Over the past few months, I have had the pleasure of creating a series of commissioned paintings for the lovely, Carla Dawes, the textile artist behind Bubbles at the Head.
Carla, who lives in NSW, rescues vintage doilies and adds her own beautiful embroidered designs to them.
Carla emailed me and asked me to paint her creations so that they could be reproduced as greeting cards. The series is titled 'Little Creatures'. I immediately loved the idea and thoroughly enjoyed painting them.
To see more of Carla's work you can head to www.bubblesatthehead.com
It has been a wonderful experience painting something that another artist initially created and I look forward to finding further collaborative endeavours in the future.
Here are some photographs of the finished paintings:

All packaged up and ready to go:
I'm interested in creating more custom doily paintings for people and will have an Etsy account up and running soon! In the meantime, any enquires can be sent to my email: josephinemead@hotmail.com
Take care! xo
