Okay another swap going on here. I hope she ain't looking. Hey I just noticed my "new" 1980's bracelets got in the photo too. They are soooo cool I remember having loads of those and some matching jelly shoes too.
In the UK this rare orchid is now confined to the southern part of England where it lives in short, cropped grass on chalk or limestone. The small size and overall green-yellow colouration would make it difficult to find although it can be in such huge numbers at Noar Hill that it doesn't take you too long. The name comes from the strong honey scent.
Still missing more bulk and details on the chest area, his left arm cannon and the engines and wings. He's almost the size of a voyager right now, when I add the wings he'll be way taller than the animated Prime in the background!
In 2010 i think Im gonna focus on a new set of work, continuing from my college work of paintings and digital prints, but making it exclusively paintings. I like trying my hand at digital, but its painting that really moves me.
So Im going to do less photography and more paintings in 2010. Im hoping to exhibit them, so I may, may not (?) post them all on here, but show you glimpses of them instead. College isnt going too well mentally, so I need to find a focus to work.
Im also nearly at the end of a 4 year project of painting 3 sets of Buddhist Statues for a local Buddhist Centre's very large shrine, which will be the main focus of the whole community. This has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.
My B.A is looking less likely to be finished as Im no longer enjoying it.......
Thank you to all the artists and photographers on here, who really inspire me to carry on working. xox
I bought three canvases last week and they have been intimidating me ever since.
Two are needed for projects which I have almost finished and the other ( the largest) is for an exhibition in the Autumn.
I took the plunge today as the weather has improved overnight and prepared the backgrounds for the first two pieces.
One is covered with tissue, the other with pieces of French newspaper. They will both be coated with gesso later
Another balloon in the making~A project I enjoy doing over and over and one that doesn't stick around for very long.
I tried to tally up all the ones I've made over the years and its around 40. Even though this blog post is old, it outlines what it takes to put one of these together:
I have beautiful things to play with this week, like gorgeous wool blanketing samples. Incredibly soft, they will be put to work in January to make some very special Cuddly Cats.
Blogged 19 November 2009.
Decorative grid sample. The strips are felt, decorated with heat bonded enamelling powder and the links are painted paper. This could be developed further
I'm starting some mixed media pieces which require some preparatory work.
This picture shows the result of ironing the inside of a crisp packet between two pieces of plain paper.
I may leave it unadorned or I may decide to paint or otherwise embellish it.
My old notebooks from my fabric designing days.

Okay so there is this person that keeps getting rid of this really great vintage knit fabric. All I have to say is one man's trash is another man's treasure. Gosh I just love thrift stores.
