My Creative Space - in Painting Mode

Still on the road  in my gypsy life but managed to find a piece of paradise for a couple of days and of course out came the paints.  The weather was fantastic for painting outdoors making the light for my new colour mix the best.   I still agonised over the form and shape of the right hand rocks. I wanted to use colour range to create the shape and smooth texture of water eroded rocks.  I am much happier with the outcome but still have to create more contrast of colour and place in the light from sun reflection. 

Then the final job.  To place in the under water rockshelves and the fish that has the atttention of Ruby and Kai. A very tricky task, and knowing what, and what not to include from my master photo is the challenge.

I've placed the painting in a non secure frame to get the sense of the defined scene and hopefully this will help in  the final stages of completeing the painting. 



This is the master photo for the painting. 
The fish is in the rockpool and  its a challenge to see.
 And how much of the fish and under water rockshelves do I include in the painting.



My Creative Space - 2 weeks on.

On the road again and into my gypsy life.  The problem is internet connection. We have found a little bit of paradise on the Eyre Peninsular, Lowly Point - Spenser Gulf.  I was concerned because eventhough good fishing for Tony ( my Hubby), no connection for me to post my blog.  Two weeks travelling and no "My Creative Space" - a tragedy.  However, all is up graded  at our camp site and connection I have.  A bit late but hopefully I can still post.

In the past 2 weeks I have worked on my painting, made some stamps and extended my button jewellery design. 

My painting and those !!#^** rocks I'm actually developing and will be finished very soon.  I will post the supposedly final edition soon, but here are my stamps and a taste of the new Button design.

The start of my OZ animal collection for my Grandies.  The Dragon Fly and Echidna.



I have been working on my chuncky style and created 3 Button necklaces. After refining my black and white number, I recreated the green.yellow and orange one and then ventured to a metal creation.  I haven't posted the others as my Hubby wasn't too flash in the camera department.  The design seems to work but I feel it does need to be short
Opinions would be appreciated
