New piece of work

It’s been so long since I last updated my blog. I have been so busy with the summer holidays, having my wisdom teeth out (ouch) and getting creative. At Morgenland I have created my most favourite piece of wood carving yet, seen above. This was the first time Erwin has allowed me to use a piece of wood in his offcut collection. – oak! I felt honoured to be able to carve such a beautiful piece of wood. The tools literally glided through the surface. So satisfying. I was truly in the zone doing this piece. And I think it shows. Even Erwin said it was my masterpiece! He also suggested it looks like a green fish in a smart coat which I like. With this in mind I think I'll call him Dapper.

Artwork at Sekundarschule Rosenau

I love looking at young people's art. It has such energy and imagination and I always find it inspiring. So I am very happy to have found a host of local school pupil’s artwork to enjoy. The artwork of students at Sekundarschule Rosenau in Winterthur is being posted on a blog for all to see.

Their latest project involves the continuation of a picture outside the frame and it’s wonderful how the students have approached this particular project. There are rainbows, snakes, pizza cheese, an eyeball and even the universe eeking out of the picture frames. Oil pastels were used to paint the motifs on paper and the outlines of each was carefully cut away from frames found online.
