Encaustic Waxworkx

(unfinished piece)
This commission is of an industrial seaport; I used my own Encaustic Waxes to create the water…and I quite like the tumultuous atmosphere it seems to have.

The daunting, white canvas…new & improved!

(all pieces depicted are unfinished)
I am seriously loving the hundred year old (not even kidding…), newspaper as a canvas!!!

White canvas is for suckers…

Using a piece of rounded bark as my canvas…well, let’s just say, it has its own set of problems!

DIY: Free Liquid Watercolours…

art, DIY

Dear mums, teachers & artists,

DO NOT THROW OUT YOUR DRIED OUT/EMPTY TEXTAS OR PRINTER CARTRIDGES; instead, soak them in a small amount of water for a week, and lo and behold…free liquid watercolor (excellent adhesion and vibrant colouring)!

Experimenting with traditional crafts…

Some gold foil/leafing experiments that turned out quite well…

Secret installations to delight my guests…

art, installation

I love installing little artistic experiments through out my house; an ornamental tree growing out of the ceiling, paint leaking from a painting, an insect hive; teeming with life, splattered-liquid metal etc. etc…

The colour/style of the installation MUST marry in with its’ surroundings: so, it doesn’t stand out like Babboon’s bollocks and only catches the viewer’s eye, if, they’re paying attention to the little details…thus, creating mystery.
