Mind the Gap, art on the underground.

 Mind The Gap

New art thats inspired by the underground.  I know of all places to be inspired, I guess this is not in your top 10 for Londons, tourist attractions.  

I was just out and about with my camera (I'm really not doing this enough)
I think the lettering that you take for granted, just caught my eye this trip.

That and the markings of worn foot prints and inground gum markings, arts not always pretty.

There art five practice pieces in this collection.  Mixed media, stitched and spray.

Below a montage of what I have done in no particular order.

I'm really pleased with it so far, and as with all my art its always a work in progress.

Konst





A New Year, New Art. I'm Back;-)

I'm on a roll and the art is flowing, I had taken a break, sabbatical from my Art blog, feeling that I had a little more knit than art to show........at that time.
(knits and Pearls)



Konst , Swedish for art.  
This is a collage of paper, tights and lettering painted on wood.  It's a shop brought damaged wooden picture that I covered by layering and layering.



The rose paper I found in a bag that I brought from New look, it was a floral stuffing and the lace tights where my favorite from Xmas that I decided to recycle.  The elastic had sadly gone ,so the next best thing to wearing them a canvas. Its a permanent reminder of my fav tights, Random I have worn my art.
A quick post but i'm back, big thanks for sticking with me;-)
