I made this little painting using gelato's on watercolor paper. Water was added to bring out the color. I used charcoal for outlining.
Next I made this 6 bracelets. They are done on stretchy cord and were easy to make.
Then these 4 pairs od simple earrings came about.
I think the hummingbirds are so sweet.
This was a bracelet I ought in Paris and it had fallem apart so I worked at re-making it.
The following two piece were dyed using old rusty pieces I found in my barn. This fabric was offwhite muslin when I started.
This one was white cotton fabric. The rusty item was wrapped in the fabric and then sprayed with vinegar and water and left to set overnight. I plan to use them as backgrounds for encaustic wax paintings.
What have you been doing in your spare time?
Maybe no writing but at least you've been busy creating. I like the jewelry. I've never tried making any myself but maybe after I finish the studio I'll give it a whirl.
ReplyDeleteAs for spare time...ha! Mostly I'm resting up for the next day's project. I think we're nearing the end of the re-do.
No writing, plenty of "arting!"... sometimes being creative is all you need to get going in either direction. :]
ReplyDeleteI really like your gelato painting, so sweet!
The jewelry Kate, looks beautiful.
You have a real talent for creating these. ~xx
I have made a few beaded & charm bracelets in my past, and have found it few relaxing to create.
In my spare time... trying to bet the heat!! ((super hot))
This has become a job about our home! ((LOL))
Here in California, we have had a very long heatwave.
Temperatures well over 100° and at nightfall still in the 80's...
not much painting for me. :[
You've sparked my creative urges. I get a lot of writing done, but have several art projects still waiting for me to finish. Love your bracelets!
