More Finery

 Another selection of beadwork necklaces from "Finery". These were the earliest pieces made for the exhibition up to a year ago and are rather more conventional in their aesthetic than the mostly cloth pieces I made in the last few months. The piece to the far left is actually mixed beads and embroidery and a close shop was shown in my last blog.

And then a few days ago I did this small image just for fun because I haven't painted for months.
It started as a black and white photograph of 1920s actress Dorothy Sebastian which I altered in Photoshop. Then the altered image was printed on achival paper and pasted to this 20x40x5cm board and overpainted with acrylic paint.
