The Sentinel Gallery..

I have been busy...

 Here is some of my papier mache work

that has headed off to the 

wonderful Sentinel Gallery in Wivenhoe.

The work is going to be part of their 'Annual Christmas Kaleidoscope'.

I wish I lived nearer so that I could see all of the treasures that will be in the gallery this Christmas...

China teacups, Stormy sea's and the wind blows..

The pieces are coming together.. The china teacups have been decorated.

The stormy sea's have been painted..

The frame... Before crackle...

After crackle..

Paper cups, stormy weather... Diorama

 Not a lot to write about at the moment, just playing with ideas..

 Not sure where this is going.

 but have a lot of ideas swirling around in my head..

'Iconic women'.. 'Female icons'...

A few weeks ago a young lady brought two of my brooches. 

She has some dexterity problems and is not able to attach them herself and she asked me if I ever made necklaces as they would be easier for her to wear.. 

So I gave it a try.. And here are the first results.. 

On Saturday I was wearing one and a young guy came up to me and said... 

'' I love that icon necklace your wearing lady''.. 

So the design name was found just that I'm not sure whether to call them 

'Iconic women' or 'Female icons'.. Decisions decisions...

Business card box...

 This week to distract me from the UK 'Brexit' vote.

I played with the idea of making a business card box

 for our lovely Fannie & Fox gallery.. 

This is the finished box..

And here are a couple of photo's of the work in progress.

Just a little sad that I didn't take any earlier in the  process for you to see..

Papier mache

Recycled card, telephone directories and a lick of acrylic paint.

.. And a little gold leaf of course..

'The knitted cat'. 

'Frida in reflective mood'.

'A little bit like Frida'... 

Is off on her travels to Scotland and beyond...

'Sailing' is off on his journey to Ireland.. 

Just a thought... Please remember that if you buy one of my brooches, they are made of 

papier mache and DO NOT like being put in the washing machine..
