Final semester assessment - year one now complete

My final display for my textiles semester. Free form crochet embroidery and screen printing.

MemoryGifts for Graduation students

Someone had a brilliant  idea. All textile students spent time at the screen printing table so why not use the fabric for pencil/makeup bags? They looked great with the contrast retro or 1939's fabric. Forgot to make one for myself!

When books become art. Sure we can't find anything but how beautiful it looks

Drawing for 4 hours and I have a beetle and Alex was his name

One book becomes 6

Free form crochet

Some pattern play and ink drawings

My Mums Work

My mother is just starting art classes and here first efforts are really fantastic . Must be where I get my artistic desire!

WOW what a month I have had!

I did a 3day course with Lucy Irwin a sculptor from Victoria and with cardboard and paper we created individual projects and a group project Fun interesting and well worth doing.

Shadow play

I missed a class so I tried my hand at shadow play using a very well known outline.

Macro Micro

Today's theme in a foundation class was Macro micro. After some drawing time we got to work. I chose cardboard as I had not used it before and was able to build a bug almost to large to fit in the boot. So much fun.

A little painting

I did the background months ago and just could not move forward. Finally I got out the paint and my trusty credit card and do what felt right. Colourful and fun . I love it

My First Art exhibit

I was asked by a local coffee shop to display some of my paintings and sketches as a way to increase traffic and fill the walls. How wonderful and they also bought a painting to put next to the coffee machine. Great experience and certainly got comments while I was hanging the work . The house looks a little bare!

Developing images and repeat pattern for screen printing

Really interesting process to create random looking but actually a repeat pattern

Learning 3D techniques

First exhibited piece

Winter semester break - old into new!

A Day of Total Indulgence- Drawing and a bit of watercolour

3 D final project

Had a wonderful evening learning how to turn a piece of paper into a 3D form. So much fun and I managed to use images from a science journal for kids fro 1964. Great illustrations and thick paper.

Multi Media pages

Trying out ideas in a journal rather than a canvas as it takes less space. Used tissue paper for texture, magazine and postcard cut outs and gesso as an overlay.
