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 have been thinking about a forthcoming exhibition at a National Trust property near here later in the Spring. I am to submit work for display in the Gardener's Bothy and for this I am making some miniature garden books.
I have long had an interest in dolls' houses and miniatures and an exhaustive search of the attic has unearthed a miniature greenhouse I made many years ago.
At that time I had made a clay tile floor, and I'd even marked clearly on the back of each tile it's relevant position.
All I can say is that either the tiles have warped in the meanwhile or I got my numbering wrong but I've struggled today setting the tiles into the floor without to many gaps.
This is the result.
I've just brushed dried tea leaves into the surface of the tiles and the gaps in the hope that it will look like earth.
It's very uneven and will make the furniture wobbly but it does add a little authenticity to the space.
I previously made a full sized mushroom and I am now trying out ideas for miniature versions.
These have to be simplified so that the small scale isn't swamped by too much detail.
Using lots of PVA glue.
It's a good job that the sun is out for once as it's going to take ages to dry.
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.
this painting lasted a little over a week on the gallery walls before someone bought it.
Another custom I´m making. It´s not finished yet.
My friend Mari Milanezi will make her outfit and I´m still thinking if I cut bang or not
Shelving units I will be using to hold the tray-size plastic boxes I store rocks in and sell out of at the gem shows (now my primary type, although I do have larger ones for any rocks that will not fit into those.)
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.
El desarrollo hasta el momento... / So far this is the sample that looks closer to what i had imagined.
Unintentional Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss painting. Honestly, It was not planned, but I think it resembles her.
All for the sake of mounting the TV. In hind sight, it would have been a lot quicker and cheaper to get a piece of furniture and be done with it eh. Of course that would be too easy. So what we thought that would be a couple of hours weekend DIY project, turned into a 3-weekend job which included calling in an electrician :(
Now we are 15% closer to completing the second last room in the house to complete the never-ending projects which started almost 4 years ago. We are getting there...slowly, hopefully but surely ;).
