pure experimentation with skies and water
unfortunately - the multitude of cracks that were supposed to appear in the water have 'disappeared' for some strange reason..

madré
madrébatik on cotton - 21 x 24cm
My mother asked me if I had tried working in black and white; I haven't got that stark as yet, but I decided to try a mono-tone piece... and since she instigated it, it's in her hommage!

S's Spitfire
S - 'spitfire'39 x 22cm on cotton

This started off as a joke - "yeah! you can make me a spitfire..."
so, I did!
it's very comic book 'flat' - and I still have to experiment more with clouds.
but it was fun to do

Peahen n°2

The second Peahen
Learning to keep the white 'white' by doing 3 layers of wax and not too hot; and experimenting with the brush strokes for the feather effect on the background.

The original 'Peahen'
The idea started from a photograph of a peacock, I wondered if I could work with the colours.
I loved the orange and deep turquoise, but wasn't convinced with the woman (although, I've had several people prefer this one!) - so I decided to try it again - see batik n°6
