Artistic Projects I have Made

 

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 

Artistic Products I have Made

For this week's Top Ten Tuesday, we were meant to pick any topic which isn't bookish. I decided to pick art that I have made. Here are ten of the art projects I have done over the years that I loved making. These are many of my other hobbies which I like to do other than reading. Though, many times I will do each of these while listening to an audiobook. 

1. Paint By Number Painting for my Dad 

- I used to make artwork for my father for his birthday, Father's day, and Christmas. I miss making them for him so much. This is one of my favorite pieces I ever did for him. Loved watching him closely examine it and look for all the small details. 

2. Star Wars Paint By Number Painting for my Brother

- Definitely the most challenging one I have done because of all the small details. Love how it turned out.  

3. Rose drawing on a Painted Background

- This is the first rose I ever drew. I used a video I watched on Youtube teaching me how to draw one. The background was one I painted on a canvas, then I copied the rose and background onto a flashdrive so I could digitally combine them. I am using this as a background for one of my poems. 

 

4. Summer Diamond Painting

- I absolutely love this diamond art painting I made from Michaels. It is on a wooden backing and looks beautiful up on the wall. If anyone is into diamond art, I highly recommend checking out Michaels because they have so many like this and they are decently priced.

5. Barnegat Lighthouse Model I made for my Mom 

- Mom's a big fan of lighthouses, especially the New Jersey Barnegat Lighthouse which is around where she grew up. So for her birthday this year, I decided to make her a lighthouse in a bottle modeled off of Barnegat. I have also placed a picture of Old Barney beside it for comparison. I took this picture when we went there on her birthday this year. 

6. Dragon coloring pages from Worlds within Worlds: Color New Realms Coloring Book by Kerby Rosanes 

- I love coloring in adult coloring books while listening to audiobooks. This is from my favorite coloring book. There are so many great images throughout the entire book. I have to get back into doing them again. It's been too long. 

7. Night Sky Paint By Number for my Dad

- I love how this painting turned out especially with the colors.  

8. Hummingbird Diamond Painting for my Mom

- Another diamond painting I made, this time for my mother.  

 

9. Sand Art 

- One of my favorite pieces of shelf decor. I made this a few years ago and love how it looks on the shelf along with my books. 

10. Turtle Crystal Puzzle 

- I love the crystal puzzles from BePuzzled. I have done both this one and also one of the Snoopy ones. Turtles are my favorite animal and they look great with my books.
