Truth be told - we're late in announcing what we are up to.But oh my - didn't this month sneak up from behind & catch us both unaware!! We are both a little pushed for time, with Mallory preparing for a show & me never knowing what the each day will bring energy & concentration wise, so we have decided to simplify things for February's Artistic Challenge.
You'll remember that Mallory, of For the Love of Beads fame, & I said at the start that we would push ourselves to play with media that we hadn't before, or experiment with familiar media in new ways. This month we will be doing just that. We are going to explore copper further - this time in the form of using various patina's - hence "Well, colo(u)r me copper".
This one should certainly feed my artistic soul - as I adore colour!! Pop on over to Mallory's blog & check out her side of the story....
I don't have an image to use with this post - so am borrowing one from a local artist that works in recycled copper.
John Dory - by CopperWorkx
Check out Christchurch's CopperWorkx in particular their Marlin, it's amazing!! In fact have a browse all around their website & you can get a feel for just how many looks copper is capable of. I've been in love with their work for years & am blessed to own a couple of their pieces - a Gecko & a Piranha.
Thanks Jeremy - you know what your Mumma likes ;)

More than a little concerned for you right now. I know this post was made days ago and that on tonights new they have been showing us the Quake devestation from today. Are you and yours okay?
Sharon - We're fine! All present & accounted for, safe & well.
My sanity is still in tact - only just. The grief I feel at the suffering of others is almost overwhelming at times. Things are replaceable ..lives are not :(
