I recently finished these two rather snooty looking gentlemen. Their bodies are made from vintage wooden shoe trees and the heads are high-fired porcelain. I have a big box of vintage shoe trees (thanks to Stephen) so expect to see a few more 'shoe people' turning up on here...
I have just been visiting my lovely friend Pat Mcdonald and I took the opportunity to photograph a little artist's book which I gave her for her birthday a couple of months ago. I forgot to do it at the time. She was quite unwell earlier this year but she always found that being near the sea made her feel so much better. And she does love to sing!
It's like my other little accordian folded books, SWIM and Ladies of Twose (see posts in May 2016) in that it is made using collagraph prints and hand coloured elements. The book is about 12.5cms x 11cms when closed (66cms opened out).
