Everyone Loves A Good Cupcake!
One of the the dedicated teachers I work with a couple days a week (as a reading tutor at the school where I was formally the visual art teacher) asked me to make a a cupcake themed painting for a charity event for a school. While cupcakes are not something I typically paint- I thought it would be a fun project- and for a great cause! I decided to do a multimedia painting- using collage and sewing to create a fun piece of cupcake art! Here it is...
This fabric- posted recently on My List Becomes His List- was the inspiration for the background design- which is hand painted.
(Zenyatta Mondatta by Shumacher in Peacock)
SO gorgeous...and if you really want to drool- check out their fabric selection- it's perfection!
The foreground, plate and cupcake are made out of decorative paper and fabric.
What do you think?
I love it! I have to admit- I was a bit skeptical when you told me about this project. While I LOVE cupcakes (who doesn't) I've seen quite a bit of cupcake art around etsy and it's cute, but not your style. I think you did an awesome job of making a piece that is appealing and consistent with your other work. I love the mixed media and the textures you created! The subdued palette is also really nice and tones down the cute factor.
