We're on the road again

I'm currently still skipping from one medium to another and we're now back on the road again so inevitably I'll be wanting to pursue something I don't have the equipment for. I seem to have packed a small print studio so really that genre should be my focus - I don't appear to have quite got there yet 😃 I'm still tatting, as I call it.

The art above, as yet untitled, belongs to the tatting category. The original resides in one of my new handmade books. Like the book, it's not perfect but I am rather pleased with it.

I also finally decided upon a use for the smaller of the two books I made in my workshop. I'm using it as a little glimmers or gratitude book and will intersperse the writing with tidbits of art like the one below.

In other news, a recent printmaking course will hopefully be inspiring me on the intaglio and relief printing fronts - hence the packing choices.

One of the techniques explored did result in this lovely new range of cards which can be found for sale in The Flower Box, Knighton.

That's all from me for now, I hope tohave more art from on the road to post again soon. Take care out there lovelies.

Hello and welcome

A glimpse into my studio - Hello there! It's taken me a while but I've finally started work on my online presence to accompany my creative journey. To be honest this post is pretty much a place holder whilst I work on constructing the galleries and links to my online shop. For a while it will remain the top blog post and I'll update it as I go along. Hopefully when all the construction work is completed the blog posts will be used to reflect where I'm at creatively and share some of my experiences. I have started work on my online shop (hosted by Sum-Up) Eventually you'll find pages for cards, limited editions, originals and a full gallery listed at the top of my Home page. These will detail the art work that is available and will provide a link to that item in the shop. If you'd like to just go straight to the shop then please follow this link here . I've no idea how many folk I'm likely to reach but hopefully it will be fun finding out, and please...

Our House

I had a little session in the studio a couple of days ago with the main aim of producing a birthday card for one of our grand daughters'. That session proved to be successful and the outcome was both the required card and a new one for my 5 x 7 range (which I have already printed out and used for an 18th birthday card too) As a result of this session I do also have a small series of acrylic paintings that I've played around with in a digital mock up in order to test how best to frame them. I'm really liking how they might look. Not sure whether to stick with black frames or try white and oak - we shall see. Firstly though, I need to cut the mounts accurately which is always a challenge. I'm intending to make these two originals available from Walkmill @no 7 over the next week or so, always presuming I can cut the mounts correctly of course. Thanks for reading Wendy xx

Snaps

I'm working away slowly in the background on a few bits and pieces so I thought I'd just share some photos. In no particular order. Drop me a line if you're interested in anything
