I have been caught up in other things and haven't posted much lately . However I picked up a canvas work that got put aside quite some time ago and started stitching on it again - its working title is Daintree Dreaming. It started life as swirly sketch which I photocopied and painted and the colours and leaf forms reminded me of leaf litter when we explored the Cape Tribulation area. It is a magic place. I have some barramundi leather that I have been saving and will apply in a couple of spots to bring up the texture.I think if I keep at it I have about 15 hours work left before it is done! Not much in the scheme of things as I posted a photo of the sketch in 2008!
I haven't done much drawing lately either - no pears or life drawing! Managed to get out my charcoal and do a couple of fun squiggles though. I am practising trying to get dimension and depth - I will need to add some compressed charcoal to my supply - I only have willow and when I try to smudge it it lifts off - might alos be that the paper doesn't have enough tooth - I do my drawings in a A4 visual diary
