wishful painting

the wish book continues

the modelling paste and stencil thing has been a recent obsession so my pages are getting lumpier, but in a pleasingly ordered, symmetrical way!

Mmmmm, snippy paper bits too. Lots of them.

and as though to reiterate.

(Yes, that H does look upsidedown, I thought that too)

printmaking

It took me a while to really get printmaking.

Messy, colorful, layered up, can’t really go wrong…

…funny, it had all the ingredients of something I’d usually love, but it didn’t get me

But something kept drawing me back to the studio, and suddenly I was hooked. These are a mix of lino & mono printing. (And a few branches)

tree prints

Did I tell you before?

I love to screenprint.

My latest screen is from a photo I took in Hyde Park.

I reckon there are something close to an infinite number of uses for screen printed trees.

(But these are just 4)

a quick flurry!

Hey folks, I’m back! Not that I’ve been anywhere else, I’ve been right here inside your computer, I just haven’t been getting the words and pictures out to you for a few weeks 😉

So here’s a little round up since I last posted……….

Looking back over the last few weeks I can see it’s been centred a lot around stencils and ink spraying

I treated myself to a bunch of bargain stencils a few weeks back. They were 1/2 price, it would’ve been sheer madness not to.

I also started making some of my own, cutting from acetate sheets, paper and card.

The paper/card ones are getting recycled into collages as (or before) their edges n corners begin to disintegrate!

Ooh and stapling! I seem to have about a gazillion boxes of staples… so naturally they’ve joined the art ingredients

This is just scuffing the surface of the iceberg of things I’ve been busying at – more pics to follow soon! 😉

shape shadows

We don’t always need fancy art materials, expensive equipment, or a vast amount of space for art….

I made this from galvanised garden wire, fuse wire & pliers,

light and shadows

I love the way the forms merge with the shadows!

colorful excitement!

Hey folks!

Today I took a bunch of my stuffs into college to use the photo studio – so I now have some properly lit pics to show you! There’s nothing to beat having a real expert set up the lighting and lend you their really good camera!

I’ve been invited to show some of my textile work in a little local exhibition,

so this is a little preview of what will be there!

deeper into the book of wishes

Yesterday I showed you the first page of my latest project – the first one I could call finished (ish).

This is the latest page, I began playing with over the weekend.

Starting out with gesso and inks, layered up and finished with hot glue blobs

Inspired by the very lovely and talented Contadina K

wishing

Just as a little aside from other makings, Not quite a scrap book, not quite a mood board… I’m calling it my Wish Book These are some elements for pages serving to crystalise in my mind the hopes I have for the near future… Delighting in the way they find their places together unplanned (such is my style!) these are the colors and shapes I am running towards the textures and lushness the future starts here! 😀

You feed my soul…

Just thinking to myself, as I click through your wonderous creations and thoughts, how much you enrich my days.

I might not say it often, but I love you guys! X
