Finished balloons.

These make me laugh, even if i say so myself.
They do look pretty jokes.
I ended adding to each balloon because every time i did another balloon it would turn out better or i'd just want the face to have more designs in it.
I loved doing this.
Maybe because it was working in a bigger pen and maybe bigger scale.
Sounds abit arty farty but i felt pretty free when drawing on the balloons.
This project has definitely made me try different things and it's been great.
At the start of this project i struggled with ideas but now I am completely into it.
I have been totally surprised that all my ideas have been so successful!!

Couldn't ask for a better model i mean little sister.

Balloon 4

It's meant to have it's tongue sticking out.

Balloon 3

I will photograph these.

i like how different they look when they're scanned.

They're like a family.

LOL

yes i did call this post lol.
because this one makes me happy.

BE HAPPY.

MARKER PEN AND SHARPIE PEN ON BALLOOON.

Balloon 2

the more balloons i do, the better they get
and scanning them in they look funny, they make me smile
which is good, i want to make things to make people smile.
Wait till you see the next one after this.

BE HAPPY.

BALLOOOONS.

balloons are always used for celebration.
so i knew they would fit in with my 'be happy' project
i decided to experiment on drawing on them.
Here's one.
I'm currently on my 3rd one.
Yeah i know here it looks more scary than happy but it's not that scary in real life... promise.

Yeah i scanned them... I'll photograph them when i've finished them all.

Starting my Bunting.

I went to the market on saturday and bought some material to make bunting.

I chose this material for the letters 'be happy'

I chose lovely patterned material to go inbetween each letter.

You'll see the patterned material in a later post.

I was thinking about how to do the letters.

My original thought was to draw on them but then i thought i could use iron tranfer to do it.

I ended up testing out all my fabric pens to see which would bleed and which wouldn't.

I got bored and decided to test out drawing on the material...

turns out to be a brilliant idea.

Flowers.

I picked some flowers and scanned them.
and then on photoshop did this.
I think I'm going to use it to make the type out of.
Hopefully it will stand out enough on the image i want to use it for.

Experimenting.

Playing around.

STARTED LIKE THIS:

I love to draw.

Discovering ideas for:

'All the happiness you ever find lies in you'

'One joy scatters a hundred griefs'

I like this quote i found, unfortunately it's anonymous.
The background is a photo i have taken on some blossom.

Also type to be done and added to this.

'One joy scatters a hundred griefs'

I added more sprinkles here.
My version of sprinkles... obviously.

Type to be done.

'One joy scatters a hundred griefs'

More to come.

thinking about whether to add more or not.

I don't know if i printed out the photo and stuck the 'scatter' shapes and stuck them on by hand it would look better. 

We'll see.

One idea for an image.

This was my first go at doing this.
I'm going to go over the star drawings more so theres more lines and less white.

'Seeing stars make me happy'

...And wonder about the world.

I want to make these.

They've put them up for May festival.
