Hello. I thought I would take a day off yesterday, to give you chance to catch up, ha ha. No, that's an excuse. I am busy with the picture, and when I have my creative head on I have to stick with it. I need time to unscramble the ideas I have, to look at the picture as it is emerging, to rearrange the pieces I have decided to put on it, and try new ideas as they come into my head. Then step back and wait. Walk away from it. Go back to it. Study it, what colours does it need? What is missing? Is it too cluttered? Lots to think about.
A couple of pictures? Oh go on then. I have cut this shape from a piece of upholstery fabric, now I am embellishing it. I sealed the edges by applying PVA glue with a paintbrush, this stops it from fraying.
This piece is still not finished, more to add to it. The darker beads are aquamarine colour, not come out very well in the photo.
ha thanks for the pictures! Love seeing what you are creating!
ReplyDeleteI saw your blog on someone's blog list and the appeal of your blog title drew me for a visit! You have a lot of good information here. Also have to say that your beaded piece is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Leigh. Glad you have dropped in.
DeleteCan't wait to see the whole thing. It is looking good.
ReplyDeleteIn a hundred years I would probably never have thought of making a picture using the back of upholstery fabric, very clever and looking VERY good.
ReplyDeleteHi,nice to see the artwork and progress.Am glad that you take time away from your blog and go with your creative instincts.Getting highly focused and working on something you love to do is very much a priority.I'm amazed that you do all you do and still devote time to your blog as well.It never seems slap-dash even if it was!ha,ha.Regards,Destemona.
ReplyDeleteDanneke here, ........ Ilona, Sainsburys have all the soya, coconut,almond and other milks on offer for £1 a carton, noticed this morning when I got my box of long life, it had been reduced for a box of 6 cartons and was now £4 buying it singularly was a lot more money. .......Looking forward to seeing the finished art work, it looks interesting so far.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that Danneke. I'll have a look.
