I’m working on a series of collaged pieces on wooden cradle frames. This is the second in the series, and I posted about the first one last week. For now I’m not sure where I am going with these works or whether they will have a common theme. I’m mostly just doing them for enjoyment.
Things to check out this weekend:
Got Craft?
The Spot Prawn Festival
Aberthau Potters Club Pottery Sale - Saturday, 10 - 4 pm, 4397 W. 2nd Ave. (Jericho Beach area)

This week I skipped my moleskin sketchbook and went straight for one of the wooden cradle frames that have been wasting away in my art supply box for months. I started with a page torn from a book about the sketches of Leonardo da Vinci, and slowly built the composition around it with the hat wearing male figure and butterflies. Everything else was added as I looked around my apartment and found more long neglected items I’d collected with the intention of using them for “something.” I still need to do some work on the sides of the piece, and I think I will add a bit of colour to the background using watercolours.
As pictured below, I made a huge mess all over the living room floor by the time I was done.
