Advanced Surface Decoration HND2

The theme for this project was sea or landscapes. As a class we were taken to Broughty Ferry beach (near Dundee) for a day of painting and sketching. It's a really lovely setting and thankfully it wasn't raining!  Our sketches were supposed to be about mark making rather than representative and I chose to look at verticals and rocks. 

We then used a whole load of different graphite, resists, print, and paint techniques to produce a whole load of paper samples.  I'm not sure that out of the 40 odd I did I've picked the best but here are a few photos:

the paper sample on the right was worked in fabrics and stitch for 'Textile Techniques'

My next blog post will be up soon and I will post a couple of pictures of my beach sketching/painting day. This 'Surface Decoration' project was combined with 'Textile Techniques' and I will show photos of my fabric and stitch interpretations.

I welcome any comments - I'd love to hear from you :)

By far the most popular thing I've ever made is the large wallhanging  'All That Jazz' . I could have sold the original many times over but I'm keeping it here at The Rose Cottage Studio on display and eventually will gift it to one of my family members who have their eye on it .... might have to do a names out of a hat though!

Due to its popularity I had the original professionally photographed by Dave Hunt - http://www.dphotographic.co.uk -  who also produced great quality fine art giclee prints for me. I've sold many prints and postcards and still have some available for sale. Now I'm pleased to reveal the latest addition to the 'All That Jazz' range - printed mugs:

The quality of the printing is excellent and the good news is that the mugs are dishwasher proof. I have a good stock of all designs for sale and am pleased to say I've already had an excellent response and lots of very positive comments. 

Coffee, feet up, and listening to Amy Winehouse?  ....... it'll definitely be a better experience with one of these ATJ mugs!
