This is a tiny part of a giant collage currently on display at The Senedd in Cardiff (until February 13th 2025). The individual pieces are greatly enlarged fragments that are in reality about the size of a finger nail. They started out as gel-plate prints that were ripped up and restructured into collages on A3Continue reading “#HomeKeyToHome : Going Large 2”

#HomeKeyToHome : Going Large 1.
I’m an educator as well as an artist and I work a couple of days a week for a national homelessness charity as an arts tutor. Over the past few months I’ve been working with a group of other staff and our members (service users) to develop an exhibition for The Senedd, the Welsh GovernmentContinue reading “#HomeKeyToHome : Going Large 1.”
#Caturday Archives
Back in 2008, I was working with a professional life model, creating a mixed media piece and a very young Sparta Puss walked in the room and hung around, so I drew her too.
#Caturday: Sketchbook Kitties.
It’s #Caturday Saturday again and here’s a couple of pages from my sketchbook in 2012. Husb and I had four cats then, so it was easy to find a constant supply of feline models.
#Caturday Nadolig Llawen
It’s that time of year again, when I dig out Husb’s digital drawing of Snowflake Sparta Puss to wish everyone Nadolig Llawen, Merry Christmas, Cool Yule. Have a good one xxx
Getting Sticky…
I’ve been making some collages from recent botanical Gelli Plate prints. Here is a detail of one of them, showing the overlay of the ripped pieces of prints and the outline of some of the botanical subjects. They’re going to be scanned professionally and massively enlarged for an exhibition in January.
#Caturday Silhouette 8.
This #Caturday Saturday, my negative silhouette of little rescue cat Bill shows a cyanotype print of an ostrich feather. I cut the image of Bill from some very heavy textured paper that I recycled, I painted it black and started to experiment with it.
#Caturday Silhouette 7.
This #Caturday Saturday, my silhouette of our little Bill is on top of a cyanotype print that someone threw away, I fished it out of the paper bin! I think she looks lovely silhouetted against the ostrich feather. The image of Bill is cut out of some discarded paper too. I painted it black.
Tiny Scraps…
I’ve been doing a lot of Gelli Plate printing lately and I’ve ended up with lots of prints, mainly from botanicals – leaves, grasses, flowers etc… They’re nice to look at but don’t really stand up as artworks in their own right. So I’ve been reusing them. Yesterday I posted badges I’ve made with some.Continue reading “Tiny Scraps…”
Shiny Botanical Badgery.
I’ve been doing a lot of teaching and demonstrations recently and I’ve collected lots of Gelli Plate prints using leaves, and some graphite rubbings as well. I’ve an art and craft fair coming up on December 7th and I thought I’d use the gel prints to make unique and original badges They’re very shiny andContinue reading “Shiny Botanical Badgery.”
