Hi Everyone
This week my fellow artist
from Fuzzy Designs has been working and I hope you like what he has done, I do.
Well, one piece at least, and some pinstriping creations to accompany it.
If you’ve looked through the Spanner Art back catalogue you will probably have noticed that “S” spanners have been a constant source of ideas from the very beginning. They just have a fluidity about them which, to me, suggests a sort of fish-like movement. However, this piece takes a different approach because, rather than being engraved and then painted with transparent colours, I opted to go down the skeleton route instead. I added a mist effect around the spanner in luminous paint so you can decide for yourself if it is a ghost fish or some strange denizen of the deepest oceans.
Both the pinstriping pieces have a Christmas feel to them but I would have to admit that was completely accidental. The final choice of shapes and colours didn’t really come together until a long way through the creative process. I was very unsure about the asymmetric piece as it was an experiment and I had no idea if people would like it. It sold within a few minutes of the first fair I took it to so it can’t have been too bad!
