Colour change

I didn't like the red on red I showed last week so I painted new canvas and  rewove it. I think I'll put the red through a black canvas.
Here is the new red. I tried taking close ups of some of the little pictures but they are too close up!

I had a light shade marathon this week. Such fun. Sold my first one yesterday morning at a networking breakfast I took four. My photographer friend took this pic. You really can only photograh one at a time to make them look like they look with the light on.


This is what my house looks like now with many made and only one sold!

View from my office nook. (yes, I'm untidy!) The pink lampshade bottom left is one I made before but way way too much time to do and doesn't look that good.

Dining room side. Another of my woven pictures on the wall. Lots not right with it. Happily learning all the time.
And finally - Someone a couple of weeks ago mention Yupo paper, Having never heard of it I researched it and found our local art shop sells big sheets of it. So I bought some and painted on it last night. I LIKE IT, Next step - by next week - cut and weave.






The ones on the left are 'undercoat' then laying the paint then the finished thing. Know what to do next time.!

  7. Oooops my comment just went down the drain. As I was saying, I love those shades. Congrats on the sale and great colors. I may look into that paper. Have a great day.

  8. These are wonderful! If you water down your acrylics and dump them on wet yupo you get some fun color interactions. Your weaves are of interest to me because I have lots of yupo backgrounds awaiting inspiration. Thanks!
