100 year Anniversary of War of Independence 2020

Before Lockdown I was in the middle of planning an event for Heritage Week in August.  The brief was to depict buildings in Templemore that were burned during the time.  An exhibition was planned for August so we will have what see what happens. I have been working from photos of the time.

2020 Projects

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.

April the month of Fairies

This month is the start of an exhibition of the world of fairies as seen by our world. Here are a few of the completed projects I have been making. The book is an old ledger from 1930. I drilled pilot holes and then cut out the pages with an exacto opposite knife. I stuck the pages together. Then added the embellishments to complete.
