Wall Hanging

This was part of Kaz's birthday pressie. I found the wooden 'shrine' at an art festival I went to with Carrie in Belfast a while back, and really enjoyed developing the 3D collage. I love wood, its so natural that it had to be a natural piece.

I'm really drawn to these soft natural colours, so this piece came together really easily for me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAZ!!!!!!!!!!

A massive happy birthday to my dear friend Kaz - have a great day honey ;-)

Fabric Hanging

I got a fabulous gift from Kaz to take part in the KC Willis Collage Camp recently. As I've been wanting to experiment more with fabric this was perfect. I decided to make a fabric hanging before I started the class as a control piece of sorts.

This is the piece I made. It was great to actually get the sewing machine out and start playing finally, and I was happy with my finished piece, which is going to a special friend of mine as a gift later in the summer.





Since this I've been working on a larger piece as a result of the KC Willis Collage Camp, and I'm amazed at the difference and excited by what I've learned in such little time. I'm loving my creative journey at the moment.

Thanks to Joanne for the heads-up I'm entering this for the Saturday's Workout "Fabric Art" theme this week ;-)

PWL - Reflections

This weeks assignment was Reflections - having taken some lovely shots at our local canal last year, it immediately came to mind for this assignment. Thankfully the weather was on my side tonight and I got some lovely summer sun reflections ;-)

PWL2 - Light & Dark

This weeks assignment was to play with shadows. It was a tough challenge for me, and I spent the week desparetly looking for shadows and finding none! I had an idea that I wanted to try some in a graveyard, and finally got a willing victim to come with me and be my shadow.

Jills Make Up Trial - Photoshoot

This weekend I was in Cork for a make-up trial for Jills wedding. I suggested that I do a mini-shoot for the girls. It was so much fun getting all the girls posing for me. They are such beautiful girls, it made the job a rather easy one!
