The finishing touches have been made, I am particularly pleased with the sand blasted moth details, not quite through to the metal. It gives a lovely grainy, mat surface to the enamel. 
I have also sandblasted the enamel away on the back of the piece. 
Now I have finish the concertina book I am now turning my energies onto developing the spiral bound note books. This is the first experiment.About 3ins x 2ins, this book is made of steel and uses a variety of enamel techniques
Again I am exploring sandblasting images into the enamel surface.
The Twenty Twenty Gallery at Much Wenlock, Shropshire has just taken delivery of these beetle spoons, it is a lovely gallery and Much Wenlock is a great place for a day out.
The spiral bound books are divine! I keep meaning to e mail and ask about Cardiff. Was it worth the trip?
ReplyDeleteFabulous spoons.
ReplyDeleteSuperb!!!! Now I feel far away and annoyed that I can't just pop round and have a really close look.
ReplyDeleteAll your work is stunning, but this concertina book has really "got" me.
ReplyDeleteI'll be in England in May - will they be exhibited anywhere?
Love the spoons - will have to try to get down to the gallery- feel another purchase coming on!
