Ghosts of Wonderland




Cornish Witch
(This piece was done for a themed Photoshop contest.
I did not enter this piece, I just did it to see if I could
do something on the subject.)




(This was the original source of the above collage piece.)




Christmas Wedding
(This was entered in a Photoshop contest.
I believe I placed 9th, which was a bit insulting,
considering I put a lot more work into this than
those that were ahead of me.)


Now for some recent paintings!





Lemon Honeybee Cake




Angel Bunny




Balloon Bunny

That's all I have for you right now, but there will hopefully be some more in the near future!

Gateau Tour de Summer


Gateau Tour de Summer

Altered Art Painting

by Chris Plastic







This fantastical cake is painted in acrylics

on a piece of moderately distressed paper.

(If you think that’s heavily distressed,

you haven’t seen some of my other work.)



This prelude to summer is loaded with strawberries

and orange and
lemon

slices.

The lowest tiers are layered with lady fingers,

the bottom row of which are dipped in chocolate.

To complete the effect, this magnificent culinary delight

sits proudly atop a vintage blue milk glass pedestal with a scalloped rim.



The overall size of this piece is 6 x 12",

so it will definitely command attention wherever you put it.

The colours have been meticulously blended

to create vibrant tones that jump off the paper.

Keep in mind this has several sharp creases,

as well as other rough spots, including a tear on the left side.

All this has been done to add to the character of the piece.

As you can also see from the above image,

the painting is initialed and dated at the lower left corner.

Summer Fantasy Cake

Summer Fantasy Cake
Altered Art Painting

by Chris Plastic




This is a fantastical cake painted in watercolours on a paint chip.
It is loaded with strawberries and orange and lemon slices.
The lowest tiers are layered with lady fingers,
the bottom row of which are dipped in chocolate.

The paint chip has not been altered, other than by my painting,
in other words it has not been cut and the hole at the
bottom left was there originally.
Also note that the above image has been formatted
with the frame and title
to personalize the setting here.
Below is how the painting actually appears,
although a bit smaller and the colours
not quite so saturated.
Also the flowers are more pink,
as opposed to the mauve they appear here.



Due to the nature of the piece, there could be no corrections,
so this was all very carefully sketched on here
and then delicately painted.
The piece is 3 x 5 3/8" and is initialed and dated
at the bottom left hand corner.
It will have a clear coating applied so that painting doesn't rub off.

The original of this item is listed on eBay
and there is also a section in my Cafe Press shop
with a number of items
featuring this design.
