Figurative
Having made a few batches of previous bonnie birds and developed a decorative pattern that I think works for them – see previous posts here – I’ve been keen to develop alternative patterns, something as it turns out is easier said than done. Here are a few examples of what I’ve come up with thus [...]
Skot is another artist found through DeviantArt where he goes by the name Lord Hoki, living on Austrailia’s East Coast Skot works in a variety of media creating a range of drawn, painted and sculpted objects. Much of his DeviantArt account is taken up with his Hoki range of work such as those pictured below: [...]
Painting, or more specifically, what constitutes a ‘good painting’ is something that has no doubt been contested since the dawn of time when man first began daubing paint on cave walls. You can almost discern, through the mists of time, the first critic carefully contemplating some abstract image of a hunting party bringing down a [...]
I had promised to have this finished by April 2009, so obviously I’m delighted to have finished it before it goes a full year past my own self-imposed ‘due date’! Like most of his erstwhile and largely forgotten friends Gruber is keen on world domination, although it’s perhaps telling that he and his cohorts are [...]
I’ve really been taken by the work of Kezeff, another artist I found on DeviantArt. I’ve only been following them for a short period, but even in that time I have been fairly impressed not only by the quality of their work but by the creativity behind it and the seemingly highly effective execution of [...]
It’s been commented on in the past that there are strange things going on in the dark recesses of my mind, that they seem to bleed out into the light through what I create … I think ‘they’ may have a point. I seem to have a raft of canvasses lying around and despite repeated [...]
It’s always a bit of struggle for me to get back into the swing of the craft thing following the festive frivolities, of course it hasn’t helped that we were on emergency fuel rations until our delivery arrived Wednesday and I had to spend the next three days shifting it up the hill to the house [...]
This will probably be the final batch of plant pokes until after Christmas as ‘other priorities’ take over … also, the workshop gets hellish cold at this time of year due to gaping gaps under the doors and roof which may as well not be there when the cold winter gales get going! Click image [...]
Jolene’s been busy with her needle and thread, pulling up her socks, and putting together some more of her cute and cuddly creatures. Stripes seem to be a recurring theme, but the first cuddly creature featured here is a luxurious little soul made out of angora … As much as I love the soft autumnal colours in the angora [...]
Sewing is really Jolene’s thing, obviously I’m far more interested in manly arts and crafts rather than these silly women’s past-times! Obviously I jest, but sewing isn’t really what I do … other than from a utilitarian stand-point it’s not a craft I’ve ever felt the need to refine, alas, with time to kill and [...]
