26 - THE CROCK OF GOLD - DAVE EDWARDS - INK, WATERCOLOUR & COLLAGE - 1996 by

This was inspired by James Stephens’ book, The Crock of Gold.

I did this thirteen years ago and never thought about it again until this week, when I decided to upload a few old collages.

For those interested, I used collage for the crock of gold and the leprechaun and for the background I splashed watercolour paint onto the page and then drew around the splashes with ink.

    wow I just love the crock of Gold..it looks so mysterious and I’d like to find that ..well done dave..looks great!!!

  • I’ll tell you where it is … all you have to do is send me a cheque for $1,000 and I will send you a map that will reveal where there is a million dollar’s worth of gold. Oh dear … I am starting to sound like one of those email scams :)
