Shape Shifters and Spirit Lifters

The Square Pegs have been curating for quite some time now- we have selected makers and artists, combining them to create exhibitions, sometimes themed, sometimes not, but always with quality and the skill of the artist as top of our list of criteria for inclusion

 our next show is no exception........

you will find some new names and work in the Guildhall in two weeks time. 

More information about exhibitors and their work will shortly be included on thesquarepegs.co.uk or why not follow us on our Facebook page for all the latest news  https://www.facebook.com/TheSquarePegs/

Flying Fish- DIY craft kit

Having enjoyed a lot of success with my kits to make concertina books  over the last year it seemed a good time to expand my range and  put together another kit.
Paper flying fish first caught my attention as they caught the breeze outside a shop in Brighton Lanes. They were brightly coloured, printed in bold patterns and just right as decorations or for fun on a beach.
This is my version:

Each fish kit has four silkscreen printed sections- simply cut them out, stick them together, insert the plastic ring for the mouth,add the cord and your fish is ready to fly.
Fish in multiple colour ways  available from my  ETSY shop

Handprinted Gift Wrap

A new batch of screen printed papers- all in blues- some on blue paper- this mornings job is to start on some in red/yellow colour-ways  to complement these.
Three screens are used to make this design but there are all sorts of combinations as soon as you use transparent and opaque inks to mix and match.

Grass Paper

 

Every year we have an amazing selection on grasses growing on our land. The shapes, sizes and colours give a variety of textures when combined on this paper. By overprinting layers the idea of a profusion of grasses is achieved without using the intricate shapes in each one.

This year I have printed onto three colours of paper- the green gives a softness to the design whereas the white paper accentuates the freshness of the country feel of this paper.
