Loretta Grayson Art and Craft

Loretta Grayson Art and Craft I adore colour and pattern, and create art that makes every day a celebration. About the Artist:

Hello, and a warm welcome to my page!

I'm Loretta Grayson, and I live with my family on a farm in Queensland, Australia. I create imaginary and geometric landscapes in gouache, oil pastel, collage, and mixed media. My artwork is inspired by colour, pattern, map imagery and the book illustrations of my childhood. I also find a lot of inspiration in literature and poetry. You'll often find me sharing pieces that illustrate the small wor

lds I create in my head from the much-loved lines I have jotted in my art journal while reading. I operate a small one-woman business selling prints of my work online, and also exhibit and sell originals as opportunities arise. When I'm not painting, I love to crochet. I mostly create my own designs and occasionally get around to writing the patterns to share. I love collaborative projects and coordinate the Yarntopians team. We have an amazing group who work together to produce large scale yarn bombing installations for Jumpers & Jazz in July, a ten day yarn bombing and jazz festival held in Warwick, QLD each year. Thank you for following my page, and for your likes and comments! Your support is very much appreciated.

🖍️ Oil pastel granny squares!

I wanted to create a background in the Jumpers & Jazz in July, Warwick QLD signature colours that we could use for Yarntopians notices.

This was my first attempt, messy and far from perfect. I scanned it anyway and was happy with how it turned out. I can now copy and paste the image in any photo editing program, to create larger granny square backgrounds.

I know I could probably find a ready-made digital graphic to use, but this was much more fun!
