art gallery

I went to an small art gallery with a friend last week and took a few photos of the things i like. and while there I came across an artist who used paper clay in her painting.

By Sheila Stone
Its called metamorphise number one and was done with oil on board with ceramic clay.

Here are a few of the other paintings i liked.

monoprinting

I wanted to have a message on my paper boats...like the boat acts as the message in a bottle...
heres some photos of how i did the monoprint on the paper clay.

Pugging

On friday i spent the morning learning how to recycle and pug clay to save money....

paper boats

Here are some of the paper boats i made.

paper clay

Im basing all my work on paper clay, i love it so much because its really easy to use and gives a realistic vision of paper boats. I watched a elaine do a demenstration on paper clay.. here are some photos i took to document the time.

boats

I narrowed down my voyage expedition, and im focusing on the idea of message in a bottle and the journey a message can take.

then i moved slightly onto paper boats and how they float.

To begin my word of voyage i took some photos to inspire me on what i would focus on, I went to my house in kilkee as it was a perfect sea side location with scenery and boats.
