New idea coming together...or is it 🤔🤔

As always when im creating in mixed media my initial idea works to a point, then I change it due to it not coming together how I like or what I want to create just doesnt work

Anyone have some suggestions for whats next to inspire me

Little bit of a colour theme going on with my latest work 😀

The kiwi bird is a new stamp shape I am currently working with. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, unfortunately I couldn't quite work out what backings I could use 🤔 but over time I have finally found ways to display them.
Plus I think the softer, pastel colours work a lot better than the black I've used in the past.

Let me know what you think?
More work to come soon...with the Kiwi 🩷

* small mdf squares
* 2 kiwis on cork board
* 2 kiwis & heart on canvas

All these will be available at The Kōwhai Collective

A little bit of coloured drawing to get myself back in the drawing vibe. To think I have always felt that I haven't been good at drawing in colour. Perhaps that has changed 🤔 just goes to show that the more you draw the more your skill improves. So for all you creatives out there...keep going ✍️

What do you think of these?

Latest drawing completed ✍️❤️🦭

I chose this piece as I was working on some different shading techniques plus it has been quite some time since I have done any drawing - I have been doing a lot of mixed media work instead. This is my colourful, experimental side with my art whereas my drawing is my skill. Both equally create harmonious happiness for me 🥰

It is available should anyone be interested in it 😃
Let me know what you think 🤔
