Studio Day

This week I went to Littleheath Barn Studio for a Studio Day.  This is where you take your own work to do and get the benefit of Liske's advice when you're stuck.

I started work on this new piece by 'painting' the fabric with thickened procion dye.

 

 

This piece is based on verses from Ezekiel 47:1-12 about the river flowing out.

 

I left it rolled up in plastic for longer than I usually do but still lost quite a bit of the green at the bottom and the rust at the top.

 

In the afternoon I made this grid based on the Australian Connections research I've been doing.

And later this week I worked on this sample from the Maps & More workshop the previous week. It's not particularly satisfactory so it will no doubt be put into my sketchbook.

Australian Connections Update

I have continued to work on my Australian Connections workbook that I showed you last month.

Sorry this is a bit blurry.  I've tried several times to photograph the pages and this is the best version.   The left hand page is about my dad from birth to the age of 6.

The right hand page is about the family coming back to England.

This is the start of a page on our visit to Stuart Street in Bulimba in 2008.  This is the house that was built in 1940 on the site of the house my dad lived in at some point in the late 1920s.

I started trying out some collage and stencilling.

I printed out the 4 songs I mentioned in my last post and stuck them into the book.

I have no idea where this is going.  But onward and upward!
