You will make 2 pieces of art to take away.

Art will need to be collected from the centre a few days later as it will be too wet to carry home on the day

Craft Market


 Today I did a Craft stall in the Gloucester Farmers Market

My stall and the other stalls in the Farmers Market sold only items made or produced in Gloucestershire 

  



These are my favorite items at the moment



Surprisingly, many people were interested in my painted stones which I had only brought to keep the tablecloth from flapping around in the breeze !

I need to book another market soon

Fire Art using Alcohol Inks

 This was my first attempt at "Fire Art"




I have been making art using alcohol inks for some time and have seen other artists have "fired" their tiles for a lovely effect but up until now I have not tried it out. 



Lighting the ink and burning off the alcohol gives a different effect that you could not get with a brush or using a dropper with the alcohol ink. I just love the "Bottom of The Sea" effect you get with fire



These are the sprays that I use to seal, UV treat and varnish my AI tile paintings. I do 3 coats of each spray starting with the seal, UV then varnish. These are available on Amazon and Ebay.

However, I am planning on trying resin on these tiles for the first time and will add a picture when I have done this

SAFETY NOTE

If you try this type of art please be ultra safety aware as you are literally "playing with fire" 

It is best to put your tiles on a metal surface such as a baking tray and where possible work outdoors

Do leave your comments or questions below

Take care
