Venice Inspiration

I am working on a new piece of work, a column based on Architecture and buildings decay.

See the column sculpture, 'Jeannetta Sculpiturio' on my art portfolio site

www.art2inspire.co.uk

I saw these wonderful videos on the Venetian Carnival and Experience and it led me down new ways and techniques within the art piece.

Hope it inspires you too!

How to make a Fascinator

I have been making Hats and Fascinators with some of my students on a Textile Tuesday.

I found this video and was 'fascinated' and transferred some of the techniques into our

creations.

November 5th

I didn't go out this November the 5th but enjoyed viewing some

of the fireworks from a near by display from the our conservatory

as it was raining hard.

Then Stewart and I watched ' V for Vendetta'.

A controversial film about 'The Gun Powder Plot'

and how it may relate to our, "Future".

Enjoy the videos and then you may want to consider the implications of this future!

Halloween Tribute 2011

I don't normally celebrate Halloween but I have made some bowls see

HERE

and found this video for 'The Monster Mash'

Lace Folded Purse

I am always looking for folded Bag Patterns and especially liked this on. See my version of it on my Blog HERE

Green Lantern DVD

I watch many different medias for inspiration. On Saturday night Stewart and I watched

'The Green Lantern'. Very Comic Book!

Caves of Forgotten Dreams

This clip shows a small glimpse into the French Chavet Caves were the Prehistoric Cave Paintings were found. To think most were done by flame light.

Real Steel

Stewart and I went to see the Film, 'Real Steel', at the Cinema.

It was an insight into how technology is going to change

but societies attitudes may not!

Is it still going to be a throw away World?

I was fascinated by the technology and

where I can take my artwork process to!

Hugh Jackman makes this a feel good film too!

Enjoy this trailer.

Sew Wild Alisa Burke

I have just brought Alisa Burke's book, Sew Wild. This is an interview with

her and a taster of what is in her book.

Enjoy!

Downtown Abbey

I love the series Downtown Abbey and I am so glad it is back on the tv.
Isn't it wonderful it won so many awards?
This video gives you a little taste of the series and rooms at High Clere Castle, near Newbury England.

911

September the 11th is my Birthday but since 911 happened I tend to celebrate either side and keep this day quiet. I have included this video as it shows some of the courage and human spirit that comes out in such tragic circumstances. (Thank you t Judy for sending it to me.)

It is narrated by Tom Hanks.

Purple Journal Pages

This is my latest You tube Journal video.

Journal or Diary Cover

I am making journal and diary covers at the moment. This video is so good and clear with the instructions that I really recommend it.

See the start of my journal cover at Quilters Cottage Studio

Air Swimmers

I saw this fantastic video which was recommended to me by another Artist Judy Ferguson.

They are amazing to watch and the technology behind them is wonderful.
