New Works

I drew and painted these parrots all by myself and used acrylic paints. My mum painted some as well but mine were better than hers so she threw hers away and wouldnt let me put them on the blog hehe.

This is Van Goghs Starry Night (my interpretation). It is also done with acrylics and it took me over a week to do as you had to wait for each layer to dry before doing the next.
I was very pleased with the finished painting.
This is my first ever cross stitch. I couldnt finish it today because my mum wouldnt let me. She said it was too late and I have to finish it tomorrow because we went shopping instead ;-(
It is on 11 count aida and i want to turn it into a christmas tree decoartion when it is finished. Can you tell what it is going to be?
