Claudio Kron, Drumming4Business, 24 - 29 August

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?

I nearly gave up - then I got the parcel I thought ‘flippin ‘eck I was going to give up!’ When I opened it and I saw a printed A4 sheet with drawings of eyes and brains, very computerised I changed my mind instantly about what I was going to do. I went straight to my comfort zone which is music, however I applied my music in a completely different way.

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?

The eyes and the brain on the A4 sheet that Neil had provided for me. I started to sing a song straight away using phrases that came to mind. Then I realised that there wasn’t just an A4 sheet but a 32 second animation that my music fitted perfectly.

3. Describe your piece?

My piece is music that I describe as electro-organic. That is when I base the whole music on organic percussion instrument, most of them originated from Brazil and Africa, plus mainly household utensils, like a brush, cup and machinery.

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?

I learned that it’s very easy to give up and I think the project has opened my eyes to do things I always hesitate to do, such as using pre-recorded electronic music. Don’t give up!

Neil Woodhouse, 3-DVS, 17 - 22 August

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?
My original thoughts were a shower cap with furry holes. And then I thought to myself it reminds me of a brain.

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?
When I looked at that and thought it was a brain it reminded me of the covers you used to see on Yes albums.

3. Describe your piece?
It’s an animation. Surreal interpretation of a furry shower cap with holes in it!

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?
That people can actually work together to produce individual interpretations as pieces.

Samantha Bryan, Brains Faries, 10 - 15 August

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?
When I was first able to experience my parcel I felt overwhelmed, over stimulated and thoroughly daunted. I was impressed by Karen’s contribution and was concerned it would be a difficult one to follow.

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?
The piece offered such a vast amount of imagery and inspiration. I found I could only respond by focussing on one image on the disc and the sound that supported that particular image. The image was that of a splash in water. I looked at the still and began trying to recreate what I could see using the materials that I had to hand. I tried not to think too much about what I was doing and let the materials and the process dictate the outcome....working very differently to how I would usually work.

3. Describe your piece?
My piece is a delicate three dimensional form covered in projections.

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?
This project forced me to think differently about the creative process. It has unearthed a desire to make without having to produce an outcome that can be sold...to create simply because I want to....not because I have to.

Karen Stansfield 27 July – 1 August

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?

Trepidation, the unknown about to be revealed and the excited, nervousness on my own abilities to respond.

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?

The scale and the placement of the two main paper sculptures, key factors for my piece.

3. Describe your piece?

A multi media collage of images and sound exploring the relationship between mother and daughter and her stepping out of childhood into the adult world.

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?

A mass of ideas to develop; reaffirming one career choice to be in the Arts and to continue to pursue it.

Helaina Sharpley 20 - 25 July

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?
I was initially flummoxed by Amy's piece, wondering how she had come to this conclusion, and how I was going to respond!

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?
I decided to concentrate on the 'floor' of Amy's piece (which looked like a swirling pool of blood!?) It wasn't the disturbing element of this I liked, but the pattern quality of it.

3. Describe your piece?
A delicate, simple, yet intricate paper piece, influenced by a recent discovery that I liked origami!

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?
I have learnt that perhaps not everything I do has to have a 'saleable conclusion or product.' It's ok just to make something for the enjoyment.

Amy Hirst 13 - 18 July

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?
My instinctive reaction to the work in the first parcel was that I just wanted to touch it – it looked such an inviting texture!

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?
In the third parcel was a film with obsessive, repetitive movement of feet …there was a sense of confusion and frustration, as though those feet would love to escape if only they could!

3. Describe your piece?
A dark imagined world. It’s yours to explore now… take a good look around, touch it, make up your own stories….but don’t have nightmares!
Title: Those who wear uncomfortable shoes are never in perfect health. The title is taken from advice given in The Home Doctor 1935 edition

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?
It’s a good way to get to know your peers and takes some of the competitive edge out of networking.

Carrie Scott-Huby 6 - 11 July

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?
Excited! Very excited! Especially that Damian had produced a trilogy. I loved the whole process from the anticipation, receiving, opening, and creating.

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?
What I truly loved and was inspired by in equal parts was both the sound and vision.

3. Describe your piece?
My creative response was a culmination of my current and continuing influences; knitting, science and rhythm. I am especially grateful to be able to have the opportunity to achieve ideas I’ve had in my head for years.

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?
The project has proven again to me how collaborative working can give you challenges you would other wise be too busy for. And present new stimulation and enthusiasm for yourself and perhaps later on develop into new work and business potentials.

Carrie Scott-Huby 6 - 11 July

Damian Clark: 29 - 4 July

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?

I felt a combination of surprise, delight and excitement upon seeing Michael’s artwork. I was overwhelmed by the array of ideas that it gave me - It was truly inspiring.

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?

Two particular aspects to Michael’s sculpture from which I drew my inspiration. Firstly, I immediately saw a connection between the construction and the how the wire was wrapped around with some computer-generated images that I’d been working with, which I used in my final art piece. Secondly, was the double Helix that I could see in the delicate antenna on top of the Michael’s sculpture - the same shape found within the DNA structure.

3. Describe your piece?

My Art piece is a Triptych that consists of a Movie (computer-generated image), Music and 2-D Digital Art; through which I explore the concept that other non-carbon based life could exist, as plasma based life forms.

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?

There are number of positive outcomes that I’ve gained from the Pass the Parcel project. Firstly it has helped to reinforce my existing creative skills and also given the confidence develop new ones. In addition to this, having to create something within a very short and strict timeframe as shown me that I am capable of producing good work under pressure. And finally that it has helped to bond the group, and me, personally, creatively and professionally.

Michael Barrett: Emelbi. 22 - 27 June

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?

I was excited to be opening the parcel. I couldn’t wait to see what was inside. My initial response was to spend some time absorbing what I was looking at and how it made me feel. It was challenging but fun to form decisions about how best to proceed based upon what I had found.

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?

The piece I received from Andrew Warburton was abstract and minimalist. It was the way in which the marks had been made and his use of metallic paint that most influenced me. I developed my artwork from these beginnings.

3. Describe your piece?

Funky I think. Well, I find it funky! It was an undertaking and quite time consuming. I had never used this type of material in this way before, so it was challenging and experimental. I wanted to make something aesthetically pleasing and quirky. I’m pleased with the result.

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?

Don’t be afraid to try something different or something challenging. You never know what the outcomes may be or where they might take you. It’s been great to work on this project with so many artists involved. It’s amazing what you can achieve together with communication, cooperation and being involved in the first place.

Andrew Warburton: Area Rugs & Carpets 15 -20 June

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?
Dawn and I opened the parcel together whilst partaking a cake and a cup of coffee. My initial though was “aye eye” which strangely enough was the kind of reaction that Dawn had when she was inspired to take the photograph, she explained.

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?
I liked the idea of seeing something in a picture that normally wasn’t there. Taking an image from everyday life and giving it a new meaning.

3. Describe your piece?
The piece that came from this was based on a Google satellite map image from a weekend away that I had during my Pass the Parcel time. It was by accident I came across the image just looking whereabouts I had been that weekend. The image is an exact copy of an area just east of Heacham near Sandringham and King’s Lynn.

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?
Creatively this has given me a chance to work in a medium that I have never worked in before. It has also brought together numerous ideas that I have wanted to pursue for a long time and hadn’t given myself the opportunity to do so.
Pass the Parcel has allowed me the freedom to do something completely different from what I have done before. Similar to being back at college and having those creative juices flowing again.

Dawn Robinson: 8 June - 13 June 2009

Dawn Robinson

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?
I wrote these down when I opened up the parcel:Sparkly eyes; Young, freckles; Lips determined; Mischievous/ Cool/ Smug look

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?
The eyes really stood out for me and I do have a thing about eyes. My thoughts were to create some kind of collage to create an eye using natural texture – petals, leaves etc with possibly using a faint image of the picture in the pupil of the eye. I started to gather materials and even got the paints out. I realised that I was really short on time and that I had other ‘business’ deadlines to fulfil so unfortunately I had to scrap the collage idea.

3. Describe your piece?
My piece ended up being a photograph, it is a picturesque scene of a bridge but the real emphasis is the fact that with the reflection of the water, it had created an eye. I wanted to still use the initial portrait as part of the reflection so with a little Photoshop work I placed the image into the picture.

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?
Should I do something like this again, I would do it differently. I am a photographer, my creative skills are with my camera and the use of Photoshop to maybe enhance or ‘play’ with the image. I think that part of the fact that I stayed with photography rather than some other form was my lack in confidence and ability in creating something using other material. Looking back I think I could have come out of my comfort zone and tried the collage that I originally wanted to do.

Chris Chapman: 1 June - 6 June 2009

Chris Chapman

1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?
Starting off the project was difficult as I had nothing to respond or interpret.

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?
As I have limited time for 'personal work' I decided to be inspired by my personal life. There is no time for self indulgence commercially so as I have always enjoyed portraiture/life drawing I decided that my piece was going to be my son Noah. I wanted to see how quickly something personal to me would be abstracted with each pass of the parcel.

3. Describe your piece?
Coming from a fine art background my art has always been realistic and faithful to the subject. I wanted to create a portrait that was
big on the page, just focusing on the face. The expression is a little quirky representing my son’s sense of humour.

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?
I have learned that I need to make time for my art and there needs to be a work/life balance. Perhaps in doing so my graphic design will develop in a way I hadn't anticipated too. As a graphic designer my inspiration comes from a myriad of different sources, maybe now my own art might be a welcome addition to what is usually computer generated commercial work.

So glad you bothered Cloudio..... loved what you did,especially liked the recording of the printing press.

I also look forward to more of this.....

Eyes & Mindz

When I agreed to be part of the project I was not very sure of what I could come up with!! We are a group of 12 different artists who know each other through our creative activities, however I always felt a bit behind because I was the last one in the queue, but in a way that was also good!!

When I got the parcel I hesitate a little bit because through the whole process I thought about giving up and quitting many times! In a way I didn’t want to let any one down and not be able to deliver so I carried on regardless.

Although music is my profession and my first LOVE I thought to do something different as I use to paint quit a lot before, I'm not good however I sold only a few of my works and the majority of the 13 artist was doing painting, photo, visual, anyway!!!

I spoke to Robin about it!! With the envelop on my desk, still closed and that was on the third day, I keep looking at it!! When I did decide to open the envelope that the previous artist provided me with all I had to work from was an A4 sheet printed with visuals of a few brains and eyes!!

Instantly I starting singing a song using the word “eyes and mind" then thinking "How many dreams we have in our heads" ( Part of a poetry I wrote a year ago!! So I put it into use).

I booked a studio in Bradford, I was there anyway finishing my latest CD!! Myself and a producer called Grant Hendenson recorded all the thoughts and ideas I had in that day and in 3 hours 10 mins the work was complete!!

Here is a list List of the instrument in the recording

Talking Drum
Pandeiro
Sweeping brush
Ganza
Printing machine
Construction spad
Jon block
Mini block
Tamborin
Reco Reco
Vocals

Let me know is there is another Pass the Parcel!!!

A retrospective post.

Soooo i get a phone call from Sam, my parcel is at LOCA.

A box. No Weight. Is it empty? Nope it wasn't. At first the contents reminded me of a hairy shower cap with holes in it. Then it reminded me of some of the surreal art seen in the 70's on the covers of Yes Albums. A brain i thought. So i went utterly surreal. Then i thought let's make it worthwhile and produce a 30 sec animation. What i passed on is just one frame.

Hope Claudio is into prog rock. Enjoy.

so close now......

It has been good to see how inspired people have been. I am soo looking forward to Monday 7th for the revealing of all the works.

Carrie Scott-Huby

passing the parcel......

well the parcel has now been passed.
I can now look forward to seeing everyone's parcels...
I honestly found the whole process very tricky, but this shows just how much I stay in my world. I should get out more!

good luck Neil

Samantha Bryan

a little look at what I am working on.........

Samantha Bryan

Time is running out....

I am just not sure.........but time is nearly gone.
I suspect that without a deadline I would still be deciding what to do.

The only rule that I set myself was to stay away from laborious outcomes....and I think I broke that rule. Perhaps it is just in my nature to work very intricately.

I am finding it so hard to create something that has no destination. Playing rather than finishing. I feel outside of my comfort zone.


Samantha Bryan

www.brainsfairies.co.uk

Yay I made the image appear!!
Sorry for the delay.....i have had technical difficulties...all kinds.

I have only just managed to fully appreciate Karen’s pass the parcel......wow well done Karen!
She will be amused (hopefully) at all the random emails that I have sent her today.

Is it possible to be over inspired?

Let it begin....

Well - Done!

Well-done Karen!

Knowing how challenging this first appeared to you before you started the week – it was a great pleasure to see you actually relaxing and really enjoying the creative process.

…This shows on the final piece - it's wonderful!

For me this is what “pass the parcel” is all about – The freedom to have fun with creativity!

I can’t wait to see all of the artworks together!

Good luck to all those to follow…Have fun!

Completed and ready to pass on!

Alas, back home.

A little tease image wise.

My work is completed and ready to pass onto Samantha.

Parcel is ready to return home to Helaina, he had a great time and the weather was good so he has a nice glowing tan!

Giggle!

Karen

www.kaboodledesign.co.uk

Phewwww

how exciting...... . I have not logged on for awhile.

I have found it interesting reading the postings from the lastest backwards.....

It is sooo good people are being challenged. Just what we need in live to step aside from or rutted path and be thrilled...

I can barely wait to see the responses.

Sadly I did not get my own sneak preview in Whitby!!


Well done one and all, enjoy!

Whitby reporting in...

Hello from Whitby!

Enjoying a nice cold beer in a cyber cafe and thought i'd report in.

Started at the beginning of the week gathering my thoughts and ideas on my response to Parcel, busy exploring different mediums and being free in this. Got loads at this stage and I will be homing "it" into a completed piece soon.

I have had moments where my head has been bursting with ideas, which as been at times a little overwhelming. It is impacting on my time here as what I am seeing and experiencing is in some way connecting with the parcel - sometimes very spookily!

Surprising connections everywhere!

.....Mean while to Parcel himself who is having a whale of a time!.....
He has enjoyed a walks on the beach, a ride on a donkey and the hedonistic play on the "tu-penny" slot machines, copious amounts of icecream and ginger beer!

Karen

www.kaboodledesign.co.uk

Good cake choice...

I'm so pleased that the response to my little parcel has been positive, and that Karen seems to be treating it like one of the family! Rocky road is always a good cake/biscuit choice aswell!

Helaina
www.helainasharpley.co.uk

The "WOW!" factor.

Andrew Warburton has not been doing his job properly and as the unofficial photographer for Karen’s pass the parcel, he is belatedly letting you have a sneaky peek at the unwrapping of the parcel from Helaina.

At this point I would just like to say that it was by pure coincidence that I gate crashed Karen’s opening of the parcel at Sainsbury’s cafe, honest. There was a collective “wow!” that came from us once the parcel was opened. I had a hard time keeping my initial impressions to myself as this was Karen’s moment and I was just an intruder. Here is the photographic record that I took so that you can enjoy it as well.

Just in case you were wondering what was in the other parcel, I can reveal that it was this….

I hope that the next pass the parcellers have as much fun as we both had unwrapping it in Sainsbury's before we were kicked out (other coffee shops are available).

Adventure & Holiday

Wow Karen, this is sounding like a big creative undertaking even before the parcel is unwrapped, what a great story, keep us all posted

Robin Widdowson
Loca

Parcel goes on Holiday!

OK Reporting in,

I thought i'd leave him, Parcel behind but no, he is coming with us all to Whitby!

I will let the boys to go on adventures over the Nab and I will concentrate on my task. Unsure how the new setting will influence the development of the piece, but it's ment to be.

Looking forward to the freedom,

What an exciting oppurtunity for us all to be involved in, I am looking forward to seeing everyones work at the end of the project.

Bye, I will report back after my holiday!

Karen

Parcel goes on an adventure....

Parcel was a bit miffed....three days on a shelf, waiting for Karen to get to the end of the daily tick list.

"Please be patient” Karen said to Parcel “I have to go and get the car fixed at lunch time, perhaps you would like to join me?”

Parcel was delighted in going for a trip out!

Off to Dewsbury they went, after dropping the car off at Kwik Fit they strolled through Dewsbury town centre, nipping into a couple of fashion boutiques for a glimpse of anything nice to purchase for the pending vacation to Whiby.

They came to rest and take refreshment at Sainsburys Café. A suitable window of opportunity to unwrap Parcel, thought Karen.

“What in such a public area?!” questioned Parcel alarmingly. Karen reassured Parcel that it would be “alright” and “the people here are too busy with their own lives to notice us”.

Sitting at the café window looking out watching the weather change continually, Karen took her time to relax.

By coincident Andrew Warburton walked passed the Café window. He could not believe Parcel had not been unwrapped yet!!!

Karen made a choice there and then to allow Andrew to participate in the unwrapping of Parcel, as she had unwittingly forgot to bring her camera and by good fortune Andrew possessed his fancy camera phone.

The moment had finally arrived! Parcel was slowly revealed. Karen savoured every moment. She was delighted and in awe at the beauty revealed.

Helaina has created a most delightful, evocative piece of Art.

Karen is excited and intrigued about the adventure she is about to undertake…..

Restraint of a Saint?

Oh Yeh - Thats me alright!

Parcel still unwrapped and on the shelf - perhaps it will go for a scuttle around my home?

Who knows!

Karen :)

I don't believe you've not opened it!

You've got the restraint of a saint! I couldn't wait to open it! Here is the parcel I gave to Karen this morning...
Helaina
www.helainasharpley.co.uk

Received, but not revealed!

Right then!

I have received the parcel from Helaina - We enjoyed a nice cup of tea and a bun during the hand over.

Strange to read your comments that you are nervous at my reaction upon opening it!

I will be suitable surprised when it happens…..Yes everyone the parcel is on the shelf in my living room waiting patiently to be un wrapped.

This special moment will happen when my present workload lessens and I can give the occasion my full, undivided attention – because that’s what it deserves!

Wait to hear more.

Karen

NEXT!

Well, I finished the piece last night, having not worked on it since Thursday. I am pleased with it, but a little nervous about what Karen will think and do! I gave it to her this morning, so good luck Karen and have fun!

Helaina
www.helainasharpley.co.uk

I think I'm getting there, with a little reassurance from my Mum!

I think I'm getting there! Yay! I asked my Mum to come and see it last night, she's an art teacher by trade, and she gave me a little reassurance, so I feel more confident in it now. I'm not going to lie to you, it's still 'craft' (I don't think in a 'fine art' way) and it's quite a simple idea, but I think it's got enough intrigue to engage a viewer for a while.
I've just got to finalise the composition and then fix it all in place, and I'm done! But I'm sure the finishing touches won't be as quick as they sound, they never are.

Helaina
www.helainasharpley.co.uk

still not sure....

Thank you for the encouragement Robin, and yes you're right, my everyday practice is always focussed on the end saleable product, and although it is always a creative process, the piece is determined by the customer.
So, last night I tried to resolve my issues with what I'd started. But this really just involved looking and changing the composition around. I was missing some materials (as I'm working at home on it, not at the studio - one of the following artists (Samantha Bryan, is in the same studio building as me, so I can't risk having it at the studio, just in case she sees it.) So I need to take some more things home today to see if that solves my problem. I'm also struggling with keeping within the size guidelines, I prefer to work big, so I keep having to remind myself to keep it to a postable size!

Helaina
www.helainasharpley.co.uk

I can imagine how difficult this must be for you given how your practice usually operates. I would say that you need to be creative (on this project) without having too much of a critical eye on your artwork. This is a great opportunity to be able to experiment and produce in response to someone else’s creation without the worry of somebody purchasing it or the obvious constraints from a commissioner. Just go for it and use your creative instincts.

Robin Widdowson
Loca

doubt has set in....

I gave myself an hour and a half to work on the piece last night (I've got alot of work on, so everything is time critical.) And to be honest, I'm not sure I'm on the right track! I've realised that not having critical feedback is making me unsure. I've always worked from a studio, with other artists around, so there's always someone to ask and reassure or offer suggestions. So, after my time allotted slot last night, I began doubting whether the thing I was doing/making was any good or relevant, so I decided to leave it and come back to it tonight. I'll either continue or start again!

A very blurry image of some of the discarded materials....

Flummuxed.....

I collected my parcel last night from Amy (it's a good job, as I'm not sure it would have survived the post!) I had a clear idea of what I thought Amy might have created in my head, as I know her practice and jumped to conclusions. There was also a little note on the box saying how I could touch it, and mentioned string. This is why I was flummuxed when I opened it!
I looked at it for a while, then wrote down all the elements I liked or that I found interesting about it. This has lead me onto an idea, which I started playing with last night, and meant I was still experimenting three hours later! It's good to have something different to work on and tax my brain in a completely different direction.

This is a snippet of Amy's piece, which I hope to take forward....

Helaina

www.helainasharpley.co.uk

Lots of possibilities!

I'm inspired by the feet! - that's all I can say right now

Amy

www.sensationprojects.net

its like my birthday has come early!

Just recived my parcel! (Hand delivered for that personal touch) I've got an assortment of three packages, all very well wrapped ..one in brown paper, one in a tube and one in a jiffy bag- could almost be an installation in itself. ....which has just made me think of something - I can see how writing a blog can give you ideas. I'll be back once i've opened the packages...

Amy Hirst

The final thrust...... technology...... aaaaah!

Why are the final stages soo troublesome? Does anyone else experience this?

I am passing on the parcel tomorrow, at this moment in time I will be relieved to do so!

Here goes!

I must remember it is good for me too catch up with 21st Century and leave my Luddite principles behind....... !

Carrie Scott-Huby
http://www.pinkmooninspires.co.uk/

more biscuits consummed!

The conclusion is drawing to a close......
a little stressed.......
a little sadness creeping in....

I want to continue working in "project" land!
Having the indulgence to work on ideas that have been shelved for far too many years., I can barely remember how long ..... .
Well, its like how the saying goes.... 'be careful what you wish for'!. As I ask myself "Whats next"?

A sense of euphoria is followed be a sense of loss of a dream.

I am looking to my next dream to fulfil.

Artwork update

I have more-or-less just got back from leave and am so pleased to see how the Blog and the artworks are progressing. Damian, its fascinating to see how you have translated Michael's piece into your interpretation and how you have used a new medium to do this, will be interesting to see if this influences you work from now on. Carrie, very intriguing, can't wait to see how this progresses, good luck!

Great to hear that you have all enjoyed the process so much!!

Robin Widdowson

theories, gigglings and bisciuts!

I have been furthering research and development. Absorbing it all, to make manifest ideas and theories, translate them into creative artworks.

I am loving every minute of this dedicated time.

developments

Developments have been a at a slower pace today... been caught up with other daily business activities... so its great to get down to business... I don't want to give the game away so "that’s all folks..."


Carrie Scott-Huby

a hint...

completed one thing.... its sooo difficult not to give the game away.

I am loving the inspiration I got from Damian Clark. I am keeping on with one aspect of Damian's and a link with the title/ theme of his.

I am desperately trying not to look at the other postings from the previous artists, I want a complete surprise when we exhibit in August 2009.

t...houghts

I have been busy 'creating' in response to Damian's 'pass the parcel', honing my ideas... but wanting to keep the response fresh and vital! I have also been watching the programs about the lunar landings, astronauts and such like ..... an added inspiration..... .

signing out for now, Carrie Scott-Huby

Ooooh just as I thought I was getting the hang of it.....

got the parcel

I was delighted with the parcel itself..... a brown paper package, a favourite.... . A journey in Bluebell... ( my campervan) taking the parcel home, carefully.... enjoying the anticipation.... then the experience of unwraping the two brown paper packages.... shear joy.... and what a discovery.......

I am so inspired, infact too inspired..... oooo so many ideas... what indulgence...

www.pinkmooninspires.co.uk

Finished!

I’ve had to work very hard to finish this and there’ve been many late nights to get it all done – But it’s finished at last! Phew!

… And I’m really pleased with the results!

This collaboration has been a real joy to do and I’ve loved every moment of it!

It’s given me the opportunity and freedom to delve into new areas of creativity that I’ve always wanted to explore, yet only dabbled in before.
I think this is an area I will continue to work with well into the future… There’s so much more to discover!

It’s now time to pass it onto Carrie Scott-Huby…Good luck Carrie and enjoy !

Evolution

This has taken some doing, but everything is falling into place now.

…It’s moving, breathing and reacting! No, I’ve not created a monster, but hopefully something you will see as quite beautiful.

Here’s a little teaser…

Any ideas what it is yet?

Mutation

Another Brilliant Night! The hairs were standing up on the back of neck during last night’s development… I’m so enjoying this!

Ideas have begun to forge and mutate.

My creation is now resonating and oscillating… It’s coming alive!

.... But what is it??

Late night No.1

Well as I suspected yesterday that it was going to be a late night – it was! … Put it this way, the birds were singing when I decided it was time for bed!

But it was an extremely productive night. I always find the first few hours the most important when I’m inspired; I like to get down as many ideas as possible.

The problem now is that I have got so many ideas, and within different disciplines – Where do I go from here?

…Can I somehow fuse these ideas together and forge them into a coherent whole?

…So many possibilities and yet so little time!

Here’s a little taste of one of the avenues I was exploring

Stay tuned for more….

It's arrived!

Hello All,

Just received my parcel from Michael - Wow! Not what I was expecting, but absolutely fascinating – It looks great!

Well-done Michael!

I’m already buzzing with ideas and can’t wait to get stuck into it…Think it’s going to be a late night.

But what am I going to do??

Watch this space!

And on it goes again...

That’s it. The deed is done.

I have fully and completely enjoyed every second of this process,
from concept to finished article.
I think I will be revisiting this technique again fairly soon,
such was my enjoyment.
I have many more ideas to explore with the materials that I have used.

Now over to Damian Clark for the next round of creative play.
Have a huge amount of fun and good luck mate.
