WHITE BRONZE CLAY STING RAYS - well you’ve seen the clay in its first stage, the red colour dried clay (greenware state), you’ve seen the end result, shiny and whitish gold, this is the in-between stage after the first firing stage, slate grey means that the organic binder has burnt away leaving only metal behind, this stage the pieces are fragile as the metal particles are not sintered together yet, that will happen once they are fired at 761 oC for a full two hours, covered in coconut carbon and enclosed in a stainless steel lidded box, to reduce the oxygen in there enabling the metal particles to fused into an incredibly strong piece of metal. Clever bit of magic ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sent via @planoly #planoly #nuMONDAY #numondayweek #numondayshop #nuMONDAYWeek #numondayseller #numondaycom #numondaynation #numondayjewellery #numondaysellerofinstagram #metalclay #metalclays #metalclayjewellery #metalclayexperiments #bronzeclay #silverclay #aussiemetalclay #antarticmoonlight #desertsun https://www.instagram.com/p/BqhGuXLAy7v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=96jof8p7emxc

Out With The Old, In With The New

Over time, every artist has stock and it can be frustrating that paintings can sit and take up valuable space. We all know artists always have alot of canvases, clay, tools, brushes and I count myself as one of them!

I was reviewing my work, from past and present and found stored canvases. I decided to take the following saying literally:

“Out With the Old, In with the new”

Masters, past and present, have often be known to roll their paintings for them to be stored and then later framed or re-mounted onto canvas stretchers.

I have done exactly that. Clear out the old and welcome in my new work. I have stacked up each painting (as below) and they have been rolled for storage and possible later to be exhibited, framed and/or sold.

#gallery-0-26 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-26 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-26 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-26 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Once the canvas has been un-mounted or freed from, you are left with lots of staples and the stretcher bars. 

#gallery-0-27 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-27 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-27 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-27 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The frame of the canvas are created mainly from wood and are nearly the same design that has been used for decades. Even Van Gough used such stretcher bars. Here are examples of what joined stretcher bars look like up-close:

Once the bars have been carefully seperated, taking care to not damage the joints, they can then be bundled together for storage.

This means I have beautiful wooden frames to use for new paintings. They can have any manner of canvas or material streched on them. You can buy raw canvas which are undyed and hold a special pattern within the weave. I have personally sourced the following.  You can also dye the canvas for you to achieve the colour.

I am aiming to dye the raw natural linen material using powdered flourescent colour pigment powders, similar to Brusho pigment powders.

We will see what the future holds and what transpires in my journey to…..

“Out With the Old, In With the New”

So…what is next????

Sent via @planoly #planoly 3rd day if @numondaycom week is how did you get started. I was given a silver clay kit for Xmas 5 years ago and was addicted. I use silver clay as well as trying all sorts of makes of coppers and bronze clays. Once I got myself a kiln, the coppers and bronzes are a cinch to fire, and they make the most beautiful colourful pieces. I love making twigs and leaves most. #nuMONDAY #numondayweek #numondayshop #nuMONDAYWeek #numondayseller #numondaycom #numondaynation #numondayjewellery #numondaysellerofinstagram #naturelover #naturejewellery #lovenature💚 #leafjewellery #gardeninglove #gardenerslife #leafveins #seeds #woodlands #woodlandtrust @woodlandtrust #succulents #alpineplants #cactiflowers #metalclay #ironclay #sunsetiron #metalclays #metalclayjewellery #metalclayexperiments https://www.instagram.com/p/BoLcyvdnjP7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18b03k5iiafbz
