I did these little images many, many years ago and have never done anything with them, nor did I pursue the idea. But as I am having a crisis of confidence I thought maybe I should go back to things I did a long time ago and resurrect the ideas. I was trained in design and Illustration so perhaps revisiting some of the things I learned then might work to get me painting again. These would make quite nice cards, so when I get some time I will print a few and see if they sell.

ReplyDeleteThank you friends, I am working on my UKCPS entry but once I have done with that I am hoping to do something similar to these using CP maybe.
ReplyDeleteHi Bev
ReplyDeleteI think these images are great for cards. Often people want colorful, stylized kind of images on cards rather than The very realisic ones. Good luck in The ukcps comp. :)
