love for the bunnies.

The newest addition to Designs by Steppie: "Bunny Love"



These little bunnies are in love... and have got even more love to spread to you and your home!

This is an original mixed media painting on high quality canvas stretched on a 8" x 8" frame. The tree and bunnies are cut out of quality patterned tissue paper, and were placed onto a bright painted backdrop with quality acrylics.

"Bunny Love" currently comes in two different colors.










Coming soon to Designs by Steppie?
Adorable quality prints of "Bunny Love" matted and framed!

modern abstractions.

I just returned from my trip in Sin City for Hip Hop Internationals two nights ago, and couldn't wait to get back and start painting again.

But before I go into my new creations, I've got to say: the trip to Las Vegas with my fellow CADC heads - it was absolutely amazing. We didn't proceed to the Worlds competition, but placed 4th in the USA finals. But more importantly? We met some amazing people from all over the country - and all over the world! Definitely an unforgettable trip.

But is it nerdy that I was excited to come back to make some new artwork? Probably, but there's no shame here!

So, without further ado!

This one was a fun one - and has inspired future paintings. I'd love to know YOUR feedback - please leave me comments! I love receiving them!

mixer.

So, I've become recently obsessed with the idea of mixed media. For those unfamiliar with the term, it basically encompasses all artwork that combines two or more different types of medium... whether it be acrylic, paper, ink, buttons, etc.

For me, I've always been quite fascinated with printed fabrics, but because I have zero experience with a needle and thread, didn't know how I could incorporate it into my own artwork. Until now, of course.


This is the first in my fabric and acrylic mixed media series, titled "GIRAFFE SILHOUETTE."

Hand selected fabric (with a brown texturized fabric with turquoise spots) was stretched and stapled to a 9"x12" mounted canvas. After using a protective sealer, I then used acrylic to paint a silhouette of a giraffe (ooh, how I adore cute animals!).


Now that my first experimentation with fabric and acrylics is completed, I have a whole new bag of printed fabrics that I've hand selected that are fun, inspiring, and delicious! So, I can't wait to get started on those when I get back from my Vegas trip (to read more about my Vegas trip for Hip Hop Internationals, look for my post titled, "panda obsession")!
