Hello, Thank you for popping in*
FACELIFT~Ah, not me, my kitchen has had a face lift!
From this-
To this-
And this-
To this-
Roy from Superior Kitchens did a fantastic job and I'd highly recommend him for any Kitchen or Bathroom renovation! Roy doesn't have an website, however I'd be happy to pass on his information if you'd like to email me.
Yesterday I attended a workshop at the Society of Folk & Decorative Artists. The workshop was conducted by Robyn Sherer~A fabulous teacher, very creative and giving.
The background and base coating was painted using Jo Sonja acrylics. We then had fun mixing Papier Mache for the body of the Echidna. Placed that on the canvas and start molding and Painted over the papier mache. We were lucky, most of the spikes were already painted.{Thanks for Robyn's parents} These were pushed into the papier mache body. We then glazed over the background, face, feet and foliage using Archival Oils and pencils.I've taken this photo on an angle so you can see the height and depth of the "Echidna".
If you are free on 17th October and live in or around Melbourne/Geelong you may want to attend the "Portarlington Art & Garden Trail"
This will be 19 Studio's, Gallery's and Gardens open to the public from 11 am to 4pm
There isn't a website however I do have a phone number if anyone is interested, I'd be happy to email it to you!
Live Joyfully,
Hugs,
Anna
