Some of my work from 2017. This piece was chosen for publication in Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine USA this year. It was a weaving challenge and they chose 10 submissions to publish. This is a worldwide magazine for mixed media artists to showcase their work. This is the second time I have made the top with them. Air drying clay and weaving was used in this piece.

This Fairy house was created using wire mesh and plaster of Paris bandage. Annie Sloan Chalk paints on walls. Curtains made from dyed muslin.

This find was brought back to life painted with Annie Sloan chalk paints and beautiful upholstery fabrics

 The completed Fairy house that was upcycled January 2017 and was in an exhibition in March 2017. See previous post for progress reports.

Book Folding Fairy House

Fold book in shape of house and decorate with bits and bobs!  Wool used for grass. Sea shells for garden ornaments.

The last few months have been taken up with study and model making.  I have loved coming up with an idea for a flower shop for a shopping centre.  I have used a lot of quilling flowers I made a number of years ago waiting for the right moment to use them.  There is decoupage on the little wooden chair.
The flower pots are beads and small flowers used for dolls house miniatures 1:12 scale.  The outside is polypropelene so that you can see into the inside all around.  The green is made from pan scourers.
