<br />
I considered stencils, but they are just too messy and time consuming. So i did a little research and found a website you can get a custom made rubber stamp from! And for not to high a price ether considering how much use it will get! The <a href="http://www.englishstamp.com/default.aspx">English Stamp Company</a> is really user friendly, you just click custom stamps, then upload your own image and follow the instructions. My stamp came in at about £18 then another £5 for an ink pad (optional), though i probably could have found that cheaper else where.<br />
<br />
I had already designed what i wanted in photoshop, keeping it simple with text from my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/goldshine1?ref=si_shop">etsy shop</a> banner. Then I made sure it was the right size as you have to upload it to the English Stamp Co site the size you want it made. I wanted it to look neat but quirky, here it is below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTBjf0HZYNjnoBy5lC4rKmX_DcsOyiJG4-sFajhCu3Ii-CUpafastLmVIZrY8QQnLH5l8OHlsX_cKWu_27WsjQIIVy4Zzs02Q2UeNDhKZ1SK2AM26Gu1XJA1LJNz3cTlOjk_uzdWpDSBv/s1600/stamp1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTBjf0HZYNjnoBy5lC4rKmX_DcsOyiJG4-sFajhCu3Ii-CUpafastLmVIZrY8QQnLH5l8OHlsX_cKWu_27WsjQIIVy4Zzs02Q2UeNDhKZ1SK2AM26Gu1XJA1LJNz3cTlOjk_uzdWpDSBv/s320/stamp1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>A positive side of this technique is that i can print in any number of colours i like to suit the style of the card which will be handy.<br />
So anyway that is in the factory being created a we speak! Very exciting i can't wait to get it through the post!GoldShinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08873563888530998393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453519656890970850.post-23441151420375212112011-09-21T11:40:00.000-07:002011-09-21T11:40:31.684-07:00Cards.I have been working on some handmade cards, among other things, and so far i am quite pleased with the result! I have been using window cards and creating little paintings on thick paper to go behind the window. I've got a small range of sizes in white and cream, each are different and individual but will feature a certain colour and style theme.<br />
Anyway here are some photo's so let me know what you think!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I put a base coat on in deep blue or purple, then covered the canvases in imitation gold and silver leaf to give a shine and vibrance under the paint. I am really enjoying working like this, it gives amazing results. i have also used metal leaf lacquer over the top of the finished painting to give a rich shine to the canvas. I would love to know what people think of them.</div>GoldShinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08873563888530998393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453519656890970850.post-59048506660297918082011-08-23T13:23:00.000-07:002011-08-23T13:23:04.002-07:00Surprise Sale!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf6EI0ayuSoewtme75wCJk4YDGypJTr55RbRCSP8X__PHPCeYofzagEE1PyoKgzJ0Qd4YlvkCe0o5wUOhhFjPAvQPEjoaeVRhk3_VDXZwl_Agn0bxSAsmBEtyTfp0LSWmqGlkcxjA966Hn/s1600/DSCN0735.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf6EI0ayuSoewtme75wCJk4YDGypJTr55RbRCSP8X__PHPCeYofzagEE1PyoKgzJ0Qd4YlvkCe0o5wUOhhFjPAvQPEjoaeVRhk3_VDXZwl_Agn0bxSAsmBEtyTfp0LSWmqGlkcxjA966Hn/s320/DSCN0735.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
So today i was walking down Park Street on the way to Tesco, and i came across this stationary shop. I went in just in to kill some time really and look around, but what did i find at the back? A basket full of liquitex heavy body with 25% off! I may have got a little excited and bought 3 tubes, despite having noo money at all. Any way <a href="http://www.stationeryworldonline.co.uk/">this is a link to their website</a>, its under construction at the moment but your might be able to find a bargain there soon, and if you live in bristol head to Park Street!GoldShinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08873563888530998393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453519656890970850.post-35559458500744923742011-08-22T08:52:00.000-07:002011-08-22T08:52:03.979-07:00Starry Night...Today i have been researching some artists in an attempt to find inspiration for my next painting. I am still waiting on a big order of paint from <a href="http://www.cowlingandwilcox.com/default.aspx">Cowling and Wilcox</a>, who by the way have awesome discount prices on art supplies so you should all go and have a look. Anyway i'm waiting for this order and i didn't want to start anything else without the right colours so i though i would do so research while i waited.<br />
<br />
Im thinking of using Van Gogh's work for the next piece, Starry Night in particular has really taken me. I want to take from the colour palette and style to create something new.<br />
Here it is anyway, i just love the movement in the shapes. I am really being drawn to flowing, energetic images at the moment, this subject also relates back to my uni project in style, shape and colour.<br />

</div>Im looking into both colour and and shape created by water, particularly i'm interested in using light floating fabrics, very thin and sheer. Using layers to build up texture. Already i take from this board an idea of contrast between very hard jagged shapes that can be created by ice and the soft flowing movement of water.GoldShinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08873563888530998393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4453519656890970850.post-51050520386245937562011-08-21T15:33:00.000-07:002011-08-21T15:33:55.201-07:00Refresh..So iv'e just come across this blog i set up, totally forgotten i had it! I've given it a bit of love and have made a promise to myself to start using it at lease once a day. To the first of many...<br />
<br />
Anyway, currently i am really getting into painting. Im doing work experience at Jean Jones Gallery in Clifton, Bristol, and it has been amazing so far! Here is a link to her website...<br />
