" WAITING "
Ooops – I should have ironed this before I photographed it.
I love combining tecniques.
This is a photo of a sculpture that I found at Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex,
I transferred it onto a piece of material and then added a bit of felt work and stitching.
Charleston Farmhouse is a beautiful old cottage that nestles below the South Downs near Berwick.
It was the holiday house of Vanessa Bell Duncan Grant, Virginia Woolfe and the Bloomsbury set.
I sat there on a Summers day and thought how wonderful it would be to create a place just like it where artists and creators could hang out and collaborate.
Does anyone know whose head this is? Aphrodite maybe or is it Diana?
Does anyone know if we have a textile art group here?
" WAITING " belongs to the following groups:
A New Aesthetic.... Divine and Otherwise , Greek and Roman Mythology, Pop Art and WA Red Bubbles Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

nice work!..you did this recently?
Ariane replied
About a year ago – the cat has been sleeping on it.
I suddenly got the feeling to rescue it this morning and get it framed.

This is so creative,Ariane! The felt pieces add a fun and quirky feel to the old statue piece, coming together of the old and new, a great combi of various moods and emotions :D There’s a textures group, not too sure about the textiles though.
Ariane replied
Thanks UC I’ll go check out the textures group.

Ariane replied
Yes -well put b. – that’s what I was trying for – an Energy Crown.
Thats what I saw when I first looked at the head.
