New Work for Rainy Days

After much prompting from himself I have returned to the blog for a quick update.

Would you believe, I grew this beautiful lemon all by myself? My poor lemon tree took its sweet time cultivating its very first child, spending literally months getting it ready for us to eat.

I've been experimenting and playing around with a new design concept - using stamps. Yes, postage stamps! Then overlaying them with stencils. I tried it out for my dad's birthday card, creating a pocket watch stencil for it. The stencils on top of the stamps almost resemble the post office stamps you get on the corner of your envelope.

I then developed the idea a little further for the Rainy Days Exhibition held at Cube Art & Design in July.

I entered two little pieces on the canvas blocks provided. To my surprise both of them sold! I hope they've gone to a loving and creative home and get hung somewhere special.
