A very quick post today. I have finally finished a little picture I made as part of the exercises in Lynda Monk's latest book.
Sorry, it looks as if it is hanging crookedly, but I was trying to avoid the glare by taking it at an angle.
The box frame was painted with several layers of paint, some wiped immediately, but ending up an interesting colour - which of course is not showing up as a true colour here!
I attached some scrim to a piece of tyvek, then ironed it to make the scrim scrunch up. Next I painted and sprayed the scrim with all sorts of paint and spray, not altogether happy with the result, but I have added so much thread and beads you don't see too much of the scrim anyway.
Hot and sticky weather here today, but I am so glad I am not in the northern hemisphere, I could not cope with all that snow. Hopefully soon we will all have the weather we want.

Beautiful colours and textures, Robin.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour, at least you are getting things made! We are a bit cooler and have had a few mm of rain.Trouble is, we have had wind as well.
ReplyDeleteI like that Robin - I used to do a lot of this kind of thing but have recently given most of my stuff away.There is a lot of satisfaction to be had in the result though, and you should be proud of this.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you have had making this piece - it is so colourful and cheering. Lots of work involved and I love it.
ReplyDeleteWow Robin.....that is truly scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun time! Anything to do with paint, fabric, thread or beads, and I'm hooked.
ReplyDeleteI love this piece. so full of texture and colour. Our weather is really good at present - will be warmer for the next couple of days.
ReplyDeleteA lovely rich textured piece. Are you sure I can't send you some of out snow :)
