Open Studio


This is the cover of the sample book
I have been working on

It is composed prinicaply of teabags
and a semi transparent paper I have
Fully transparent when covered in wax

I am exploring different ways of working with them

Some are fully covered with the teabag and some only partially

Some feature Xanthorrhoea Resn

each has the page cut out behind them
so I can see the light coming through

Stitch

As I am working on a series
that will be framed in old bee frames

I love the detail

when I view them
placed in front of a window

But the detail changes
when the light is removed

Giving a whole different look at night

The reason for all this activity
is the upcoming
Great Southern Art Trail
for which I will be opening my
studio to the public
More details shortly

Above pigments and resin
ready for sale

Experimenting

A couple of weeks ago
the lovely Patricia
sent me a link

that sent me looking for information
about an ancient but natural
painting process
called

and since then I have been busy
experimenting
and it occurred to me that
others might be interested in
what I do

Singing Spring Into Being 70 x 50cm
Sumi-e ink, graphite, titanium dioxide, milk,
rabbit skin glue, yellow ochre, burnt sienna
on watercolour paper


I was thinking I might put together
some limited edition
sample books
which will contain
well samples
and what I did
to get that sample

Such fun
