Close up of 2 of the pendants.
Archive for April, 2006
This photo represents a new venture for me. While I have made jewelry before using beads, PMC and my own ceramic pendants, these are made from chip board! Each of these will be mini-abstract wearable paintings. I’ve prepared 10 1″ square canvases, drilled holes and gessoed them in preparation of painting them using acrylics. I’ve started 5 so far and hope to have one finished by this evening. I’m really excited about these and feel like I have an infinite number of design ideas. At midnight last night, I finally had to stop because I was so tired. I like that these are affordable, funky and unique. I will be offering these for sale on Etsy by the end of the week.
I have 2 paintings that I started approximately 2 weeks ago that are still sitting on my easel. Both are abstracted landscapes from a study that I have used before. In the first one, I have tried to maintain the negative shape of a tree, horizon line and moon (or sun don’t know which yet). For the second one I have laid a textured ground from which I am going to compose my painting. I have “drawn” into modeling medium on the canvas and will add paint color later. I was waiting for it to cure, but after 2 weeks time, I would imagine that it has “cured” long enough, don’t you think?
Over at MSN spaces, I enjoyed sharing a work in progress that was different from the way that I normally work. I painted a rose by reducing a photograph that I had taken last summer into simple shapes by using Photoshop. I’m going to do another one, this time painting an orange sunflower.
