Art pieces
Spent the afternoon actually playing with paints again for the first time in ages - only fabric paint mind you but have created some motifs based on the fascias at Holborn. They're about the length of a remore control and a bit nicer than they've come out in the pics taken in my very dark workroom
Done by the very simple method of printing out the pictures in B&W, putting them on a lightbox and painting in the black. I liked the simple effect of the black and white, but as I had bronze and turquoise paint (which has come out as a much brighter blue on my monitor) I got into adding colour. While the paint was wet I threw on fine bronze glitter. Once they've dried, I'll iron them to set the paint, then they can be appliqued to a garment - current design idea in onto the sleeve of jackets, with a yet-to-be-done painting of the detail of the larger head:
to be done for the centre back, and strips of the detail to be used for cuff edging and collar...the large pieces will have beading for some of the fine detailing.
After I've done these, I'd like to do similar with the Finsbury Park balloons - I think they'd lend themselves to splendid embroideries for waistcoats.
Eventually, a whole wardrobe of strange clothes based on images, forms and colours suggested by the tube will be created, and with luck exhibited somewhere, even if that just means on the backs of people who are intrigued by the pieces I'm hoping to create.
