Collaboration Part 5: Hairy Heads

Monday, May 14th, 2012
Posted in: Blog, Collaboration, Work In Progress

We had another productive weekend this week working on our pieces for the fairytale exhibition next month. We didn’t get all the work done that we’d have liked to as we were awaiting the delivery of some materials but we still made good progress. Two of our characters, Little Red and Joringel were adorned with nice full heads of raven black hair as you can see above.

Collaboration Part 4: Illustrated Objects

Friday, May 11th, 2012
Posted in: Blog, Collaboration, Work In Progress

Here are some more snippets from the collaborative creatures I’m working on at the moment with Layla Holzer. I thin you’ll agree that the nightingale painted up by Layla is a real thing of beauty. That particular piece will form a part of the puppet that illustrates the Grimm’s Jorinda and Joringel story.

Collaboration: Part 1

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012
Posted in: Blog, Collaboration, Work In Progress

This last week I commenced work on a new collaborative project with the wonderfully talented fairy tale illustrator Layla Holzer in preparation for a rather exciting exhibition next month.

The work is in it’s very infancy as you can see from the papier-mâché cocoons pictured above. There’s rather a lot of work to be done in a relatively short space of time so I’m not going to give to much about the project just yet but you might find a clue in my previous post. I can assure you that the work will be delightfully dark and magical and you can expect plenty of updates on here though as the work progresses.

In the mean time you might like to go check out some of Layla’s work at www.laylaholzer.co.uk.

A Rain of Birds

This beautiful embroidery is the work of Ukrainian artist Ivan Semesyuk. He works in paint and creates sculptures too but it’s textile work that stands out strongest. If you have a little rummage through Semesyuk’s website you’ll find some beautifully embroidered creatures from birds like those pictured above to much more monstrous beasts.

Happy Red Fish Embroideries

Saturday, April 14th, 2012
Posted in: Blog

I found the work of the Happy Red Fish on Behance this week. These collages are made from a combination of printed ink images and hand embroidered thread which makes for quite beautiful images.

The Happy Red Fish have experimented with a few different combinations of sewn and embroidered materials which includes plush toys made from plastic bags and various multi-media collages. It’s all beautifully made work and has given me some wonderful ideas for ways in which to push my own embroideries into new realms.
