Book Making Workshop

I am at present doing a book making course with Gail Stiffe. Gail is the Editor for IAPMA (International Papermakers Association), and she also runs the Women's Art Register.

The venue for the 'book making' is at St. Stephen's Community House, Ringwood, and at present it stretches over 4 Saturdays. Hopefully, if there is enough interest, then she will consider expanding the course.

I am absolutely loving it. Check out her site.

Imagination

Imagination is the active ingredient of thinking
"what
Imagination jumps from present facts to future possibilities
is now proved
Imagination forms mental pictures of things not present
was once
Imagination conceives of situations not yet in existence
only imagined"
Imagination conjures up correspondences and analogies

Writing About Art

A fantastic 'how-to' book on how to think and write about art is 'A Short Guide To Writing About Art'.

So far, the little I have managed to read, I found extremely informative. However, trying to find another spare five minutes to read some more is another story in itself!

Anyway, gotta go now, the family is hungry and starting to lose too much weight!

In A Spin

Wheee...... round and round I go!

Cornucopia for St Georges Restaurant

This is my drawing for the St Georges Restaurant. The 'Cornucopia' also known as the 'Horn of Plenty' dates back to the 5th Century. It stands for abundance and fertility. I have always loved the symbolism. In my version the horn is an organic matter and it is morphing into orchids.

Playing around with Photoshop.
Here I have overlaid two of my paintings; a portrait painting and a crystal painting, and then on top of that I overlaid a photo of a forest.
