peanut's creations

Nice plants and Animals

Created by peanut 3 years ago

"My husband and I spent this Saturday morning at the Florida Botanical Gardens (which we like to call Flogar or Flobot Gar) It was overcast, and ridiculously hot, humid and sweat-inducing, but we had fun and were able to snap some good macro photos of the flowers, plants and mini-animals. If..."

Tiny Lizard Photographs Plus

Created by peanut 3 years ago

"I got up to let my dog out this morning and to my delight, there was a tiny baby lizard on my screened in patio. It was lucky that I spotted him, because he was soooo little. I guess a lady lizard crawled in and laid some tiny lizard eggs in our potted plant soil. A few days later, VOILA! Tiny baby..."

Xerox-Style Watercoloring

Created by peanut 3 years ago

"I have some buddies in my home town who just opened up a recording studio. On my visit home this May, I got to hang out at the studio a bit and the walls are lacking a certain... quantity of wall-art. My homeboy said they had been looking for someone with my painting "skills" (If you can really..."

Nanday Conure, Goffin Cockatoo, English Budgie! Some graphics I created

Created by peanut 3 years ago

"http://www.cafepress.com/beaksandfeet I opened a t-shirt/tote bag website with a pet bird theme. These are some images I designed to print on shirts and sell. I've always seen generic "I love my (Insert Favorite Bird Breed Here)" T-shirts, so I thought I would elaborate on bird personalities to..."

Pillowcases: Now for BABIES!

Created by peanut 4 years ago

"This project is a set of 2 baby pillows for my sister's new baby. I hope she doesn't frequent creationsnet, because I'd like this to be a surprise when I give it to her in a week or so. For the background, I used various cotton fabrics and the bunnies are felt. I was pretty pleased with how they..."

Florida Flora Fauna

Created by peanut 4 years ago

"I walk my dog to this pond place about a mile from my apartment complex about once a week. I always see a lot of beautiful flowers and birds when I go, so I brought my handy digi-cam this time. The main pictures are of a purple passion flower plant I walk by every time. It's a huge viney creeping..."

SWOOP! Impossible seagull feeding shot

Created by peanut 4 years ago

"This shot is seriously one in a million. You can imagine our joyous surprise when we came home to look at the pics we got and discovered this..."

Mine! at Sunset

Created by peanut 4 years ago

"Thanksgiving 2007, my husband and I were alone, so we decided to share part of the holiday with the birds at the beach. Sunset lighting + the flash to light up the birds yielded some beautiful..."

Swan Painting

Created by peanut 4 years ago

"I painted this for my parents as a combined birthday gift when they came for a visit. Neither picture has true-to-life color. One was taken with the flash, and one without. Also, both are blurry because my old camera got a piece of sand in it. I think it's a little bit too turquoise, but..."

Igunana (nanana...nana....na......na!)

Created by peanut 4 years ago

"Finding myself bored and having not created anything in a while, I decided to draw on the back of scratch paper an iguana (yes I'm aware of the misspelling in the title. The error was initially a typo, then I thought of a song to go with it.) I found the drawing a little bland and in need of color,..."

Snow friends

Created by peanut 5 years ago

"Across the lot from my office building, there is an Asian all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. Daily, leftover shrimp, crab, fish, oysters and what-nots are dumped into the back dumpster, left ajar for crows and seagulls to have a seafood jamboree. Crows often carry food over to the lot of our office to..."

Peanut : Edible...but would you want to eat him?

Created by peanut 5 years ago

"This is a painting that I painted for my husband for Christmas of our baby sun conure parrot, Peanut. This bird is the reason why my login ID on this thing is..."

5 day orchids

Created by peanut 5 years ago

"This painting originally was meant to be one of a series of three paintings.... I had painted three same-sized canvases with a bunch of washes to try and make a good background for some other things, most likely birds, because I usually paint birds. Eventually, all three didn't look the same and I..."

LOST AT SEA!!!!!

Created by peanut 5 years ago

"This would be a painting of a generic tern. It's acrylic paint on canvas. Pretty straight forward, it's nice to be painting..."

Budgerigars: The Adventure

Created by peanut 5 years ago

"Alas, my wonderful husband bought me a brand new set of acrylic paints and I can get started painting again. This is a painting of two of my budgies, Bludger and Pixy. I'm hoping someday they'll "make friends" and bless us with many new tiny babykeets. Someday........"

Contributions from Zazoo

Created by peanut 5 years ago

"This is simply a photo of a feather stuck in my keyboard. I started out taking photos of my rock collection, because I thought the colors would look nice. Needless to say, they didn't and I resorted to plucking a feathered friend to satisfy my photography craving. Actual pluckage never occurred...."

Green TIGER....in acrylics!

Created by peanut 5 years ago

"I painted it in highschool. Haven't done much painting since....I did a purple zebra around the same time, but it's lost forever. There aren't any whiskers on the tiger. Sorry. UPDATE!!!!I found the purple zebra along with a pink..."
