Trying to add a three dimensional element to the finished pieces. I also like the idea of the 'characters' partially hidden from view. So difficult to photograph - much lovelier in the flesh!<br />

I bought the above on eBay - a dark blue vintage briefcase once belonging to piano teacher containing music books, examination information and certificates.

The work is placed in water (I think this is
where the cracking of the glaze happens - but can't be sure). Then the
work is rinsed, any stubborn areas scrubbed and there is your finished
piece!</div>

Trying to work with the monoprinting and the ink together. In reality it is not working as well as it does in my imagination but I shall persevere...<br />
The inverted images are interesting. </div>

These have had been painted with masking fluid (for a thicker line and to maintain the areas of black - the unglazed areas after the raku firing) and then the glaze has been added on top. I will be scratching into these to try out some different lines.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pottery is such a frusrating long, long process... I have to put these up now as I can't wait another month. They aren't too exciting but I sure the finished product will be fine.

Kingston John Lewis have just opened a new gallery on the bridge, near the restaurant, and three other artists and I went to meet customers and to have a chat to anyone who may be interested hearing about our work. This was held in John Lewis's lovely riverside restaurant.Bridget Davieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10601477615334012376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427915632800767816.post-10046669820660776722011-10-20T13:12:00.000-07:002011-10-21T09:14:03.833-07:00I'd love to design some scarves!!I bought a copy of World of Interiors a few years ago. The cover was interesting as it had a room with scarves framed on the wall. I'm selling some paintings as prints already and I thought scarves may be a another nice idea. They can be framed or worn, simple as some of my monoprints, or maybe more complicated tailor made paintings.<br />
Oh course as I gave this more thought it became very exciting. Scarves need to be packed in a beautiful box, they need to be wrapped in lovely coloured crispy tissue with a sticker. They need pretty labels that match all the different colours and designs. It means shopping for all these things and who would have thought researching boxes and tissue could be so engrossing. It also means some shopping with Moo cards... can't wait! I also do so very much love my vintage souvenir scarves!<br />
<br />
The logo for the box is the hardest. I've too many ideas...<br />

Tin foil produces some lovely effects and can be crinkled up and the used as the plate. Studios a total mess though...<br />
