First things first, here's my entry for this week's Illustration Friday topic, 'Adrift':

It's a sketch for a piece I'm working on for a small exhibition of works that will be up in Swansea Metropolitan in March. :)
Talking of exhibitions, I was lucky enough to be involved in the awesome 'Advent' show in Bristol just before Christmas!
Advent Art Show - Bristol, England - Funny blooper videos are here
Here are the Artworks I exhibited! It doesn't show up on the scans but all the rusty coloured parts are actually a rich shiny gold! Excuse my fuzzy photo's at the bottom! :P
'Finish What We Started'

'Finish What We Started' will be for sale in the Dreaweatts Urban Contemporary Art auction in London in April. :)
Ok, two more things then I'm done! First of all, I was soooooooo excited this month to join the AMAZING PFATT Marketplace!!

I have always loved the creations on there! Here was my first listing:
'Lost and Found'

It has sold now, but I'm in the process of conjuring up my March offering!! :)
And finally, I have been making lots and lots of new jewellery to add to my Etsy shop, which has been closed for a while. I'll be uploading it all on Friday and Saturday - there's almost 30 pieces so it will take a good while to get them all listed! I have fallen in love with my soldering iron lately, so there are lots of lovely shiny silver soldered pendants! I also have an ever growing stash of vintage buttons, so I thought as a nice change from just the artwork jewellery, I'd make some ornate brass and button pieces too! Here's a sneaky peek!:

Sooo, umm, I think that's everything!! Thanks for taking the time to look through another one of my extra long posts! Have a lovely day! xx
Thanks for the long update and congratulations on the exhibitions. Your art is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me to which art gallery in Poland 'While We're Here' is going? Maybe I would be able to finally see your art "live".
