More 2dee-ness

I had bought a load of cheap glassless frames from Ikea with intentions of painting to frames to sell. Instead I decided to make them all into little 2dee shadow boxes in hopes of selling them at the upcoming craftfairs. I did 3 with Fox Nap ones and one of the Forest Cat. They all ended up selling so I did 2 more fox Naps, 2 more Forest Cats and then did 2 Forest owls.









 

Finger Perch ... 2dee art



I am not sure what made me decide to do one of these shadow type boxes, I must have seen one somewhere and made a mental note somewhere. I think it turned out really well. 






Decided to do 2 different coaster designs for these ones as well because I thought the background might be too overpowering when not 2 dimensional like the original. 


I prefer the ones with the white background.

Yet again another Ikea purchase – pencil holder – owl buddies


A Chase.. Mirror and coasters

When I was smaller than I am now, my Nana had this pop-up Beatrix Potter book and one of the illustrations was an aerial view of foxes chasing Jemimah Puddleduck(?) in a circle. This image always stuck out in my mind and apparently my little brother's as well, because as soon as he saw it he immediately said it reminded him of the same thing.

I painted these onto a little wood frame.

Then thought they would be really cool as circular coasters.

 So did a bit a photoshop magic with the help of mr. tom, and printed these up.

The end.

Fox Box




I luff foxes
Another Ikea purchase. 

I have no idea what it is supposed to be, but sort of looks like one of those things you would eat japanese food out of. So naturally I thought, it needs a painting of cat riding bears in a race.

 





Never ending cat race.




Trees go ping....

Ilana bought a set of wooden drawers from Ikea and asked me to paint it for her....
