FAIRY GLADE

Created in a whimsical style,this piece is entitled 'Fairy Glade' and was created using acrylic paints,inks, one of my own handmade clay face cabs and fibers.. Sides are fully painted a soft charcoal/black as a part of the work so there is no need for a frame-hang it as soon as it arrives! The work is glazed with a soft matt varnish to enhance,seal and protect. A gorgeously quirky and unusual ,this would make such an interesting gift and a wonderful addition to any art collection!

more messiness.....

There was a point (honestly) to my messiness with all that paint.....I have a plan for a future series of projects which I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about starting-hence all the busy fabric painting and dyeing in preparation, as I don't want to use fabrics that are commercially purchased as they are, I like every piece to be TOTALLY unique! Oh...one other thing...there is a reason why artists shouldn't waste time creating beautifully painted nails, as paint seems to somehow chemically bond with polish and will NOT come off. I do try to plan it, but this messy look will have to stay for a few days, I'm far too busy making amazing painterly creations :) More updates soon on new stuff upcoming!

flower order complete.....

Finished a large flower order for one of my gallery customers this week.....phew! After all that intense neatness and beautiful stitching....things got kinda messy :)
