Gelatine Prints

Fold Face

Easy paint and fold face, then 'Gimp' (free downloadable picture editor) addition of eyes, brows, mouth, nose and hair - a mother daughter creation.

Earth Stick girls

A fun project made with clay faces - air dried and painted, sticks and material - everything fairly compostable and attainable. Fun garden imps to keep things happy in the sandpit.

Ephemeral banana and eucalypt mandala

Inspired by a FB post of James Blunt art. Materials: Banana bell (male bud) with lines of male flowers inside (these produce the pollen) and red banana bell bracts (modified leaves), eucalypt leaves/buds and flowers (in the middle), and charcoal. Today a couple of terrific home-schoolers and I had a wonderful exercise in collection, categorising, clearing (raking) leveling, placement, pattern recognition, spacing, measuring, preparing, botany, dissection, ephemeral art, environmental awareness and patience.

Eco-dye without salts in a copper bath on wool

I was interested to see what would happen if I only used copper items in the bath with singapore daisy and then 'wood square' wrapped the wool with raggedy anne, carob leaves, poinciana and Tassie cordata. Very subtle colourings...I think I will overdye using a iron bath...
