sciences/fossil-plants/fossil-plant-research/index.html" target="_blank">Natural History Museum, London</a><br />
I also did a quick illustration of a flint tool, which were made by early humans. click here to see a real <a href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/pe_prb/p/pointed_flint_handaxe.aspx" target="_blank">Flint Tool at the British Museum</a><br />
