What a week.....


..... too much work and not enough time on the beach.
NOVA, the North Norfolk Organisation for Visual Artists, was having a show at the Vernon Arms, in their garden, and were short on pieces. "Raindrops" was finished on Saturday morning, early, and made it to the
garden by ten thirty. And I found a tree.

The butterfly shows normal service has been resumed.

I love the raindrops - what are they made of??

Have you identified the flutterbye? As you know, The Independent has been running this series on flutterbyes, has this one been featured?

They are wood!
They were made from off-cuts, in pine, from our building works. The shapes are cut on the bandsaw then carved. Then painted .... then wired with pikewire .... then hung in suitable tree.

Jenny reckons the butterfly is a comma, somewhat faded. We are following the Indie butterfly news and using the big wallchart .... shame they didn`t include sizes!

Ian said...

Well thats a very realistic flutterbye. Even I couldnt tell the difference

I did wonder if the raindrops were wood as that is what you usually work with, but they certainly don't look like wood all painted up! How lovely, and what an ingenious idea
