Mother and Child Giraffes Products and Art

Most of my art up until now has been paintings and outline drawings. But I recently read a book that inspired me to try something new.

by CherylsArt

Can you tell what I did? Does it look like a painting? Actually it is a drawing. First I drew the outline of the bodies. Then I used Sharpie Markers to color in the base color. Then I used Prang Colored Pencils - to add depth and shading. Voila.

These cards with a mother and child giraffe are a great choice for Mother's day.

Here are the giraffes printed on tshirts; the mother and child can have the same design on their shirts.

Let me know what you think. Have you done any art in one medium that looks like it's been done in a different medium?

Art on Products - Educational Dart Boards

Did you ever want to play darts with some added challenge? How about playing darts where you can spell out words? If you get really good, you can spell out a sentence. No more having to aim at one particular spot in the center. The challenge is to aim for a particular spot in a particular order.

If your aim isn't quite on par with your target letter, you can spell a word starting with whatever letter you land on!

What will be your spelling pleasure?

Spelling Word Game Alphabet Dart Board Green

by CherylsArt

The blank spaces can be used for spaces between words. Points can be earned for spelling a word correctly, or however you want to play.

If spelling is not your game, then perhaps math is. Do you long for a creative way to practice equations? You can begin with simple equations and work your way up to more complex equations. Again, you can earn points for making a correct equation; that's if you're keeping score.

Cool and Fun Math Game Numbers Dart Board

by CherylsArt

If spelling and math are not your forte, then perhaps eating healthier is. This fruit and vegetable dart board is designed for fun, and awareness to include more fruits and vegetables in your life. Enjoy. Wouldn't this be a fun way to order produce!

Art on Products - Female Runner Running Silhouette

Are you a cross country fan or runner? Here you will find a variety of products that feature my black silhouette painting of a female runner, running.


The female depicted in this silhouette was inspired by my daughter. She was a cross country runner herself. I remember going to a lot of meets; we got to do quite a bit of travel for them.

The silhouette is shown here on a white watch, if you want to keep track of the time. It comes in a variety of styles and colors. You probably already know this, but just in case, if you're the one running, keep your eyes on where you are going. You can always check the time after you cross the finish line. : )

I created a Cross Country Tracker Log Book that is a great way for the runner to keep track of their meets, distances, water intake, and more. It has monthly pages to keep track of water intake, weekly log charts for practices and meets, and weekly recap pages of lessons learned and what you want to implement for the next week. This is one thing I would liked to have had for my daughter when she ran cross country. She could more easily remember the different races and what took place at each one. This Cross Country Tracker Log Book link will take you to Amazon. As an Amazon affiliate, I earn income on qualified purchased made through this link. Thank you.

Art on Products - Kaleidoscope Cats Mandala

Here you will find a fun outline drawing of four cats arranged in a circular kaleidoscope pattern, with four hearts arranged in the center where the cats' bodies meet.

I love cats and making cat designs. I was intrigued by some of the mandala type coloring books and liked the ones that were more simple; less lines are actually more fun to me. Voila, the idea was born. A mandala of cats, which also reminds me of a kaleidoscope design.

May and or your cat loving friends and family enjoy some cat-tastic fun.

These four cats can be enjoyed as they are, and on some ideas for painting and coloring fun.

For some painting fun, the cats are printed on wrapped canvas. This can be a fun kids project and or one for adults. It can be the purr-fect solution for the blank space on the wall. It can also make a nice gift.

Another option for painting is a cute apron. These aprons are a 35/65 cotton-poly twill blend and are machine washable. I recommend washing the aprons first, without fabric softner, and drying them completely before painting. Place protection under the apron to prevent bleed through of the paints. I have used acrylic fabric paint before with good results.

Art On Products - Pink Flying Pig Sprinkling Blue Stars

I had heard of the saying, When pigs fly, back in my younger day. I was surprised when I met my husband that there is a city that actually has statues of flying pigs,Cincinnati. I can't say why I decided to paint a flying pig. It just occurred to me to paint one. And not just any flying pig. This pig is carrying a magic wand that sprinkles stars. At least that is what I imagine it doing. The wand has a blue star on its tip. From it, the pig was going to generate more blue stars. How cool is that!

Here is this cool pink pig pictured on stickers.

Pink Flying Pig and Blue Stars Wand, Stickers

by CherylsArt

I didn't want to use anybody else's idea of a flying pig. So I went with the idea of what's round like that flies. A bumble bee of course. So I used images of flying bumble bees to get my general drawing and wings done. Then I browsed images of pigs to get the general placement of the snout, ear, toes, etc. Next he got a magic wand with a blue star.

Because it's magic when pigs fly...

Here is this cool pig pictured on throw pillows.

Wouldn't it be awesome to have fun imagining a desired outcome!

Art on Products - Peace Flag Products

The original flag for the United States had the thirteen red and white stripes, with a circle of stars. Using that as the basis for a new idea, I decided to make a peace sign out of the stars and place them on a background of red and white stripes. Their number is still thirteen, and there are fifty stars that make up the peace sign.

Art on Products, Dragonfly Painting

I saw this dragonfly when we were on vacation. It was perched on a rail outside on the patio. I wondered if he would he stay there long enough so that I could take his picture. He did! I love the coloring and the delicate looking, yet strong wings. I love painting things from nature. He was a delight to see. May you enjoy this colorful dragonfly too.

Here he is on greeting cards to help send your message. The front of the card says, Buzzing your way... The inside says, to wish you a happy day.

Buzzing your way...dragonfly, cards
by CherylsArt

Dragonflies are commonly found near fresh water. There is a pond that is approximately 1/2 mile from where I live, and a river that is about 1-1/2 miles away, in the opposite direction. We do have the sightings of dragonflies where we live in West Virginia, in the spring and summer.

I thought this handsome dragonfly would make a lovely puzzle. You can choose from a variety of puzzle sizes, and also the number of puzzle pieces, from easy to challenging.

I referred to this dragonfly as a he, but actually, I don't know whether it is a male or a female. Male dragonflies have a bulge on the underside near the abdomen, whereas the female underside is smooth.

Here is the same dragonfly done in watercolor for a softer look:

I hope that you enjoyed my dragonfly options and hope you enjoy more dragonfly sightings.

Sometimes you can see a baby fish swimming with its mother. You can see what I mean on this apron. These fish can be colored in with paint markers for a one of a kind tropical look, or they can be worn as is for a simple drawing design.

Art on Products, Yellow Swallowtail Butterfly Stationery

The swallowtail butterfly has a tail like extension on its bottom wings; that is how it got its name, swallowtail.

I love butterflies, no matter what kind they are, and I also love painting them. The yellow swallowtail is one of many butterflies that I've painted so far. In this one the butterfly itself is done in pointillism. The stems and leaves are painted with regular acrylic blending techniques.

This pretty butterfly is shown to the left of the address on lined stationery. The address is easy to personalize on the provided template form.

Art on Products - Rainbow Mosaic Butterfly

I knew I wanted to paint a rainbow butterfly, but I didn't know quite how I was going to do it. So I just let the thought ponder, and went on about other tasks at hand. Then one day, I had another idea. The crackle medium for acrylic paints. Yes! That's how I can do the pattern on the wings.



I drew the butterfly, from a side view, and base coated it with a cream like color. After that dried, I applied the Crackle Medium.

After that was dry, I added a contrasting top color. As the top coat dries, the crackles will appear. The contrasting color helps the crackles lines to show through.



I had originally thought of painting the crackle lines in black, but after painting in my rainbow colors, I liked the look of the lighter color showing through. So after I painted all the rainbow colors, I painted the inbetween lines in white, and just the directional lines in black.



In my Corel Paint Shop Pro, I erased the background color so the butterfly could print, without a white border. This way the customer can choose a different background color.
