Wall-hanging art

I knitted a large piece of fabric from Jute, attached it to a branch and then poked feathers according to size and colour into the weave. I'm surprised... it came out better then expected and I am also able to keep adding feathers as I find them on my daily walks.

Trash art

An up-cycled creative piece made from rubbish collected from the streets and the beach. It was assembled at the sculpture class mentioned in an earlier post. I hot glued each piece on a painted base and arranged them according to colour. The face in the middle is one of many I plaster cast and used for an art group activity. Thank you to my photographer friendwww.brigittemarlot.com for the inspiration.

The Wave

This was my first attempt at carving a hebel sculpture. After a friend had seen them at the markets I decided to give it a go and see how hard it was. It turns out it's quite easy to carve with a saw and a rasp file but it makes a hell of a mess.

Small canvas art project

I've started a small art project collaging images into silhouettes of figures in interesting positions onto small art canvases. This is the first one in a series.
