Welded Sculptures Made from Found Objects and Recycled Materials by Brian Mock
Today I just had to reblog this, great way of recycling.
My latest creations
This week I’ve painted a couple of new candle holders. The first one was inspired by a glass I painted that has had quite a few favourites in my Etsy shop and been featured in a treasury (Treasury). It is of black cats and what I hadn’t anticipated is of course it fits the halloween …
Sunflower update
With the strange weather we’ve had I’m only now able to tell if my sunflowers will be monster ones again. I can report that 2 of the surviving ones will definitely have multiple flowers but the plants are no way near as big as last years at the moment. The flowers are not even out …
Twitterings
It is blissfully quiet at my house today and I just realised why. The baby seagull has stopped squawking and is learning to fly – yipee! It is obviously so pleased with itself that it no longer needs to be twittering for it’s mum. I managed to get a photograph of one of its mini …
Unnatural Nature
First an update on the baby seagull. Still squawking and falling over and making mess! It’s not just humans he/shes disturbing either but my poor 16yr old cat, who normally likes to sit in the conservatory but is being unsettled by the seagull plodding along the roof. Anyway this got me thinking about nature in …
Folksy Friday
My blog today includes some of my favourite things I’ve found on Folksy. There are too many to list, so this is a very small selection! Brooch from Ellie’s Treasures Little Dotty Jewellery Acrylic painting on canvas by GweddusArt Isle of Wight Clock by Dew Drop Crafts
Work Room View
Today I thought I’d share the view from my art room. My desk, where I paint from, is facing the window and although it’s not the most wonderful view I love my little garden and seeing the sky. The last 2 jobs I had as an employee were both based in rooms with very little …
Silly Season
I’ve had a few days away, hence not writing a blog earlier this week. The break was good, I didn’t touch a computer for 3 days! Sadly this very hot weather doesn’t suit me though, so for 2 days of the week I’ve done nothing having zero energy. I had hoped to do an open …
Exhibition
I’ve not exhibited in a gallery exhibition yet, so can’t really tell you the pros and cons. However I do enjoy looking round them. Gloss art in Exeter have just opened a new one displaying work from Devon based artists. I went to their open evening last night and it is definitely worth a visit, …
Card Making
For the first time I failed to do 2 blogs in a week last week, unless you count reblogging! I do have a good excuse, a customer wanted a pet portrait but she needed it by the end of the week, which gave me 3 days. This was achieved just, I was baking the glass …
