Working Big!

This week at Wanderlust, Kasia encouraged us to work big. I hadn't done anything in my A3 journal for ages, so now was the time. Lots of layers of acrylic paint. I have a feeling it isn't finished, but this the page at the moment.

Patchwork Effect

Kate Crane was the guest artist at Wanderlust last week. She demonstrated how she painted a patchwork effect. This is my finished page.

The guest artist at Wanderlust for week 18 was Dyan Reaveley. Inspired by her techniques I created two journal pages.

Working Small

Week 17 (I'm a bit behind!) at Wanderlust, was about working on a small substrate. I made a concertina journal, about A6 size, so not that small, but smaller than my usual art journals. Click on the pictures if you would like to see them in greater detail. Thanks for looking!

Canvas 2

This canvas was painted for the second exhibition, which focused on the theme of baptism.

Canvas 1

Over the last 18 months my church has held two art exhibitions. The first was centred around pieces of art related to Easter, and this was the canvas I displayed. It is 20 x 16 inches. Click on the picture if you wish to see the details.

Exhausted

I'm not really, but I am glad that I have a holiday coming up!

Whimsy

Mndy Lacefield provided the inspiration for week 15 at Wanderlust. Here is my whimsical girl.

Journeys

I am somewhat behind with Wanderlust at the moment!

The guest artist for week 14 was Jessica Sporn whose canvas depicts the terrible journeys many refugees have to make to reach safety. Here is my own version:  the lines of washi tape depicting the borders refugees have to cross; the red stencil patterns highlighting the circuitous routes refugees have to travel; and the crosses recognising that many die along the way before reaching safety. The angel is a prayer that might be protected whilst travelling.

Infusions

Recently, I went to the Crafty at Ally Pally show and did a 'make and take' with PaperArtsy. We stamped all the leaves with infusions, and the words were stamped with Distress Oxide ink (pity I can't stamp straight!).

Be Creative!
