Asian style plate basket

Hallo,

   Baskets, baskets and more baskets - I haven't had much time to paint in the studio lately, but I will be back at it soon!!!

   The base for this basket is a vintage plate with an asian/oriental design .

  The basket is 10 inches round and about 3 inches tall. It took me about 15 or 16 hours ish to make.

   It may not show that well in the photos but the orange/red of the main color in the basket is just a few shades darker than the orange/red in the plate - it tends to show more reddish in the pictures for some reason.

    All for today - take care

Seashell basket

Hallo,

   Finished off another basket this week. I will eventually have paintings to show off again soon - I have several in the works just not much time to paint.

  For this basket I used a handmade pottery plate that a friend of mine made for me. She made it with the holes already there and I love the seashells!!! The plate is about 1/4 inch thick which is perfect for the core I use also - the core doesn't slide up and down like it can with some of the old plates I have been using.

All for today - Take Care!!!

Cyanotype on silk scarf

Hallo,

  We had friends in town last weekend and while the boys were out and about us gals went over to the studio and tried printing cyanotype onto a couple silk scarves. I hadn't tried cyanotype on the silk yet. They turned out pretty nice!!!

   I will probably incorporate a silk scarf into my next cyanotype class.

   Have a great day!!

Cyanotype prints

Hallo,

   I taught a cyanotype class the end of January and these are some of the prints I did in class along with my students. I was using some recent photos of mine to print from and we also printed some small canvas bags.

  It was a cold and windy day - not the greatest for making prints - the photo prints weren't working very well but they all got lots of regular prints to take home along with the canvas bag.

   I plan for another cyanotype class in april or may....

   Have a great day!!

Piper

Hallo,

  I did this painting for friends of mine who lost their sweet pup to a dog attack just before Christmas. The background is encaustic and then I used a photo printed onto tissue paper and added encaustic over the top to define and add texture to the pup. I also printed out copies of the paw prints that the vet gave them and incorporated them into the painting on the blanket and in the background.
