Hi Every one
Can less really be more?
This week the blog has been taken over once
more by my partner in craft, Fuzzy Designs, who has been busy with these
creations. I’ll let him explain.
I’m sure most people reading this will have
been given something which made you think: I’m not quite sure what to do with
that but it’s definitely worth hanging onto.
For me, it was these frames which each came
with two panes of glass, and that got me thinking about some artwork with a
possible 3D effect.
The horse came first and I obtained a 3D
effect by layering pearl glass paint with different colours on the front and
back of both panes. I liked the end result but wondered if I could strip things
back even further and still keep some depth to the finished piece.
The goat came next and I got the depth I was
looking for by simply painting grass on all four sides of the glass so the goat
looks like it’s standing in the grass. Happy with the grass effect, I finally
decided to see how much I could strip back the animal and decided to go for a
rabbit. A few strokes of the brush was all it took and I had a rabbit sitting
in a field! So, yes, less really can be more!
My next Christmas Fairs will be at The Laxey
Working Men’s Institute on Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st
December 2019 & than at Douglas Christmas, Chester Street on Saturday 14th
and Sunday 15th December.. I hope
to see you there.

ReplyDeleteThanks Guzzi Girl, sometimes the simple is just right even if it does take longer to do.
