Here’s my desk this week at art class where we started to play with wax resist. Using oil pastels, wax crayons, candles and PVA glue, we lay down layers that will resist a later application of watercolour, to provide pops of colour, patterns, or highlights.
After half-term, we’ll use these on a still life.
The break allows me to catch up with my ink/twig/feather and watercolour hare. I want to do a wet in wet section underneath its back, with stretched clingfilm to suggest grasses, but then it’s finished, I think.
Here are my ATCs from the crop:
Cindy, Annie, my * one from Annie, Jo and Sarah
And a lovely card from Julia thanking us for her gift.

I’m sure one or two have gone astray but I’ll display them again.
This one just arrived from Susan Renshaw.
The boho bag is progressing. I’ll sew it over a plain cotton bag.
And finally…
I always liked Wiley Coyote- I have a theory that if you don’t look down, you don’t fall.
Take care and happy WOYWW

You are definitely learning some interesting techniques at the class, I’m glad you’re enjoying it so much. The hare is lovely, of course! Like your crochet bag too, that’s going to be fab. What a lovely array of ATCs too, I thought your crystal 15th idea was very clever!

Gorgeous ATC. Collection there Lynne Your hare picture is really beautiful - so clever x x Jo
ReplyDeleteI hope I did give you one of my atcs but can't see it there. I forgot to say last week how much I enjoyed A Sense for Silver, I devoured it whilst we were at Stoke (finished it on the train back from London) and now need to know what happens next! hope you work it out yourself :) it made me hungry too! Thanks for your comment. Helen #2
ReplyDeleteMaking quick visits while away as the Wi-Fi is good at the villa. Thanks for joining in and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
ReplyDeleteI used to love using pastels....maybe I should get them back out [if only I had time!!]. The cording kit was off Amazon but beware mine didn't come with instructions.

That hare is fabulous! Well, I tried crocheting on the journey up to the van but did n't get very far. I think I need to watch that set of videos you recommend. You, on the other hand, are a whizz - I cannot believe you have done so much of your bag after what I saw at the Crop. It was lovely to meet you and Brian in person, so glad you came.
ReplyDeleteAt the caravan so internet variable which means I am so late.

Agh! I was here, honest, I said I liked the coyote funny best! Must have been one of the comments that I coudn't type on, knowing me I probably kebt tying and didn't notice nothing was happening! You were in spam again...which is why I popped back. I don't think I mentioned the hare last time, but he is brilliant, so I will this time! Fantastic!! I'm house dog/sitting this week. So can catch up on Visiting! Happy late woyww ((Lyn))#14....I think.... as I started off as 13...getting older by the second!
