Mad Tea Party 2012

Some wonderful inspiration... what if there really is a door that leads me to Wonderland! 

A set of keys that opens the door to so many possibilities.

So with a stroke of a brush and some sweet paint I conjured up my own Mad Tea Party!

Swirls of pastel delicacies to share with each and everyone of you!

Im sharing with all of you my very own watercolor painting of a cupcake filled party!
(I have been dreaming of one for a long time!)

Have some of my mom's pita recipe as well with your cup of coffee or tea!

(check here for how I made this recipe art:

My last year's party guest arrived late just in time to finish off the cupcakes!

Head on over to A Fanciful Twist for more sweet stuff!

WOYWW: Mixed Media 'Beach Love' WIP

I'm back for my 2nd week here at WOYWW! I had fun last week!

My desk shows my current project on my mini easle.

It's a mixed media project I am working on with the photo transfer stage already done.  

It is currently on the drying stage after a layer of Liquitex gel medium. 

Once it dries I'll be painting in some more details in acrylic. 

So you see my acrylic paints all laid out and ready once it dries.

I'll post the finished project here over the weekend.

I want to do more projects using this style as well.

How has your week been so far? 

Mine is pretty hectic with all my work deadlines! 

Can't wait for the weekend though and a much needed vacation trip! Yey!

Happy wednesday!

the weekend artist big idea #2: Mad Tea Party moodboard

Just joined my first ever virtual party as a blogger.This is my next big idea just seeing what Vanessa has done over at her blog has made me oh so excited. Head on over to afancifultwist.typepad.com she is hosting the Mad Tea Party! Being a newbie I really don't know where to start.Seeing all the previous parties was quite overwhelming... I don't even know if I can manage to come up with something half as good =(. So while browsing the net for some inspiration(been down sick lately so been bumming around the house). I found some pics to inspire me...but wait... it kind of reminds me of something. The red roses, the red carpet, the sword parade, the velvet details, the lights, the candelabras, the desserts and opulent chairs! It reminded me of my wedding day not too long ago(did I ever mention I was married? and still am!) So I opened all my wedding files and lo behold I was able to put together an inspiration moodboard.

Here's a pic I found on the net:

and here's my own moodboard from my wedding

If you wanna see what I'll be posting hop on over on the 25th and visit A Fanciful Twist and the rest of the blogs who joined for a whole day of Mad partying!

I leave you with a kiss...au revoir!
