Fabric Streets and Houses

 

I use second hand frames found in charity or secondhand shops to frame fabric collages pictures. The pictures are made using second hand fabrics and old clothing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Each picture developes randomly with no fore planning, I just play with the fabrics and colours until I think it looks right.

Sometimes whole streets appear and somtimes just single houses with a tree. The background fabric is sometimes incorporated into the picture too.

 

Pole Painting

I have decided to use some of the branches I cut off the trees in our garden as artwork for my fence.

Armed with bits of left over paints I have been decorating these poles so I can set them along a VERY boring fence to give it a bit more character

 These are some of my works in progress. I make the base colourful and then I start to add finer details such as spots, spirals and circles.

   I just let myself paint freehand and made it up as I went along. I have noy yet finished but it is VERY therapeutic and I have really enjoyed myself so far.
