and so it starts

The start of a journey.

Close ups of work in progress.

Learning

Learning to see again.

When I paint I don't draw.

It is all in my head, and on a good day just unfolds as I go along. 

My next challenge I have given myself is to see again.

Putting pencil to paper and learning to look.

Back to basics I suppose.

This is mad

This is so mad.

I love it.

Glithero made a flammable paint the type you would use on a match stick.

Just like a chemistry experiment I can imagine them sitting round a kitchen table, 

mixing their potions then setting it alight.

See the whole film here.

I also have a desire to have a go at Cyanotype printing once spring comes around.

I have aspirations of mixing the two chemicals together, 

painting the liquid onto massive pieces of watercolour paper 

and exposing my wedding dress to the sun.

Sounds easy right?

I am not so sure, but I think it will be fun to have a go.

I might get the kids to lie on the paper to, see what we get!

Glithero make these lovely tiles you can see more here.

And I would recommend you look here to see them making amazing blueware vases.
