Portraits and beadwork

THE START OF BEING CRAFTY


After 20 years of portraiture (some examples below) I put away the pastels and didn’t do anything arty for many years.

Brian - 1996

'Bushie by night' - 1997

Cally - 1990

Dog portrait - 1997

Gaden - 1991

Brian - 1996

'Perhaps tomorrow...' - 1996

Nude - 2001

'Smoulder' - 2002

Nude (after mastectomy) 2001

'Anguish' - 2002


My first project after portraiture was a beaded clutch bag. Brian designed the peacock motif which I embroidered onto the fabric and then attached the beads 2 at a time. It was a labour of love for my younger sister - about 40 hours of work over 2 months.
