| A visit to the botanics Glasgow 23 x 23 cm gouache, watercolour and methyl cellulose on paper with fused plastic frame |
Over the holdiays I had absolutely no time to work. I did look, mess around on my new iPad and explore mount cutting with my new tool. I also made more re-fused plastic badges. On one of the early mounts, I ripped the paper on the good side of the mount and that led to me to thinking about flipping the approach to framing that I had been exploring with my fused plastic. In recent fused plastic the inside image was stitched fused plastic while the frame was painted. I wondered whether the reverse would be equally interesting.
One of the highlights of our trip to Glasgow was a visit to the Botanic Garden.
As you might imagine, I am a big fan of the work of John McAllister https://www.artsy.net/artist/john-mcallister. His colour, the way he uses frames and his use of pattern delight me!
So all of that together was how I began to get back to work again, a little over the weekend and more today. I can't decide if it works or not.
