mixed media collage works, in acrylic. I have been burning it up lately, and these are stages of works in progress. eventually i want to make time lapse gifs.
My new project is to make a mixed media piece based on the prison door of Stafford Gaol which Emma Sproson describes in her memoires.
She speaks in some detail about the marks and messages scratched onto its surface.
The base of the piece is calico, on to which I have hand stitched further pieces of calico and linen.
I am now adding another layer of hand stitching as well as areas of PVA. I have scratched marks into the surface of the PVA and when this layer is dry I hope to add further layers of acrylic modelling paste, emulsion paint and then a top layer of acrylic paint ( and anything else which comes to hand!).
I hope that the final impression is that of a dark, multi-layered piece.
It measures about 3 foot by 4 foot at the moment, but it could end up much larger.
I don't know if this is the technical way to be doing the stem stitch, but I like the way this looks so I really don't care. ;)
The day after the Sewing for Pleasure show. My desk.
I bought several exciting items, some of which I used today. I also tidied up my samples and used them to make cards.
Grease Alley, an industrial backwater neighborhood in a blade-runner/fifth-element genre. These shops back onto a trash and old parts-strewn gully, where the junk skiff comes by to pick up broken components, industrial leftovers, and the occasional "borrowed" part.
My latest art card done in pyrography and some colored pencil. The majority is burned.
This is a 2.5" by 3.5" ACEO nearly finished.
This is the back, again, with the shells just placed to see how they look. The different sections are embroidered in different styles, to reinforce their differences.
Most of these images were treated with acrylic wax and then crumpled and rubbed.
The final image was untreated and then crumpled.
Much later I discovered that if you then turned the image over, the reverse of the paper had become a wonderful, colourful piece, as the ink had bled into the wax.
The only way I remember what this canvas originally looked like - so glad I thought to tuck this note in the back of the canvas.
