WHITE SHEEP KNITTING FROM DIP DYED BLUE SHEEP A quirky creation from Caren’s creative canvas and craft!

Just look at the quality of that knitting! told you I was getting good with those toothpicks!!

There has been such a demand for sheep knitting pictures, since I created my first one from my own drawings, I think I have been making them in my sleep. No two are ever exactly the same, so even when I have made another from my own drawings, different combinations of fabrics, positions of sheep etc, make each and every one different and unique!

This little lamb in the sheep dip has the most wonderful colour of blue felt for its fleece, which I managed to match perfectly with some embroidery thread that I used for the little knitted piece.

I love to give the pieces some individual character when I am making them, this one I decided to make the knitting sheep look deep in concentration – you can almost hear the sheep counting stitches!

PIGGIES KNITTING COLLAGE A variety of framed collages are now available on My Etsy Shop

Another hectic week has resulted in more fabric art pieces this is just one of them! Each and everyone I create are from my own imagination, I never recreate exactly the same again! Colour combinations and little twists of my own patterns make them all one offs!

After drawing a simple design for my piggy picture, I created a ‘countryside’ background panel, from a selection of patchwork cottons,to which I could hand applique the little shapes I had cut to form the two piggies and the little lamb. Using felt for the trees, face, trotters and sheep I arranged everything in place before stitching to the panel Then added some simple embroidered grasses and flowers to give a bit more depth to the picture.

Getting really good now at knitting on toothpicks!!!

I knit them both a little pieces from some embroidery thread and secured the tiny ‘needles’ in place with a few more stitches. I thought it would be fun to have them both knitting from the same fleece, its just that one of the piggies has a more forceful approach to her knitting as she seems to be pulling the lamb towards her!

Cute colourful creations from Caren’s canvas and craft! Art for all in many shapes and forms!!

Still Life – “On a Ledge Series” ‘Geranium and Harvey’ – Oil Still Life

“On a Ledge Series” – Geranium and Harvey!

Today seems to be a day of showing you my art in different mediums. This oil painting was a rerun of the pastel version (compare) Still Life Pastel “On a Ledge Series” – Geranium and Friend Harvey. I can never decide if I like this one or the pastel version more, I think they both have their own appeal for different reasons.

The reasoning and inspiration for this series; Bored and uninspired one day, I stood in my kitchen wondering what I could draw? Whilst wondering I absent mindedly started tidying and rearranging things on the ledge. I’m not one for nice pot ornaments, rather have slightly wacky or weird decorative things around! So, as I now had a disarrayed pile of things I had moved and a clean window ledge – The idea struck me. I could use it as a little staging area for a series of still life pictures!!!

‘Cezanne’s -“Mount. Saint. Victoire” overlooks, Renoir’s- “Boating on the Seine” !’ OR “Rowing on a Mountain Lake”!

This is one of a mini series of paintings I did, working from old Master’s works. I had the idea of trying to seamlessly gel together two different artists’ masterpieces to form one new image (See another example of this in Still Life (Master Compilation Series) -” ‘EAR’, Where’s He Gone?” – Oil Still Life) These two scenes above, painted in oil, I think, work very well together, and it seems completely plausible that this scene could actually exist. Artwork with a twist. If you take away the titles of the Master’s works and I gave it a new title now as an original painting of “Rowing on a mountain lake” Maybe!!!?

I Titled this painting – ” ‘EAR’, Where’s He gone?”

This little painting is the result of playing around one day with Old Master’s Works. I had the idea of ‘gelling’ together two different paintings by two different artists. Of course I can’t take any credit for their artworks in the first place, though I must admit to being very pleased with the idea I had. (It turned out to be a mini series of four so far) Though perspectively challenged I do like the fact that they have seamlessly gelled into one picture. To add to the quirkiness to Whistler’s Mother and Van Gogh’s Chair I think the title I gave it just adds a little fun!
