My first artwork for the Stay Human exhibition, is called 'The cool of my Heart' and tells the story of a far off romance in Egypt, an archeological artist longing to see his love again. I've been a little adventurous with the piece and added some intriguing objects including a locket, diary entry and beautiful green feather. I just love the idea of telling a tale through my work..
'The cool of my Heart'
Close up of locket and diary entry..The other little piece I created last night has been a long time in the making, forming in my head when I found some lovely little square canvases just waiting to be filled. I finally found the perfect material from my lovely haberdashery shop that reminds me Zandra Rhodes Royal Doulton collection. So with all the perfect bits and pieces, my Tea Cup collection has finally come to life. This is the first of the series, 'Rose Tea'.
'Rose Tea'
'Rose Tea'Created using vintage paper and lace, with early 20th century poetry and lovely hand embroidered fabric. Whilst I was sewing I was dreaming of a Jane Austen world, of tea parties and long walks with Mr. Darcy. Rose Tea is now for sale in my little shop and will have more lovely tea cups and perhaps even a tea pot joining her soon.
This morning was just one of those fabulous days on Etsy, I've heard it happen to others but it was a first for me to get a treasury without stalking for hours. I got on to the treasury and it was at 333 with only 5mins until it was 'treasury time'! I had nothing prepared but had a few ideas and was lucky enough to get one! Everything in my world seems to have a story, even my treasury. It is called 'Willows and Wallflowers' because it is the name of the novel I am slowly writing. It was lovely to bring my ideas to life with beautiful artwork from Etsy.

Some of my very favourite Etsy artists..
Well I'm off to enjoy the afternoon sunshine, finish my second exhibition piece and tidy up my little cottage a bit, it seems scraps of vintage paper are taking over!
May your day be filled with sweet delights...
