Nothing but a House

A bevy of beautiful houses....

Hello, something different to show you today.  I'm covering in my lovely shop Indigo Moon for this week whilst Gav completes his DVD.  There isn't much room to work but i found these pretty papers i've had hanging around and decided to have a play!

 I made over a hundred of these over the last two days whilst sat in the shop (i was supposed to be stock taking!!!  ...this was more fun though), they're all different, different sizes, colours and shapes and as always when i'm creating in the shop people want to buy - I sold eight and quickly replaced them by making another eight.

I'm thinking garlands maybe...

Happy Friday, another post soon

XOXO

Paper and stitch and watercolour and wax

Building Series

These are some of the smaller pieces of work i did for my exhibition in August (cancelled).  Watercolour on old legal mortgage papers, with stitched edging backed onto watercolour paper and vintage fabric and ephemera added.

 I love the subtle matt translucency of the paint onto the old paper, it soaks up the paint changing the colours slighhtly

 These pieces are signed, backed with mount board and wrapped in clear cellophane for protection.  

 Waxing Lyrical

Various beautiful vintage ephemera dipped in wax and stitched, painted and embellished with fabric and gold leaf

These pieces are placed on hand made paper and backed with mountboard and wrapped in clear cellophane for protection.

I'm hoping to update my etsy shop on a more regular basis (as well as my blog) and am hoping to have these in my shop very soon.

Doll House Crazy

I now have three.  This one was given to be by a very kind lady, it's modern but has so much potential.  I recently bought another older one from a flea market and am looking into making all the furniture and fittings for the three of them.

Please check out my Etsy shop in a few days when i hope to have all recent work for sale

XOXO
