The one's that didnt quite make it

You know for some reason I cant explain why some of my paintings and textiles  make it and others dont , this is a view I would see quite often when walking on Gormanston beach ,  I like it but dont know of its quite finished yet altough its a peaceful painting i dont think it done yet so i wont be letting it go just yet 

I was playing around with some gutta and fabric paint  but never really moved on with this 

sorry for the picture quality , I did this when I was in college it is completely textiles , layers of fabric and stitch but for some reason never did anything with it 

Mabey too dark  trying to capture a misty sunset 

and then there was this quite large piece , no title but I was at the time trying to capture an under water feeling , lots of people that visit my studio love this , but again I dont know what it is ,  I wont let it go just yet think a few changes are needed 

I do like this section  oh and the stones ,

But there you have it some work that lies around for some time  untill I deside what to do with them or change them ,
I think it comes down to what I was trying to achive at the time and sometimes pieces take on their own direction but these ones dont know where their going yet.

Organic Melody

So I did say I had new work.  I have been working on this one for a while , its quite big  3 panels each 3.5ft by 1ft .
In this piece I used silks, linens, cotton, lace, buttons, beads and paint.
I called it Organic Melody ,  dont ask me , it just came into my head one day as I was happly sewing away.
I entered it into the RDS show but no luck this year , but never mind I will enjoy looking at this on for a while ,
so hope you enjoy these photos










Untill next time
