trinket boxes...new

Another fun filled week experimenting with new inks and exploring how I can use them.  Here are a few trinket boxes I've just completed.  I love the way the colours react with one another and how bright and crisp they are.  The trinket boxes are glazed porcelain.  I have to wait a further three days before I'm certain that the inks are permanent under the sealant, and won't scratch off...it's an anxious time, so I will get on with more collage work to help keep my mind off it.  All being well, I will post them in the Etsy shop next week and see how they go.

new inks!

I have had the most amazing week...working with my new inks.  I am learning more about them by the minute and have already ordered more.  I'm thrilled with them.
   Here are the first few landscapes I've completed....more to follow.

Birthday wishes and plans

Can't believe another year has gone by...though, I do try to ignore the age number it brings!
I sometimes feel as if I am still searching for a favourite medium.  I love all the art projects I am involved in and experimenting with, but, as soon as I get to  enjoy what I'm doing, I find some other product or technique.  I am loving my collage work, and am spending more time dying silks to include in these works and looking towards other media to use.  I am looking forward to receiving some alcohol inks to experiment with...the intensity of colours are supposed to be amazing and I can't wait to get on with exploring the possibilities.

I realise I do need to concentrate on promoting and selling my existing work...if I want to get on and produce more.. Plan to spend the next week or so, photographing and posting work for sale.  As always, exciting times...........
