More Birds

I keep doing these cos i just like them, and so do other people ( always handy when you run a gallery) so here are a few more

VWs

well here they are, these were created the same way as the fish from oil based clay first then a latex mould taken so they can be reproduced at will. They can be painted to match your own van, either real or of your dreams also i'm working on poping a clock in them too and maybe a picture frame version, the world is my lobster as they say. Your only limit is your imagination, i lke the thought of that , although all my imagination is being used up on beliving that this IS SUMMER . Anyway, hope you like them and its sunny where you are ( a friend in Whitstable assures me it 35 degrees and TOO HOT there ) See you again soon x

Damp weather not helping

Well as the title sudgests the damp weather is playing havoc with the drying times of my papier mache, regardless of the hours spent in the cooker it just isn't drying, so the lovelly VW camper clocks and wall plaques are still not ready . hopefully they will be dry enough in the next few days so that i can do the fun bit of painting them and watching them come to life, seeing if all the work, works . Untill then i have had to be happy with Driftwood, a few new cabinets have arrived in the gallery now and its always nice to work with a different medium, It reminds you how good it is when you base your art around the ethos of REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. you always have something else you can go and play with when one thing just isn't working . Keep em peeled in the next couple of days when hopefully some pics of the finished VW's will appear, untill then, hope its brighter where you are .
