Hand Painted Fashion Posters from 1921 - Fred Rusic

Happy New Year to all readers!!

Thank you for your loyal support for the past year :)

Since October we started offering Handmade Gifts from Local Artists in our store. Now we have Australian Artists who have joined our services and are proudly showcasing their creations in our store.

Today we are introducing our most recent artists Fred Rusic. We met Fred at local Ferntree Gully Village Artisan Market early this month.

We loved his meticulously handpainted posters. We soon invited him  to showcase it on our website so many more craft lovers can view them.

Fred has collected these vintage 1921 Fashion Prints over the years and now he bleaches them and hand paints them with great detail and care. He frames these posters on light weight white boards. So they are ready to decorate your beautiful homes :)

The posters can be detached from the white boards if you need to reframe them or have some different ideas.

Please Note: No digital means have been used to produce these colour effects! 

Let us know, what you think about Fred's artwork, by leaving us a comment below!

Birthday Party Invitations - Photoshop Art

Hello lovely people, 

Today I am going to share Birthday Party invites which I created in Photo shop for my little one in past two years. I love making unique colourful invites for every occasion as its a good excuse to refresh my photo shop skills.

I love using photo shop to create unique designs as its so easy to use and also the end result can be shared through various mediums.

I printed the above card on sparkly pastel pink card sheet and cut the edges with quirky scissors. Posted these unique invites by mail to all our guests. It was nice surprise for the guests as every one's use to receiving invites online :D 

Also I used all her favourite animals and made it bright and colourful.

Now you can order this product from our shop. My first handmade product is showcased on our website :)

For the above card I used her favourite colours and some expressive photo to convey my message. Being toddler she's obsessed with her own photos and have very particular liking towards colours. I used some bold colours and the circles to match it with the party theme. 

This time I sent the invite through email just to surprise people. 

Please share your photoshop project by leaving a link in the comment window. 

Happy crafting! 

Thanks so much for visiting The Craft Gallery. I would be honoured if you would take a moment to like our Facebook Page "The Craft Gallery"
