Back to the sketch book to plan a set of spiral note books in steel and enamel. Planning to keep them simple, uncluttered and 3"x 2".

A GRAND DAY OUT
The lovely Mr Brown dragged me out of the studio for an airing yesterday.
Where did we go? Looks like Italy, but no it was Birmingham.

ON GOING ENAMEL
You didn't think I would leave the metal blank did you,it's not that I can't leave well alone, but when I plan and draw something I do like to see it develop and appear in the flesh.
Minimal is not in my nature, but I would love to have that light, spare touch.This piece is not finished, I have just a few more transfers to attach and then sand blast some shapes into the enamelled surface.

WORK IN PROGRESS
And so it begins, the steel is cut and the hinges work, the spot welding is done
and the grip coat has been fired on without a hitch. The piece looks pristine, I like the simplicity and at a pinch I would leave it at that. What makes us go on? Often to over work something or create technical problems that more firings will produce. I would like to think that it is the explorer in me?
I came across this saying posted on http://www.artpropelled.blogspot.com/
"Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Even though you're feeling deeply, lightly let things happen, and lightly cope with them on tip toes and with no luggage, completely unencumbered".
Aldous Huxley
I know it's not like me to post deep and meaningful, but this struck a cord and I hope to act upon it with this piece of work... well I will try!
