Back to some craftwork

Aug 23, 2007 16:54

It's been a long while that I've been fiddling around making things. But Tuesday found me at the ironing board making wax-pictures. Something I haven't done in a long while.

I won't comment them but let you lose yourself in them at will :)

But I can't resist adding one here …

rich, translucent cloudpic August 23 2007, 17:56:03 UTC

They're amazing, HP! I'm going exploring online to see how they're done! Such rich color... and they almost seem translucent...lighted from behind.

I peeked at the others and fell in love with the one with teal at the heart. They seem to give a notion of both rick satin fabrics and natural objects.

Wow!!

You saw it too? So I#m not going mad then ;)

It's not that difficult really. It's basically applying some coloured wax to an iron (one of the old type that don't jet steam) and allowing it to wander of over the card. The less you steer what's happening the more you get really.

I can't believe you made this!!! It's wonderful!!! wow. gorgeus!!
Oh it makes me think of rich fabric curtains opening to the otherworld, and you can see the hills and things, and just see villages in the distance. Gorgeous! Abosolutley stunning. Love the blend of colors, it's just WOW.

thanks.

Funny how that happens really. Many of them tend to have curtains when I look over them. Now what would that say aobut the artist? Hmmmm

I tihnk it says that the artist is constantly seeking something out of reach. Trying to be better, or learn a truth that she's been glimpsing through a shroud?
I only ever Phsyched 101ed so don't expect that to be an expert opinion.

Those are absolutely beautiful. I'm permanently in awe of all you artistic folk. I'm glad you posted them.

This is fascianting, have you thought of getting a deviantart account to post them on?

Wow. I never considered that. But then again I usually dapple with sound - i.e. music.

Hmmm … worth a thought though. Thanks for bringing it up :)

Those are beautiful! I see curtains, but mainly "wings." :) Phoenix Wings.
