OWOH

This is my little blog post for One World One Heart. - Link below!



So for those of you who have never been to my little blog world before I'm Dani, i'm from sunny east Anglia in England, it rains all the time and its by the sea. But I like the sea, and i don't mind the rain. . .so its not half bad.

I just do a bunch of painting and bits and pieces, loads of scrappy stuff. . .art journal type things, i have hundreds but then i start one and never ever finish it. I like to paint over things again and again, texture texture texture!! I like mixing sand in with acrylics and oils and getting a super clumping finish, i just like being messy really. . .but i can paint "realistic" too. . .kinda!! 

I don't sell any of my work, maybe one day i will, but if you are interested hit the painting at the bottom of the page, it takes you to my art page which has a bunch of photography (i like taking photos, they're not always good) aswell as a whole range of painting stuff.

I work full time and i'm also doing a degree in English literature, i love reading and writing stories and writing really. . . main reason i started this! So i don't have much time for the crafty side of life, maybe one day it will be my full time job. . .here's to hoping. 

Anyway, i'm giving away something different, its a silk painting i did a year or so ago. . .and unfortunately it sits around looking silky but it just doesn't fit in my house! Someone else might like it more (imagine the colours half way inbetween the two, i couldn't get a true colour of it really its a nice size too, worth putting on your wall!!!). .. .If you're reading this you probably clicked the link from OWOH, if you don't know what on earth i'm going on about head over there and have a read the link is at the top! :)



Thanks for stopping by!!
