This was for a colleague who is from Fiji. When I asked her what colours she likes, she told me pink and orange. I was going for a lush, tropical feel and highly saturated colours. I had a lot of fun with this, and got to use some of my bollywood braiding. It was also […]
I forgot to say that the past two posts contained photos that I took myself, with Daedalist’s funky camera. He has taken all the other photos for me. The white on the face of the lady in Etoile is due to the flash making the sealer all shiny, but it was my first attempt and […]
I made this for one of my work colleagues, the 2nd of 5 that I want to finish by the end of the year. (Previous effort was Put on your wings). Etoile is named after the stars on the woman. I wanted to use black and red for my colleague, and I really like the […]
This was the class I did at Darling Harbour a while back. It was very quick, about an hour all up. First I put texture paste on the canvas, then added the acrylic paint. What that was drying I painted the shapes – the big flower and the two buds. Then they were glued on […]
Last weekend we went away, and amongst other things had a few Rock Band 2 sessions. We have unlocked the Endless Setlist, and even made a start on it, but decided to wait until we were less tired and there were more of us (as it is better to have a few extra people to […]
This was delivered to Tanith a few weeks ago – I finally resolved the issue of looking unfinished. I added ‘Exhibit A’, the microscope slide, the gold foil swirls, and the braiding down the bottom. Very happy with it now.
I did a 3D canvas art class last week at the Craft & Quilting Expo held at Darling Harbour last weekend. It was a different style of canvas art, and I had a lot of fun. I’ll post a picture of my efforts soon. I am also just about finished another piece – it is […]
Le Jardin – mixed media, 15cm x 30cm, May 2009. Irridescent watercolour on canvas, with collage, stamping, bollywood braid, paperflowers and found objects. As mentioned in a previous post, this was a gift for someone, and had to be finished on a tight deadline. The cluster of flowers was not part of my original concept, […]
Daedalist kindly took some more photos of this in better light. The details are more visible, the colours are a lot clearer, and the writing on the canvas is actually readable.
I have nearly finished one of the two canvases I am working on – it is a gift for my brother’s gf who is visiting with him from the UK, and they are leaving on Monday morning. So I’m on a very tight deadline. That is ok – I added the finishing touches this evening […]
