Journal "Through Winter's Door" - New Work!

Most of my followers here know me through
my artworks with fabric and fibre mostly,
however,
as I adventure outside of my comfort zone
into the world of paints and brushes I have completed
a new journal.

 

 Using one of my favorite subjects "Stone Angels"
I have entitled it
"Through Winter's Door"
 
 

I have stenciled, inked, painted, patched, experimented 
dyed and sewn



 and when angels are close to your heart
the art comes easily!

 





 Some of this vintage fabric I have even painted
and stamped. Behind these fabrics you can
see my swirling mind expressed with paints

 



 I'm really a beginner in this area
but using my handmade brush
I've made a start!


With my awl I scribed text onto painted and 
gessoed pages and with free machine stitching
scribed "love and guidance".
 

 

It's all about letting yourself go
giving it a "go"!

 

 


I think that is the key to it all!



 


 Enjoy!

 xox Suzy

  5. Wow indeed Suzie! I may have to 'steal' some of the elements (inspiration) as, I think I will make a journal for my Nephews' wife, she would love the Angels.
    Now, must go and search for some Angels! We've got a lovely Angel statue near the village school, so, I will start with a photo of that. It's a War memorial and it is so beautiful.
    Thanks once more for your beautiful artwork and showing us Bloggers what can be achieved! xxx

  7. It is the most beautiful thing you've ever made. It is right at the top of my list of things I would like to make. I don't know how to print on fabric so I would need some pretty printed art but I have been collecting vintage fabric and lace. You've inspired me my friend. Sweet hugs, Diane

  16. Trust me when I say this, Suzy ... in no way or fashion does this look like you are a beginner. Absolutely not.

    Rather, it appears that you were born creating just like this.

    Perfection!

  19. Oh wow oh wow dear Suzy, it's absolutely stunning!! It's one of my most favourite pieces of art of your hand so far! Gorgeous work, beautiful layers, great combining of the paints and papers and fabrics, just wonderful and utterly awesome! And so good to see you're experimenting and exploring as well. Good on ya :) Hope to see many more of your mixed media works. By the way, I see the influences of Nellie's work here, but with your very own unique and beautiful twist to it. Sending you love and hugs and very sunny smiles from heat-waved-Netherlands.
