Retreat art






This is some of my work from the classes I attended at the recent art retreat. The book above isn't quite finished yet, I still have to work on the cover. The class was Nina's Parlor Question book class. It's a tiny little book that fits into your hand and is made from small cabinet cards. I thoroughly enjoyed this class. We all went at our own pace, I haven't finished all of my pages, but I can add to it later. Poor Nina had an awful flu virus while she was here and was slowly loosing her voice. Nina's such a professional teacher, she continued on regardless.



This was my effort in Traci's Art Quilt class. This class was amazing. I learnt some wonderful printing techniques and made lots of papers. I'm looking forward to experimenting further. Traci's a great teacher, sharing so many of her ideas.




What can I say about Misty's class that hasn't already been said by her other students. This was my first class on the Friday and was called Mixed media layers. We worked so fast with Misty demonstrating and then we trying it out ourselves. Misty's a fabulous teacher, again sharing so many of her techniques. I learnt so much, I hope I can remember it all.

Paintings have been Delivered



I delivered my paintings to the art show tonight. They are totally different, one's a pastel painting and the other is acrylic, mixed media,collage. I like so many styles of painting, I find it hard to concentrate on just one.
Now I'm back to making jewellery.
I found out today my little four year old grandson is coming to stay with me on Saturday so we're in for a day of art, he loves it.
It's such a special time together.

Illustration Friday - Gravity


This weeks subject for Illustration Friday is gravity. I was still able to use my produce theme. This time I scanned in my decorated paper and my hand drawn and coloured graphic and combined them together in photoshop. The apple and the boys 'falling down socks' represent the gravity theme.

Birthday painting


Just finished an acrylic/collage painting for my daughter's thirtieth birthday today. The photo looks quite dark but the painting actually has a burgundy look. Talk about leaving everything 'til the last minute. I baby sat my eight month old grand daughter last night and she did a terrific colourful work of art with her hands and feet for her Mum. I took a frame over and framed it, wrapped it and left it next to my grand daughter's cot for my daughter to find this morning, she was over the moon, it's hanging up already. I don't have a photo of Sienna's painting as we were so rushed.
