Hi everyone 😘 My latest UnicornPostbox blog post is progression photos of a diamond art of me and my boyfriend Aaron ❤️ Hope you like! 💕

Looking back at the progression photos 📸 you can sort of tell they were taken at different times of day, with different lighting! A tad orange in some 🧡 Mr David Dickinson and his little oompa loompa almost, ha!… Kind of impossible to lose the ‘orangeness’ altogether…Nevertheless, here is the finished diamond art, unframed and framed:

Aaron bought this diamond art for me off of Amazon for Christmas 2024, 🎄 the day we actually became a couple 😍 (It’s taken me quite a while to get round to it!) Definitely a meaningful, sentimental project 💕 It reminds me a bit of a Monet painting, a bit abstract and blurry up close, but we become more recognisable from a distance 😀

For my next blog post, it’ll be a travel description of mine and my grandma’s Llandudno holiday! I’m so looking forward to it ☺️ So, watch this space!

Thank you as ever for taking the time to view/read, I appreciate your support 💕 Much love, Lauren xx

Hi 👋 My latest UnicornPostbox blog post is progression photos of an amateur Easter inspired hedgehog pub painting…hope you like!

First of all, we painted a beige peach sort of shape in the middle of the horizontal canvas, adding little beige ears. The painting then resembled a lion cub, I thought, as we incorporated the brown spikes; like a mane. Using our small brush, we created white acrylic highlights and gave a lighter, creamy texture to certain parts of the face. Easter yellow, purple and blue pastel spikes really jazzed it up, as well as cute thickly painted flowers and abstract splodges, literally flicked onto the canvas. This step is always so much fun! I gave Harriet white whiskers, a lighter shade of brown defined her ears – also black features, such as a cute button nose and cheerful smile, made her especially elegant… This was a lovely project, although she’s amateur, I still think she’s rather adorable 🥰🥰 The pub painting classes are always so enjoyable, with cheesy music, a glass or two, joy and laughter all round 😃 And here is my finished artwork:

For my next blog posts in the next month or so, expect diamond arts 💎 🎨 , a travel blog, and theatre review for sure 🥰

Thank you as ever for taking the time to view/read. Much love, and happy Easter, Lauren xx
