Fairyland.

I was hoping to do a 'Fantasy Scene' for Art Journal Journey but won't get it finished for this months challenge for reasons mentioned in previous posts.

I know I said I was taking a break. (so give me a slap on my good hand). I am really, but I thought I would try and accomplish something by doing a little at a time.

This is how it looks so far.


I know it doesn't look much at the moment but I thought I would post today and at least share the idea behind it. I was watching a programme on antiques and was inspired by the beautiful iridescent colours of a  Fairyland Lustre bowl.

I have an idea for this piece going around in my head and it is so frustrating that I can't get it down on paper except for little by little with my left hand.

The tubes of paint in the picture give you an idea of the colours I plan to use.  I have a small selection of Lumiere paints that will come in handy for this piece. The little bottle in the above photo is Halo Blue Gold and below are some others that may come in handy for this piece.


Follow the link above and see some images of the Fairyland Lustreware and hopefully you can get a feel for what I hope to achieve......eventually that is.

I am linking this post to Paint Party Friday............well there is some paint on the page .Lol !!

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR BEST WISHES XXXX

  15. So glad you posted the process photos. I love seeing pieces from start to end. I have some Lumier paints in little jars but am not familiar with the squeeze containers. Wonder if they are the same paints. Looking forward to seeing what's next :) Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for your comments.

  16. Hmm, that's exactly what I said, that I would take a break. Which is, well, not going according to plan. But you're doing good, taking it easy, one step at a time.
