I did a blog on polka dots; however this one is on a particular style of dots, called pointillism. The short definition of pointillism is painting a picture with dots. The dots themselves can be spread out, close together, random, overlapping, organized, one size, small to large, and/or various sizes. The dots can be round, or they can be odd shaped, as when one paints with the side of a paint brush.
This U. S. flag done in pointillism is an example of both organized and random dots, which is pictured on postcards.
The kayak scene, on a postcard, involved a lot of random and overlapping dots. It was inspired by a kayaking lesson that my husband took.
Butterflies can look so intricate, and pointillism is a way to enhance this quality, as demonstrated on these custom address labels. They make a great choice for butterfly lovers, for anyone who wants a more girly look, etc.
Pointillism can be used as an outline, as shown on the morning glory flower, on wedding invitations. It can be used to give elegant attention to an outline design.
Pointillism can be a fun way to enhance facial features!
I like various styles of pointillism, and I like the affect. My favorite type to paint is lots of random dots with colorful paint markers; it goes much faster.
Do you like pointillism? What is your favorite pointillism picture?

Art on Products - Cake Art Designs
Cake decorating people; this blog is for you. You can choose from a variety of cake designs on postcards, business cards, mugs, and tote bags.
This first design features a simple drawing of a young child enjoying some birthday cake, which is printed on postcards.
Today, cake decorating has taking on a whole new meaning; cake decorators are artists in their own right. Instead of painting on traditional canvases though, icing and fondant has become their canvas of choice. And the cakes have taken on a whole new dimension. Once traditionally round or rectangle, cakes can now be shaped like cars with racing stripes, or shaped like a cruise ship for a bon voyage, and more. The cake decorator has definitely become more of an artist.
When cake decorators don't have the time to design an artistic business card, what do they do instead; they take advantage of the talents from other artists that have access to different kinds of creative tools, and let them do the painting! Here they can easily customize these cake themed business cards featuring a double layered, yellow cake with red, white, and pink icing.
They then can have more time to sit down an enjoy a beverage in a favorite mug, admiring the fun reminder that it's cooking time!
So they can then get back to their other talent, baking wonderful cakes.

What can a bride do to carry last minute essentials along for her wedding day?
Grab a tote bag designed especially for her.
In joy. I hope you enjoyed these fun cake designs and have found what you are looking for.
