Brown paper packages tied up with string…..

It’s the 9th of Blogtober and as 9 is my favorite number I have decided to celebrate with my very first give away. For your ticket to win just join my little band of followers and leave me a comment on this post. That means along with an entry in my competition, you also get to catch up with what I have been up to on a regular basis! Who knows it could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

If you are already one of my followers, thank you, I really appreciate your company and support. So you don’t feel left out just pop me a note in the comments to say hi and you will be in the running too.

I have put together this little prize, I hope you like it. I promise to wrap it in brown paper and tie it in string. There is an original abstract mini painting and a hand painted book mark and magnet along with one of the little owl cards that I printed just the other day.

I will draw the winner on the 30th of October and I’m happy to post anywhere in the world, good luck.

Tweet, tweet

Not a twitter style tweet! Just tweeting about these sweet little birds. They are totally out of character for me, but very cute.  I was doodling about a few weeks ago and included these little birds that were inspired by some vintage fabric I saw out in blog land (I can’t remember where sorry). I thought I might laminate them so they will be strong enough to be book marks.

Then this week when I came home with a big stash of my half price art materials, from my favorite supplier who is going out of art materials :(.

I doodled more of these little birds on a scrap of paper with my new white ink.

I then decided that I needed to do more in a more finished version on a little canvas I picked up a couple of weeks ago. I like the doodles better than this canvas, but it has been heaps of fun playing around with something so different from my normal style.

It’s all nearly as sweet as the delicious fudge I am eating right now that we picked up this morning from the Handmade Expo, YUM. Little guy got a handmade wooden hobby horse too, I shall have to share some photos when I take them it is adorable and he loves it.

Things are looking up

Things are looking up in the creative side of my life and starting "created by Kylie" is my way of celebrating and expanding on that. I have found some time in the last month or so to get back into my painting, for the last 19 months Little Guy has been taking up so much of my time and energy that not much had been happening in the studio!

Recently I created a new line of funky little magnets and bookmarks and I delivered them to Handmade Heaven last week. If you haven't checked out Handmade Heaven before, it is, as the name suggests, a heavenly little shop full of handmade goodies. You can check out what is going on there at Handmade Heaven.

Check out a couple of the book marks and magnets from the range. They are all one off originals on artist canvas. Such an easy way to add some art to your everyday life and at just $3 they are an absolute bargain.

I also delivered some mini canvases and a couple of large abstracts, more about them soon..........
