"thinking of you" ...new series of dolls....First one!





This is the first doll of a new pattern I am working on. She is pretty small (for me!) standing  17cm or           6 1/2 inches roughly. She has a paperclay sculpted head and lower arms. The body fabric was printed using a de-constructed screen printing method I learnt in a workshop with Kerr Grabowski. Copper wire was used for her upper arms and her crown was cut up out of an old plastic yarn cone and painted.

ASPIRE

 this is a work to personify the woman I have used as my muse for my last series of paintings. She was in an early black and white photo with that classic non smiling portrait and I just fell in love with her eyes. Not a classic beauty but I love her demeanour.

Still some spaces left in New York classes if you hurry...

Painted Portrait and Collage on Canvas
One day Workshop;  
September 18, 2013      9AM- 4PM
This is a fun 1 day workshop that will give students some skills and confidence to take some of their creative passion out on a canvas!
I work with both paper and material as well as stamps, stencils, buttons, threads, paints and whatever embellishments that can be either glued or stitched in place! and we apply all this to the canvas. This is why it is such a good crossover class to do...all you will probably need to buy is the canvas!

Size of works are based on a very portable 10"x12" framed canvas.
