Black and White Hats and Scarves

Don`t do winter by halves wear Hats and Scarves!!

 BLACK AND WHITE STRIPED WOOL HAT

 This is one of the most most modern looking,fashionable urban style hats.It would go with any colour hair or outfit...

 BLACK AND WHITE MOTTLED WOOL HAT

 This is a super warm black and white wool hat ,the brim can be worn turned up or down.Most of the hats blogged so far have been more womens style hats but this is more a mans style hat.A fisherman's or Mariners hat

 BLACK AND YELLOW HAT AND SCARF SET

 Who ever said you need the sun to have fun! This lovely bee themed hat and scarf set is crocheted in a very soft touch lightweight type of wool

 BLACK AND WHITE SNAKE SCARF

 This striped snake scarf is very long and is made up of two layers of knitting.An extra warm huggable humbug of a serpent!

Black and White Acrylic Elvis

I had so much fun painting this Elvis picture.I spent more time doing the gradient effect on the background than i did painting him though!

This painting was a comission,i chose this picture of Elvis as i knew i would enjoy painting the background effect so much and i wanted to play with just adding a touch of colour to the black and white and a little pink to his face to see what would happen.

On reflection i might have lowered Elvis a bit so his head was nearer the centre.A practical adaption i was having too much fun to consider.As a consequence if it was framed you might loose a bit of his iconic quiff,hardly appropriate!But it really does not need framing.

New Range! Peculiar and Pretty Art Postcards...

 

Rogues Gallery Halloween Postcard

Starting with the Peculiar;this Halloween hand drawn postcard is a one off original idea by myself.Inside each stamped sized little frame is a villainous rogue of my own creation.Some of them smile invitingly,some of them glare out through slightly less than human features!There is a spooky youth in the  bottom right corner,it is just Halloween after all…

 

Just Sayin"Gone"Postcard

This 'Gone',one word postcard is open to interpretation to some extent,which was the intention.I simply really like the way the font turned out,like typewriter font but somehow a bit more expressive.The simple white on black crosshatched background seems to highlight the font best.

It`s a bare bones,statement of plain fact postcard-you went-so you said you went,with a postcard that just said "gone"Could be sad,could be just a fact.

 

DoodleMadness Postcard

 This is really a concerted effort at doodling ,it was a lot of fun to create but i had to keep steering myself away from drawing faces which i did not want on it.The overall effect of all the doodling is quite lacy and pretty which i had hoped for.
I love some of the little love heart doodles and may yet enlarge and paint some of them.
The results are always interesting when you just switch off and start doodling,sometimes delightful!

Active Ann Black and White Ragdoll

 

This beautiful little goth girl ragdoll is dressed entirely in black wool.With only the addition of black ribbons.Her waistcoat and skirt are crocheted,which adds a slightly lacy look to her outfit.It all looks a bit "Victorian Mourning Dress"but really she is a goth,she has purple wool lips!
