DIY pet step for Puppy's advancing years

Rosie, artworker September 9, 2017

I'm currently engaged in commissioned work for a luxury hotel - at 28 pieces its the biggest commission I've ever know - and I'm not at liberty to share any images of it. So all the showing off I get to do is in that last sentence. However, there is a lull in artwork proceedings at the moment, so here’s a photoshop bonanza of step by step pics following the making of Puppy's new couch step! Time wasting!

I've gilded a lot of surfaces over the decades and lace is one of them, but I've never made a garment with it before.

DIY gift: Mickey Mouse with lace ears t-shirt

Rosie, artworker December 16, 2013

Christmas is coming, now now now. The frightening onward march of time that leads inexorably to actually having to sort out gifts for like, everyone, at Christmas, is NOW.

So I've made a few gifts with fabric, paint & lace applique which should cover most of the girl portion of my gift list, PHEW.

DIY patchwork tree baubles

Rosie, artworker December 14, 2013

So as far as Christmas DIY's go, this one is acceptably anti-horrid (seriously, what is WITH that red & green?? It's just weird.) and most importantly, cheap. Granny Corner approves of cheap. Also jewellery, GC really, really believes in that.

Mini sculpture gallery; chapter 3: mini timber sculptures

THIS chapter is about making the jolly little balsa wood sculpture pieces to inhabit my dioramas. And this is a really interesting chapter too.

Mini sculpture gallery; chapter 2: dioramas

Rosie, artworker October 1, 2013

Dioramas are uncharted territory for me, but from the beginning of my research for this project, I've been amazed at the creative possibilities of this whole subject and amazed that I haven't investigated it before. There is so much in this!
