In the last post I showed you pictures of the studio after the Autumn clean and tidy.
Here are some of the items on the tables that are just waiting for the right moment....
Top layers are Lutradur, some painted with procions, the top layer stamped with acrylic paint and further embellished with rubbings using markal oil sticks - this is waiting for a layer of ink.
Bottom layers (crinkled) are bondaweb painted with acrylic paint.
DH came back from the USA with these. Can't wait to try them out.
A basket of goodies... some silks, some African fabrics (more on this in the next post).
There are quiet a few oil paintings that need finishing and I must get these done so they are ready for Septembers open studio weekend (third time lucky).
And at this time of year I need my heating on! But now the walls and roof are insulated its snuggly warm even on the coldest day.
Time ticks away - must get on.... and who doesn't have those postcards from IKEA?
well done helen a tidy studio plus new projects - you must be feeling beeter - I'm glad
ReplyDeleteLove your basket of goodies :P
ReplyDeletethose African fabrics look remarkably similar to the ones which tempted me at Ally Pally - I expect we will approach them differently though - Dale
ReplyDeleteCan I just ask, do you heat your studio when you are not working in it? Like overnight and such? I use an oilfilled radiator in my much smaller (12'x9') summerhouse/studio but find it so expensive to run and have a constant battle with myself trying to decide whether it's worth it but I have had canvases spoilt with damp marks probably due to condensation.
ReplyDeleteI don't have those postcards from IKEA and this is the closest we have ever lived to one (about 10 mins, 15 with traffic) and i've only been 3 times!!
ReplyDeleteThe studio looks wonderful and cosy, and i LOVE the pink/purple paintings.
Fantastic tidy up - now can you find everything?
