Good morning everybody, is it as grey where you are? Just a little announcement, i finaly put up my etsy shop. Something that has been in the air since last summer....getting around to it. I have a few items listed, and will put more gradually, but i wanted to show those two pieces off on the blog, since i like them a lot.
First of all they involved a pretty intense quest to find the actual logs...it was a tricky matter since wood dries, and i could not use bark that was not dried well, since that would meen it would dry after being painted on, and nobody could predict what that would look like. (paint chipping, bark ripping off...wood benting on itself.) So, i managed to find actual crusts of trees.. (not without great help, thanks to my dad <3, and to his friend Yves Rivard for his help) that had been sitting inside for a couple years, and oh god, where they far from home! Then, the prepping began, i'll save you the steps, but lets just say those where kind of the holy grail of the Girls of a Feather art show. The one concept that was teasing my artiste-peintre's heart...Girly paintings on real rough logs...
