Colour and Texture

This week I have been making some colourful and textured art pieces. Above is a lino cut inspired by Picasso, and below a colourful postcard inspired by the artist Laurie Near.

I've used lots of texture on these fabric postcards which are made from fabric, paper and metal scraps overlaid with organza, burnt in places.

I've also been working on a journal. the covers were made by gluing down lots of textured fabrics, lace, ribbons, paper, dried leaves and texture pastes. It was then painted over with acrylics and inks.

I've also made a mixed media art tag and another journal page.
