Bubble wrap fun and a cat

 Click image to enlarge!

The following was using a bubble wrap to create the patterns

 the starting paint on a glazed tile

pressing the bubble wrap on the glazed tile

Before I used the bubble wrap I pressed a canvas on the tile creating a mirror image of it.

finally I used the color on the bubble wrap to "paint" a CARBON paper and an acrylic one.  You can see many of the colors get lost on the CARBON paper. And changed the feeling of it.



 Lastly I had some digital fun with a cat I photographed, This time I used Topaz to do it. I find it relaxing after spending many hours at the library.

Tiny wooden boats and a little PS

 Click image to enlarge!

This is what the final exhibition looks like. Just a little is missing to the right. 
One more week to go, then it is over.

People seem to like the small wooden boats so I created a few more. These are shorter then the other one. I share before and after the balloon pressing.  I think that this would be fun for teachers in school to do with their students. Easy to do, not that much sloppy and fun. And it is useful to keep small things in. 

Finally, 2 more works in Photoshop.

Wave and exhibition plans

A dragonfly got Twisted in Photoshop
Who knew it could look like that 😊

Did set up the display case yesterday. But seeing the shot now I think I will change it.
The canvases seem crowded and need to be moved "downstairs"

Wooden boats and balloon prints
Just some testing. Would see if it was possible to use the balloon in those small wooden boats. They are really made for serving vegetables for dinner.
Last time I played with Sprinklers they lost colors when getting into  the tempera color. This time I sprayed them with fixative first and let them dry before I added them to the glue. It worked

The actual exhibition starts Monday. So far I mainly played around sharing old pieces and test objects in the additional time I had. Having fun with it. 😎😊
Still to close to summer so, not much people around. Hopefully more visitors next two weeks.

Headstart of exhibition and crop

I found this image from a rainy field in my files looking for a bird and decided to play around a bit with it.

I added a BOKEH texture of mine and this is the result.

I, sort of, got myself in a fun situation. As I mentioned earlier I will have an exhibition in the library starting  190902.

Monday evening I got an email. Due to changes this place will be empty until you start your exhibition. Do you want to use it???? 
They don´t like empty walls :)

Instead of 2 weeks I got almost 4.  Sure I want 

As the layout for the planned exhibition is not yet finished I quickly decided to use the extra time to play around with. I grabbed some pieces and went to the library next morning. When there I realized most of the posters was from Yellowstone 3 years ago. And my bird poster. Day 2 I added some of the chain pulls and pours. I have warned people on an INFO-paper that this time the walls will change constantly until the planned exhibition is set up.

This morning I thought I will use the board to the left to share some of my testing canvases. You never see test or unfinished objects in exhibitions so I think I will do that. Will be cool to see peoples reactions.

Fall is slowly arriving and kids are back to school.  Hope everyone is healthy and fine.

Preparing for exhibition

NatureFootstep "Gott o blandat"  (Approx (Good and mixed")
This image will be used for advertising and header on FB, Instagram and local papers.

Poppy
One of our Mansions have a gorgeous flower field right now. Colors enhanced otherwise unchanged.

I think I will call this "Lost in space."
It is not yet finished. If it turns out as I want it I will include it to the Exhibition.
It is a canvas 40x30 cm. The orange stuff is a tangle of thin metal wire I found overrun by cars in the street. I liked the look of it. I glued 2 golden earth maps on the canvas. My concern now is how to fasten the tangle. I have got golden threads from a friend so I think I will sew the tangle to the canvas. I just have to make a test before I do. I don´t want to spoil it :) I also think of adding "Sprayed white stars" But not sure about it. What do you think??

Testing and exhibition

 Click image to enlarge!

These are my contribution to Gallery KIKK:s exhibition themed "Microcosmos"
This exhibition ends Aug 14th

Seascape!
This is a test to see what it will look like on my upcoming exhibition in the Library. I have the canvases and the scallops and they are a bit fragile. I got the aquarium a while ago from a friend and thought I might use it to "cover" them. And, hopefully make it more interesting.
This will probably be my last exhibition so I would like it to "stand out".

Flight to the heavens!
This dragonfly is created by an Industrial artist I know. I visited it and noticed the sun was right in it´s belly.  Can´t resist such a thing. :)  When I studied the image at home I was surprised to see a rainbow above it´s head. Used a filter in Photoshop to create the look on the clouds.

Sailing!
This is two sailing boats to start with. Twisted and filtered in Photoshop.

Sun is shining today and it is not that hot. At least not yet. It is still morning in Sweden. I can notice the fall is soon here.
