Next in line is CHUNKIE Mermaid created from plasticine with a gold head piece of elastic woven into a plaited piece…she sports some glitter on her tail and is actually resting deep on the ocean bed….the background is actually 3 photographs of the beach at Lennox Head, i went for a walk yesterday with Scott and Nudge (our dog) and it was so beautiful and overcast the greens and blues were so lovely…..been touched up lots on the computer, her eyes and kiss curls added digitally. I hope you enjoy her :)

Once the Chunkies are created and photographed, I usually dismantle them to be used in the creation of more chunkies, so I am recycling the plasticine. These Chunkies have been very therapeutic to create over the holidays, whilst taking a break from red bubble and having my family around. I have many more to come, and although I won’t be on RB as much, I hope to also be doing some serious painting this year…so i look forward 2009 with much anticipation …

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    o sure!! that’s exactly how it’s done Barbara! :) how did you guess :) ...lol thanx

    ;-)) every time I think I’ve finally got a favourite (which is difficult as is) another one pops up just to prove me wrong! Incredible work you’re doing here.

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    aw, thank you Barbara, I seem to be getting more into it..just as the chunkies are coming to a close…there are 2 more to come….which are already created….then there are 2-3 more more I’d like to create…then it’s back to painting for me…

    this has been a really interesting experiment, i’ve been fascinated with the way you can combine different materials and photoshop and photographry to create something a bit unusual, a bit differnt with a twist…. I have really just run with intuition and not that much planning… a bit like the way i paint….there’s an initial idea which is well thought out and structured but once i begin creating the thoughts leave and i just ‘do’ stuff and ‘stuff happens’...i keep wondering to myself…did i really create these chunkies, or did they just materialise themselves….sort of feels like when you have your own children….i know it’s wierd but they feel like little miracles to me…i actually love them all ;) xxxx
