Coastal Collection in Seaglass and Sage

 

Before I get on with todays post I would like to profusely apologise.

I have just realised that all the answers that I have posted to comments on this blog haven't published and it looks like this has been going on for some time. It is always so lovely to read through peoples thoughts and insights to my work and I appreciate each and every one and I always do answer. I have been doing so the last couple of months as I have always done but it seems that they aren't being published since July. It seems very strange that I can't post a comment on my own blog and I have been through all the settings - nothing has changed. I'm not sure what to try next, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I seem to be able to comment on other blogs so I don't think it is my account...maybe a problem with this blog. It is all very strange. I do apologise - it feels rather like I have been ignoring friends and passing them in the street with my nose in the air - how rude! I do hope that I can get it sorted soon and you can accept my apologies.

For today's post I would like to share a new design and a new colour for my Coastal Collections at Spoonflower. Colours inspired by delicate sea green seaglass and my favourite green waves for the colouring paired with my favourite ammonite.

I have reworked and added my other designs in these colours they can all be found in a new collection here

Of course I had to  add this new design in all the blues for the other colourways, how could I not?

Abstracted Wave I - IV & Wave Water Sand Spray I & II mixed media on canvas boards

 

So I have been a little bit busy....

A new mini series of pieces using acrylic and collaged textures, mostly from fabric and textured papers. My love of line expressed through the loose threads and frayed edges which I think works well with the movement in the water that I am trying to suggest.

The rough edges feel important to me to the pieces and so I have left a margin of the white canvas board showing which frame the image. It has been suggested to me that it acts like a kind of frame and given their size they would suit standing propped on a shelf as well as framed. What do you think?

All four pieces are available in my Folksy Store.
