Sculpture has a wonderful effect on a garden - adding interest and intrigue - not only giving the viewer something lovely to look at but leading the eyes and feet around the garden. Sculpture means different things to different people - it might be a special piece of art, a fountain of even a bench. Anything that provides a focal point while enhancing the planting of the garden, adding drama and interest to the space.
In our busy lives, it’s easy to take simple but important things for granted and to lose our connection with the natural world around us. Providing us with the air we breathe, materials for our homes, our environment also gives us amazing inspiration for art. From the array of colours in a sunset to the complex structure of a pine cone, many artists use this inspiration in different forms of artwork such as canvas, wall art or sculpture.
As we emerge from the gloomy winter months, our thoughts turn to spring cleaning those forgotten corners of our house. Although it might not be time to pack away the gloves and scarves quite yet, this is the perfect time to get our clothes and houses all sorted and ready for sunnier times!
Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 11th March this year. As mums around the country are showered with cards, chocolates and flowers, what will you do to show your mum how much she is loved and appreciated?
To celebrate the month of Love, I ran a Valentine's themed workshop to decorate a beautiful heart-shaped box. I though I'd share the process so you too can create a unique box, in any shape you fancy, as a unique gift for someone special or just for yourself! With Powertex & the huge range of embellishments, inks, rice papers & finishes, the sky's the limit on this wonderful project! Happy Making!
