Thanks Deemaree! I have done a bit more work on it (haven't taken photo yet!).... hopefully improved it! LOL.


Does anyone know of a product that I can use to paint over my painting to make it "shiny"..... sort of a clear sealer but will make the colours jump out at you.....

Clear picture varnish wonderful stuff

But where do you get it ... I tried to find some at an art and craft shop and they didn't know what I was talking about .... I beleive it's in a spray can?

Art is hanging on wall. The photo isn't great. Really need to take it during the day.

I might hang up the 1st one I did for some comparison. Think I like the 1st one I did better.

My kids and I had some fun making these. They aren't meant to win awards or anything, but they make me smile.

This one is a comic strip type thing. Each row is a separate story. By DS.

DS did this one years ago, it's an archer, horse & cart and a spear. Yes that is blood

Circles. Just because. I think I saw it somewhere actually and thought it looked cool.

Hands. All of our prints are there. Even the cats'. The kids chose the colours (I hate orange)

carmel they are awesome-I especially got a giggle out of the sparkly candles because that is such a boy way of thinking!

They're great Carmel! DD4 thought the one with the blood was "goooooood" and she loved the bubbles (circles)

Thanks
My boy has a great sense of humour

Carmel, they are awesome! I'd buy that sparkly candle one, i love it

DS just read the comments, chuckled, said cool, chuckled again and put his thumbs up. Thanks for making my boy proud of himself

Yay for homemade artwork - especially if it makes you smile. The pictures are great - lots of detail and a great deal of thought has gone into them. I like the red painting with the circles - did you do that Carmel?

Yeah I did that one. Dipped vases of different sizes in paint and pressed/smeared it on. Took 2 seconds

I all just an update to the artwork in its place Love it!
