Framed Sunflower Prints and Greeting Cards

With the flowers blooming and weather soon to be hotting up, my summery Sunflower mini greeting cards are sure to bring you some sunshine. They are ideal for nature lovers (like me), gardeners or those who love a splash of colour. As well as Birthdays, these cards can be used for Thank you's or to send a little message to someone special. 

My cute mini Sunflower greeting cards are also available as framed prints, which can make a lovely gift. 

All designs are also available as framed prints which can make a lovely gift for mums, sisters, partners, gardeners or flower lovers like me!. It's also a nice way to add a splash of colour and pattern to a blank wall. My matching greeting cards are a sweet way to compliment each framed print. 

My framed Mini Sunflower print makes a lovely gift for someone special.

My Featured Interview

I am excited to say I have been featured in an article in A Little bit Individual, a website where "finding that unique gift idea became a little easier." Click the link below but visit again soon as I will be adding to this when I can: 

Featured article MONSOON ARTS & PHOTOGRAPHY | a little bit individual

I was also interviewed about my art so please click this link to read my interview with Adrian: 

My Featured Q & A Interview MONSOON ARTS & PHOTOGRAPHY

Here is a small peek at when Adrian interviewed me: 

I can enhance your photos, add borders or various filters & effects. 

So, what can you expect from my art? 

Colourful & quirky paintings. All sold at affordable prices for everyone to enjoy, whether it be through a painting, print or by giving a loved one one of my greeting cards. 

My Indian inspired watercolour painting makes a nice gift to give to someone special or to just treat yourself! 

What’s the best thing about being an artist? 

As well as being creative which is my passion, I get to express the things I love and then share this with thousands of people from a busy corridor, other cities & even on a double decker bus. But I also love it when people tell me they’ll be using a greeting card to write a note to tell someone they love them. I think that’s sweet. 

Professionally, what’s my goal? 

It’s great to see my art in public spaces and it was a nice feeling to see one of my posters on the outside of a double decker bus and another around Liverpool. But eventually I’d love to see more of my art go overseas. As well as doing more professional henna, I’d love for my greeting cards to be part of a professional publisher and sold in high street shops.

My Exhibition Promotional Leaflet

I've been pretty excited with the opening of my exhibition last week at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. Being a graphic designer too, I've designed a promotional leaflet to advertise my artwork at the exhibit which will be up for several months. My finished design is a good reflection of my artwork - it's colourful and vibrant! 

My leaflet I designed to be placed by the glass cabinets during my several months long exhibit.  All feedback welcome.

It's so nice to see the kind of artwork other people are also creating, I can see their passion. It's inspiring and makes me more ambitious! 

Art was hung in a main public corridor viewable by hundreds of people who walked through daily.

Inspired by my Indian Culture

My Indian culture really inspires me from the lively music, the colorful clothes, the food, the celebrations, the vibrant colors, the peace to the noisy bustling, chaotic city streets which are alive with people. My sister's wedding brought this out even more, I wore a sari which I loved & the wedding day was the inspiration for my Indian art below. 

I started sketching & came up with a few ideas, I simplified the design by taking the background out which also makes it more modern. Some of the sketches were painted using acrylic & others I did digitally. I created this design in different colors as Indians love color. These prints have also been made into greeting cards that can be used for any occasion. 

People tell me they like these Indian inspired designs as they're modern but still have an Indian feel. These designs have also been made into greeting cards.

Birmingham ArtsFest 2011

ArtsFest is one of the UK's biggest, most popular urban festivals. With over 600 events there's something at ArtsFest for everyone to enjoy! So no wonder I was excited when my application was successful for me to exhibit & sell my artwork there. Here are some of my own photos of the day:

Volkswagen Beetle Inspired Art

I really love the old Volkswagen Beetles & Camper vans iconic of 1960's. They're unique, full of character & are one of the most photographed cars in the world. They symbolise what the sixties is all about - love, freedom, travel, fun & adventure. That's why I love them, plus they look good too! They've been the inspiration for my VW Beetle greeting cards. I've also created a hand painted print for the Beetle lovers! 

My VW Beetle cards are inspired from my love of 1960's art & culture & VW Beetles & camper vans. My favourite design is the rainbow background one, the colours also reflect the 60's era.

1960's Inspired Mini Greeting Cards

As well as my Indian inspired mini greeting cards with matching coloured envelopes I'm also inspired by 1960's art & culture - in particular the bright coloured shapes, the VW Beetle & Campervan & generally as the decade that represents love. My cards can be used for any occasion & I've been told are really cute! I plan to open an online shop soon to sell my cards, prints & paintings. Here are some of my 60's inspired designs which have a bit of a whimsical feel which I love. 

I love 1960's culture & so created Beetle inspired designs. I had a few ideas & couldn't decide which one to use so created a few versions based on the same Beetle. Though the rainbow background one's my favourite as I love colours & rainbows & think it reflects the 60's.

Lots of left over Christmas wrapping paper?

Find yourself with lots of left over Christmas wrapping paper? There are many other uses for unwanted wrapping paper which are ideal for children's crafts. Cutting out a Christmas scene & pasting it onto plain card makes a lovely handmade Christmas card. Use red or green card instead of white card to add a festive feel. Felt tips, crayons & glitter pens can finish off the design. Think of other things to add on like cut out Christmas text & ribbons. You can also create a collage from the cut out scenes as well as using patterned paper which work well in different ways. 

You can also recycle your old Christmas cards by cutting out the pictures & using glue pads to stick them on the plain card to make new Xmas cards  for next year. Or use the pictures as gift tags.

These & other children's Christmas arts & craft projects involve reusing items around the home to make lovely handmade gifts. They're also nice projects that keep children busy during their holidays.
