Moss Art

I started painting and using Moss. There seems to be a trend with moss and using it in those IKEA box frames.

But I wanted to do something different. I integrated paintings with moss art. It is a bit of a continuance of the work I do with herbs dried flowers and things like lavender in art.

I know I’m not the first person to do it because I’ve seen recently how some of the top website artists and creative people have been integrating dried flowers to make their hair look big. And this picture shows me using moss simply by adding some texture to enhance the grass.

The other thing in this picture that stands out is the texture on the top of the frame. I found a new way of integrating my love of decorative nail trim.

Using vintage Emerald Green Swarovski Crystals

This week, my post will speak for itself. It is a movie. You can hear me thinking and stumbling on not being able to say Swarovski Crystals. In this video, you will see that I used emerald green Swarovski Crystals for this emerald green and copper checkerboard painting. I like to create paintings like this, so they are ready to prop on a bookshelf without buying a frame. The dried lavender makes the painting smell wonderful.

We all need something uplifting and sweet-smelling and natural on our bookshelves, don’t we?

Upcycled textile wall art layered discs

I made these fabric disks in the Christmas break and originally had them on my wall spread out like the old flying duck motif.

But this weekend I was having a tidy up and rearranged some of wall decor. They look better layered up, I think.

I’m back to making and will do a few more of these discs and other shapes.

It’s been difficult finding time to make but I’ve managed to clear the decks for a season of showcasing my hand made office decor creations made from upcycled fabrics, cosmetics and skincare products.

It’s going to be a creative season. If you want to ask me anything about wall. Desk or wall styling drop me a line.

I’ve noticed the more we do Webex, Skype, Zoom meetings the more important it is to hand craft our own mise-en-scène. That’s film talk for how we look on screen.
