Ok finally getting some work done, I have been doing samples and things like that but I now have just over a week before I have my exhibition at work to show some of my work and thought hmm better get cracking.
I really am a procrastinator by nature so doing things ahead is just out of my character. I did find that I have been getting a bit better at starting things lately.... well at least starting them.
This piece is chiffon and painted bondaweb as well as some stewart gill byzantine paints and embossing powder. Whew that was a mouthful. I have now put it onto some felt and did some stitching to attach it to the felt. Now the question do I want to burn some of it away? maybe not this time but I will add beads tonight to finish the piece up. I will post the final piece then to decide how will I mount the piece to display it. Decisions, Decisions .. you can jump in anytime with some suggestions!!
Ok so I have always loved the kokopellis and lizards and thought I would try the technique out with transfer paints from the workshop with Margaret Talbot. I have cut these out now ready for the next step, not as stunning as her pieces but I just wanted to try it out. kinda kewl kokopellis.
Just thought I would post some pictures of the flowers around the house outside to show my sister how the flowers are all blooming over here. Look at my crown imperial (orange one), I bought it a few weeks ago and had it in a carrier bag left it there for two days when I went back to it the stem had curved looking for some sunlight so now I have a deformed crown imperial and Liz you are right about the odour whew... brought it home in the car and it smelt up the whole car for a day.
