Aceo - Sugar Skulls I

The theme of one of my facebook aceo groups this month is Sugar Skulls so I played about with one of my designs from the last post. I'd forgotten how much I like candy skull/day of the dead art. Will definately try out some more designs.

I also have another 6in x 4in image to post but I'll save that for tomorrow :)

Aceos of the day - tattoo style

Tried a couple of Aceos in the same style as the bookmarks I've been painting.

This is another of my larger format designs, at 6ins x 4ins. Watercolour on watercolour paper as usual. I love using these spicy colours :)

Another sketched while I was on holiday and painted up back at home.

This is another one that I doodled while we werew away on holiday at the caravan, then painted up when I got home. I have been working on a lot more keyrings and bookmarks/magnets over the past few weeks as we were booked up to do a car boot sale. Some are repeats of previous designs, a few are new but it'll be a while before I get around to scanning them.

School starts again next Thursday so there should be lots more time for painting and blogging. :)

Oh dear - sorry about that huuuge gap in posting, you can definitely tell that the school holidays have descended on us. Anyways, as I find myself awake and having peace and quiet fairly early in the morning for a change, here's one of my latest aceos, drawn up after watching the series Sherlock on dvd :)
